Making Bullets

I have an itch to try my hand at making bullets, but only have a superficial knowledge of the subject. Anyone have any tips, resources, books, etc to recommend that could get me started on educating myself?

That is one slick press. Excellent design and fine machining.

I remember back in the day on one of my business trips to Phoenix I picked up some jackets from Walt for TJ and Frank in Austin, Walt and Eunice were making the bullets in their garage with what looks like Rockchuckers. Just looking at the picture yours looks like might be better than converted Rockchuckers.

Yes much more reliable than anyone modified, I had got some Redding modified that had poor tolerance, mine have 0,0005" in all shafts so that placed
bullets on ICC with runout max as 2 index. I haven't get so good result before with Redding or Rockchuker
