Waiting on .40 conversion kit for press and then I can start setup. Hoping to be ready for next weekend. Received my order for 9mm and .40 once fired brass from net&ss. Best customer service around. Great product and prices.

Looks like an economical round for most 30 calibers:

Perhaps not your ideal hunting round, but it would make for some fun plinking fodder.
If you need assistance rolling some 7.5x55mm, 7.62x51mm and/or 63mm, bring your bullets and brass down. Onsite range provided.
These would probably be good in an M1 Carbine, perhaps even in the 7.62x25mm...let's try some. I have .30 Carbine brass, but no M1 Carbine. I have a few rubber magazine covers, however.

BTW, this offer could apply to other calibers. Contact me and let me know what you seek; I may entertain sharing orders on other calibers, too. It never hurts to have a reserve of .264", .311", .355", 357/8", .451" diameter bullets.

I don't recall if I've posted these home-made bullets before, but they sure do a number on water-filled cans and even fly true at 100 meters (make holes cleaner than wadcutters)...

Don't recall how cleanly these printed, when I loaded some for my FR-7...

Never fired these .40 S&W filled with shot and wax (top two rounds, of course), since my Redhawk left a long time ago...
