Vickerman dies
« on: December 17, 2002, 09:06:18 AM »
Last night I tried out the new Vickerman BPCR die. It is designed for cast bullets and BPCR loading.  What a joy to use.  Easy, fast and almost no runout of loaded rounds.  It is the same as Vickermans that have been around for many years.  It's made by Bob at GMW.  He purchased the rights for Vickermans a couple of years ago and has just started making them.  He has a lot of calibers and parts will interchange with old dies.  For those that have never seen one, it has a window in the side and a sliding sleeve.  The case is put in the holder as usual and the bullet is placed in the window. As the case comes up, it is held straight by the sleeve and all moves up and onto the bullet which is also held straight.  There are photos on the bottom of the GMW page on castingstuff.com   I want one in 40 and 45 cal and Bob says he will make them.

Bob made me a custom sprue plate also-- think he has them in Lyman and now LBT configuration. For $15 worth every cent...

If you want to make your Lyman cast and fill out like it should-- just try one.
