[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 760157, member: 17844"] Thanks for the thought mate. The problem with buying secondhand dies is they have usually lost the critical match between the core seater and the point former and that makes for hard ejecting dies . To the naked eye they look perfect though. If and when I decide to start making rebated boat tail bullets I will make the dies and punches I need as they are basically an add on to an existing set . Expensive to buy a whole new set but not so expensive to just make the two modified core seater's and a new rebated point forming punch. The work is not in the dies themselves it's in making the tooling to cut them and getting it precise . I only like to take on one disaster at a time . The Vortex scope is hard to come by at the moment as they are very popular . Postage from NZ might make those bullets a bit expensive . The batch I am using now cost me about $80 for a thousand because the 6.5 jackets were so cheap to start with. [/QUOTE]
