I have Ferris Pindell bullet dies in 22 and 6mm. His bullet dies were made to go into what he called "body dies" that threaded into the presses he made from RCBS Rock Chucker presses. My body dies look very similar to the black die ridgeway posted a picture of above.
Ferris sold me a 6mm tipping die back around 2000, I think. He was the first one I ever heard of doing this, and I went over to his house to pick it up.
I also think he was the first one to start making double ogive dies. He and I sat at his kitchen table and he drew up a two ogive bullet design, using one tangent ogive and one secant ogive blended into the first one. I didn't actually follow his thought process (or the math involved), and I don't know if that was the FIRST double ogive bullet, but I had not seen others at that time. He made a few of those double ogive point-up dies for me. I think I still have his drawing around here somewhere.
Ferris was a great guy. I miss him...
