That is a very nice fixture for sure. 12 years ago when we were struggling with getting a proper fit on bullets, such as those in the picture, you would have been the envy of every member who was shooting smokeless muzzleloaders with sabots.............today? Not so much! The fact that most are no longer shooting with sabots and we have adjustable dies which can size our bullets to the right diameter. Appreciate your showing that nice set up!

Good thought went into that. Beats rolling them between bastard files like I do on occasion.

Nice fixture! It would be nice to have one just in case I would need one in the future.

That's one great fixture, mshm99!! Prior to retiring, I also made one working on the same principle, but I like yours much better. Great thinking on spring tension adjustment! Yours makes me wish I could now go back to the factory and make another.
Mine was made for knurling .451, .452 bullets close to .458 and then full forming. Got full forming dies back when they were all the rage. This system works very well for me, especially with solid coppers.

That looks NICE! My daughter is shooting sabots I might have to try replicating that. Great idea! Thanks for sharing
