DIY turret press

[Bareback]

Since the last post work has really started to pick up which has cut into the fun time. I am nearing an end if that is possible. Since the last post I’ve finished the shaft and made the case holders.

The original handle was going to be an issue so a quick an easy modification was in order. Cut, grind and weld.

Currently the press is finished and full functioning. I’ve decapped a 100 rounds and did some shoulder bumping just for testing purpopses.

The only hold up at this point is with the die set. It’s a Redding competition bushing neck sizing die which I really like.  At the time of purchase I didn’t realize a neck bushing set would be required. I’m not real hot on the idea of buying the set Redding offers so I decided to make my own. Might as well make some sizing buttons too. The Material is D2 which will get heat treated. It’s a pretty cool material, during the heat treat process it grows micro carbides. When finished and polished it will be slick as glass.
