[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1325132, member: 25383"] I used either 3/8th" or 1/2" 1020 steel plate with holes drilled and reamed for dowel pins (drill rod will do just as well). I turned down the ends of the dowel pins to fit the case neck, and also leave a small step. Some of them didn't need to be turned at all, so I left them alone. Mostly used .376" diameter pins. Still need to do a .458" and a .429" plate and pins. Once the plate gets up to around 600 degrees, it's time to goto work. I like at least a dozen pins on the plate. Then you put the brass on the pins in thirty second intervals (one pin at a time). Use a temp stick at first to see where your at, and after awhile you don't need it.. Lastly make sure the pin goes past the total neck length! Say .10" longer. Somebody is now making and selling the plates, but who I don't know. I got the idea from the bench rest crowd. I thought about one plate that had screw in pins, but it'd took forever to make the pins. gary [/QUOTE]
