I wonder if one could "cheat" using modern materials by machining insert for close sliding fit on base band...and drilling/ boring remaining die I.D. oversize..like .062" or so, and using an easy flowing epoxy injected between die and release agent coated bullet?  I use this trick when form fitting nose punches for seating and sizing die nose punches.  The stuffcan be drilled and machined after hardening and there should be no real wear.

OOPS!  This heat wave has fried my brain...forgot about grease grooves and epoxy.  I suppose you could use a very hard wax to fill grooves.

Interesting thought, 22-5-40.  It won’t get high stress, so it might work, but the grease grooves in the bullet would have to be totally filled in(with release agent?) to get that first bullet back out.  Of course CD was horrified when John Mertz made an insert out of delrin. SACRILEGE!  Roll Eyes
I’m just happy to go with a “modern metal” like aluminum.  Wink

It’s home!  I’d forgotten how tiny it looks when compared to the Dell type I’ve used since I started in Schuetzen. Thanks again to everyone for your help, suggestions and info.
