[QUOTE="BallisticExpansion, post: 2326013, member: 116552"] Just an update for everyone. Firstly I've decided the shop this job out to my buddy (Jared) 5min down the road who does machining and welding in his spare time on the side. I'm simply too busy between my day job and the small ammo/brass business that I am self starting. Anyway, I will be working directly with Jared to do the prototype and then he/I will start churning them out provided prototype and testing goes well. I was bedridden for the middle 2wks of October with COVID so that killed prototype plans to meet with Jared. Then he was gone all last week hunting. And now I leave end of this week for 2wks to elk hunt. The plan is to link up with him one evening this week before I leave and machine the prototype wheels. I'm hoping to do a large set and a standard set but with a large case diameter cut for the short mags. I'm thinking a standard set will still be short enough to cover any calibers you would use the plastic small wheels for (6mms and 300blk). This means my aluminum "standard" wheel would cover what the SSM, standard, and small case kit does from annealeez. I'll know more as I test and get temp readings. 2 wheel kits to cover all uses would be ideal. I get back home the weekend before Thanksgiving. I'll do final stress/temperature testing that week and provided everything goes well and any jigs are made and ready for production runs... I will start accepting orders/funds and shipping them out the week following Thanksgiving. I will continue to keep everyone updated here. Thanks again for all the feedback and interest! -Caleb [/QUOTE]
