Gentlemen,
First, let me take this opportunity to say a BIG thank-you to all the people who contributed to the various threads about bullet making among many years. BRC is a true gold mine.
From what I have gathered, holes are placed quite near the punch position once the core is squirted. The holes are therefore "far away" or "oposite" from the ejector / counter punch side.
Is there a reason for that position of the squirt holes ? better weight concistency ? lead swaged in a more homogeneous way ?
I understand that lead bleed coming into the press threading can be a problem. But is there a reason more on the lead swaging side itself ?
Thank you.
Oliver.
