I have been researching, sending texts, making phone calls to builders about doing one. Once I get a couple of projects out of the way, I gonna get the ball rolling on one.

Update Have one on the way!!!! Look forward to hearing of your experience when the new arrival makes its debut. I don't respond a lot with calibers I'm not familiar with but I still enjoy the read. Ed |

I would like to hear more about these 35 caliber builds also. What loads, powders, bullet weights, and velocity, etc.

I'm thinking about getting some Fury .358 bullets to try.

I full form sized a Hornady 180 gr XTP yesterday. I had made no adjustment to the die from the previous owner. Once the rifling aligned it fell in a little ways, could still see the bullet. I took the ramrod and pushed it through with a very firm one hand. The full form die may need a little tweaking for a fouled barrel. I tried to full form a Barnes 140 XPB. I should have run it through the smooth form die first to make it easier. Lesson learned!!!!

.I tried to full form a Barnes 140 XPB. I should have run it through the smooth form die first to make it easier. Lesson learned!!!! Annealing the XPB's softens them up very nicely. I have annealed those for the S&W .460 and full formed them for my .451 barrel. Once annealed, they go right through. |

I have annealed those for the S&W .460 and full formed them for my .451 barrel. Once annealed, they go right through. I was experimenting without sizing them down before full forming. I now have a small arbor press I do my sizing on. It works much better for me either smooth or full form |
