Thanks swheeler, is that Lee cast bullet wearing a check or is it bare?
About how large are you cutting that poly wad? I have some Harbor Freight round punch cutters and had thought to use those, with a lead bed, to cut out some wads.
As to trimming, I am using a Lee case length trimmer and a power screwdriver.
Tell me, do you know of a method to mark formed cases so they can not be confused with standard rounds or other calibers, formed from the same mother-brass?
Cheers,
Eli
Eli; it is gas check and ran thru .313 sizer. I cut the WAlly World poly into about 1/2 sguares and push it in with a wood dowel. I've never marked any of my formed cases as to caliber.
