A "little" rant about problems I encountered making 77 grainers (Part 16)

in swage •  7 years ago 


The 77 gn have been a bit of a pain, so I ended up making a long-winded video about my struggles with getting them "right".
►Looking at the samples, the good ones here look just as good, so maybe I'm being more of a perfectionist that I need to be, but not by much. I guess they don't come out quite as nice as bullets made from 22lr.

►I'm using a BT Sniper Deluxe kit for swaging .224 flat base and rebated boat tail bullets (a one-off custom order RBT kit).
