Making Your Own Bullets

[BillBrawand]

there are rumors surrounding any success. George is still going strong.

bill brawand is still around andoing it all new degsined presses neww 7.5 8 ojive carbide dies new shaker boards for jackets and leads for 105 gr.6m and 6.5 814 335 0450 c.

[sup][/sup] remenber lead is soft even up to 6 percent it will flow with the amt. Of pressure from the punch and shoot like hell i did a lot of jt.

i also make spitzer 100 gr' for 243 out of 6 percent lead they look like sierras

 

[BillBrawand]

And 222 7mm. Shoot better than gang busters.

Bill are you telling me you make a 222gr 7MM Match bullet???

I don't own a 7mm of any sort but I'll build one to try out a 222gr bullet.

i meant 222 spitzer bulletand 160 gr spitzer in 7mm.used them for hunting unbeleiveable.

6 percent atimony

6 percent atimony

got some 6 percet antimony by mistake in truck load of leaqd wire tried in 6mm. 63 gr. In 6ppc shot zeros . Nothing wrong with but liked for spitzer hunting bullets in all cal.

made 64 gr. In 222 like sierra. Worked great for turkeys.

if you expierment with your lead length you can make a great spitzer bullet.

with the right length jacket.

 

[TrxR]

Bill do you make carbide dies in 30cal?

 

[BillBrawand]

bill do you make carbide dies in 30cal?

i will be in the future i am concentration o 7.5 8 o0jive at this time. But will glady help anyone.

6 percent atimony

llyrs ago i made 185 gr. 7 mm to shoot 1000 yd.did quite wellon detsch die.

And as more than one bullet maker has found out, simply speeding up
press cycling does not always work.
The core needs some time to flow under the pressure from the die.

You are moving lead by pure mechanical force.
There are real reasons the presses are so massive.
You do not want the 'line loads' between the parts to be to short.
Think of a pin rotating in a hole.
The contact ares is a line along the length of the pin.
Exceeds the strength of the pin or hole and things start to permanently deform with each cycle.

Let alone the actual surface wear fro friction between the bullet and the parts themselves.

The double action of the link in the press allows the leverage length to approach 0, the lever arm is constantly decreasing.
Eventually it passes though zero creating infinite mechanical advantage.
It is limited by the strength (compressive) of the materials used to make the press linkage.
That is why holes and pins must be hardened.
