    Hi math

    Whott? jacketed bullets for 2400fps only ?

    Where do you get the brass for that gun? I always found it odd that it uses standard bolt size but such a peculiar case. Do you cut and turn .404 Nitro?
    How does it feed? Is it an original or did you have it made?

    Right now I wish lead wire could be found in hardware stores, as it has become very difficult to cast with the number of people in the house... I would love swaging...

    ps, did you check your pm's?

    Hi kg42

    I got the brass from Horneber Hülsen in Germany. No its not a orginal , i had it made on a Husqvarna 640 vhich is a Mauser 98 whitout the cut in the side for cliploading. It feeds great but i was told it took about 30 hour to fix that and the dropmagazine so it would hold 4 runds

    Hello y'all, I hope you don't mind if I post to this older thread, but...?

    I'm new to this Board, but I hope you good folks'll permit me to ask a couple of questions...?

    Doesn't Dave Corbin advise when casting cores, to adjust your core mould such that the cores are several grains too heavy, then run them through the core swaging die, and the excess weight is bled off after any and all potential air pockets are eliminated?

    thats the way i understand it too. but if you have too much it plugs up the bleed hole.
