yesDo you need a completely different die to do a different ogive bullet? Say a 30cal 118 7ogive or a 8 ogive?
Thanks

Lead is not hard to get. Jackets can be. There are no fumes to control at all. No permits or anything of the sort unless you’re selling. In that case you need an FFL of the correct type and to follow all the rules, local and federal. For personal use, you can just do it.Is lead easy to obtain? Are permits and filters for fume control required?
what does it take to take a 7mm 100gr or 110gr or 120gr bullet and trim the heel off and lightening them up to 85gr? has anyone done this? is this do-able? or can I take a 270 bullet (6.8)and "bump" it up to 7mm ?? thoughts and Ideas!!!
April 1st is the only day i get propositions.Had to check the calendar on this one to make sure it wasnt April 1st
Both are bad ideas. Look into bullet making dies and tools. They are expensive though so probably not worth it.

Type 06 is for making ammunition. A bullet is not ammunition unless they have changed the definition in the past year.Yes sir, class 6.
You need at least a Type 6 to manufacture and sell.Type 06 is for making ammunition. A bullet is not ammunition unless they have changed the definition in the past year.
That sure is weird. Youd figure you need it for loaded ammo but not making components. Nothing surprises meYou need at least a Type 6 to manufacture and sell.
There is no logic. None. Even the bureaucrats can’t figure it out.That sure is weird. Youd figure you need it for loaded ammo but not making components. Nothing surprises me
Factory support, modern control system, availabilty of parts, tooling such as collets, etc. $2500 isnt going to go far on a swiss machine. Gotta check on expense of moving it plus accessability of the machine. Also power requirements- they have multiple motors and need lots of power. Some spindles are 30-50hp and are 480v. With the controls they may not be supported now and you cant even put a program into it without going and finding an old tandy 386 computer. See if they will assist with loading it onto the freight truck (weight too) then check to see if your building will even support it. Some machines need isolated slabs that are 12”+ thick to get a good finish especially on something like a bulletI just found a swiss screw cnc machine on Ebay for 2500.00,,,,, I havent the foggiest clue if its a fixerupper or if its a runner.. But it is within my price range to experiment... so what qualities do I look for in a good machine?
