I wash and anneal the fired 22 rf cases, then I iron out the rim to make the tube, next step is to run them into the sizing die to uniform them for the 223 diameter, then I cast the cores, then run them into the die to make them one uniform size and weight. finally I place the cores into the jackets, press them in to the bottom of the jacket with a pin, and then lube and run into the final die that makes the pointed ogive bullet. Each of those operations I do on the total number that I plan to make. With the 6mm bullets, I would have to have a different die to swage the cores to the correct weight and diameter for the 6mm product, a die to expand the jackets to 6mm and I would have to have a die for making the final bullet. I'm holding off buying any more equipment until I recover from these surgeries. Blitzfike</p></blockquote><p></p>
