[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 710317, member: 17844"] I found that the old Lyman dies were quite soft and far easier to drill than some others . The first ones I made by hand using a new high speed steel cobalt drill . I drilled from inside the die outward so it minimised any burr at the shoulder / neck junction of the die not the case . Tried different ways to lapp the edge of the shoulder / neck junction with varying success . Wrecked a few dies but in the end got a few that worked ok . I like to think I invented the body die but I am fully aware that many others would have faced the same reloading problems and came up with the same solutions . Now I have met one . A man can have his dreams can he not ? [/QUOTE]
