You start by buying or making your jackets, they look like a tube with one end closed. Then you buy rolls of pure lead wire to make cores, or you can cast your own cores out of pure lead. Next you need a press and for any ***** bullet of a bigger diameter/length, you need a "swage" press.

When it comes to bullets, you "swage" something bigger, and you "draw" it down to make it smaller.

It's a spl. press that creates HIGH pressures but has a short stroke, and then you also need the swage dies for the press, to seat the core in the jacket, then swage the core/jacket UP to the desired diameter and to the desired tip you want.

That is a very simplified explanation of how it all works and I can answer any specific questions anyone may have about bullet swaging.

BTW, I hope everyone knows I was BSing about there being lead in those rounds! lol

Thanks, I've just been buying bullets so far.. for about 25 years...

In another life, I designed and swaged bonded core bullets for sale, I still have the tools but not the interest... Like I said, that was in another life!

So today, I decided to clean out more of the area I split wood in, here's todays project,

You can see there is a half blown over (still alive) tree in there, it's a Norway Spruce, actually there two in there. SO, I hooked my winch line on, and cut limbs, pulled a little and cut more limbs,

Until I got it out, then using the pallet forks and grapple, I picked up all the limbs and the second tree,

and moved it all to a brush pile. Next I pushed one fork of my pallet forks, under the stump and ripped it out,

and moved it to the brush pile too. For what ever was left, the Woods Brush Bull took care of that!

Including the stump from the smaller tree,

So, I have at least one small log for the BSM, and as I needed a few 2x4's to finish a firewood box, it took care of two problems at once!

It’s probably more like a 2-2.5 cord. The truck bed is 10 foot plus they’re sticking off a couple feet. The first load without the tractor behind it is sticking off more and loaded higher. I’m guessing about 7 tons on the first load and 5-6 on the second. The M59 is around 10,000 ( loaded tires ) and the trailer is 5500 and the truck is 11,500 empty. Yea it’s a big load for a 366 gas burner. Here’s another load on it. It’s a strong old truck. View attachment 658329

At how much weight do you estimate the excavator, 1,2000? Isn't that an odd size gas engine? My guess is 8 mi/gal when hauling your equipment.

A little from yesterday the stand is around 30 years old running a piece of 37 export, a piece of domestic ranging from about 21 to 41 and a piece of pulp or all pulp.

Looks like your over in Europe cutting 2x4s and bio-mass to me.

18,500 for the excavator. A 366 is a 6.0. 8 mpg I wish. Try 4.

Nah that’s pulp got to love an old snow break on a ridge, amazing the size of that stand on a good site. What you guys send for pulp and what we can send are completely different things, basically if it can go through a debarker and chipper it’s pulp.
