Just an update,the HP idea(from buggered Lee mould thread),came to fruition yesterday.Call it the 1.0 version.
Changing lanes for a moment...
If you look at a SC (socket cap,Allen head) sometime,you'll easily see leftover material shaved,in the broaching process used in their manufacture.Will say Torx fastener's are broached as well.
So,semantics' aside...
You can call'm swaged,or you can call them broached,whatever.Taking a Luepold scope ring,supplied little wrench(got a bunch)...and zip wheeling off the short side creates a beautiful cheap little T15 broach.Very quickly machined the fixture to hold bullets for using a very small centering drill to spot a hole.Switch to the Loopy T15 tool,voila....comes out perfect.
Put it this way.....
Look at a Gold Dot,Silvertip,or Hydra Shok(although these have a pin)....from a sharp HD perspective on how well their swaging process leaves the tips....compared to the above T15 7mm Lee,broach is like comparing a box of crayola's to our Iwata "pro" airbrushes.That's how bloom'n sharp the definition is on these 7mm varmint HP bullets are.
Version 2.0 is in R&D and is going in a slight tangent.We need to research on certain"match grade" JB's....so,stay tuned.
***Note: These are VARMINT bullets.They are for exploding,total fragmentation with no exit.Anyone with a 7mm CB,in hand....hold a Luepold T15 wrench up to the nose.You're gonna see it.Each one of those "ribs",gets shoved into the nose,PERFECTLY.The T15 size will work for 7 and .30.Smaller/larger cals requires different size Torx.BW
