Yeap, its a copy of their press, with some modifications for my needs.
Their press has gone from $1100 to $1300 now.

Tried to do 9mm on this.
I think its too BIG or the 9mm cases are too short.   :grrr:

Wow nice press, both Noscade and I reload 50 Bmg using both Lee and RCBS production presses.
Take some effort to resize Lake City brass. Most work is priming cases.
We both shoot Barrett M82. Would like a 20mm just to much work and cost to get brass and projos. Beside rifle or cannon. Lol
What 50 bmg or 20mm do you shoot?
Good luck & thanks for sharing.
Thanks

I shoot 510DTC which is kokohead legal on a AR platform . Lots of force is required to case neck the 50bmg to 50dtc.
which was the reason i built this press.


Still looking for a future 20mm at an affordable  price. they are still in The $15-$20k region. hopefully find a used one at a gun show on the mainland .

Right on, our Buddy also shoots the 510 DTC on a EDM platform. Awesome gun, so much limitations at Kokohead pretty much killed our interest with shooting our long range guns there. Hope things can change and move in better direction in the future.
Thanks again Bro look forward to seeing your 20mm project.
Aloha!

Hi Suka,
Used to get primers for BMG @ YG.
Back then think it was .40 a pop.
Just wanted to let you know about case head problems with IMI brass.
Figure mostly reload LC or Hornady match (WCC).
Would hate for you to go through all the work resizing and fire forming and have problems later.
Bought a lot of stuff, thinking they were going to ban 50 bmg.  Had to have at least 1000 rnds on hand. Love to shoot with it on neighbor islands. Hunted Lanai & Big Island SOOO much fun... >:D
Take care and PM if you in town.
Mahalo

bought a whole bunch (1000pcs) of S African pulled heads at a great price with free shipping.

Some brass are from Mr. Kubota in Cali and few hundred casing of LC mil surplus out of mostly M2s.

also , Cabalas had a sale on 50 Federal Eagles a few years back. they were $24.99 box of ten. plus free shipping!
Not sure if it was a typo or super steal , but it jumped up to $35 bucks the following week.

Glad I got 10 boxes. Still need to pull them and fire-form the brass.

Locally 50 BMG components can be expensive. Stock may have been sitting for years. Bought a lot of heads from midway think it was
$ .65 for Winchester 660 gr ball. Free shipping too. Got delivered to my neighbors house by mistake. Yikes...Lol
Just happy Carter took care of the boyz. Reason stop reloading BMG. Joke is shooting my 338 Laupa is more expensive than BMG. Go figure...? Favorite Cal is 375H&H.
Thanks Bro and keep us posted on your projects. Would die to see a 20mm here. Waiting for X ring to open range. Want to vid my daughter shooting the M82. Send it to her boy friend. Lol
