Kurt, that looks good. What I was thinking of was a paper cutter where I could either drill and tap it so that I could put a stop on that would allow me to cut the strips to width and then attach another piece at an angle with index marks to cut the strips to length. Being able to print the right sizes out on a top sheet is a very good idea. I just don't have the ability to print things out on a one to one basis, I think. I will have to look into it. I do have a good cad program but setting the scale is not something I have really played with and not really sure how to do it.
I now have a milling machine. And that would make it very easy to to drill and tap the paper cutter to put stop plates on, I even have a strip of cheap aluminum that would work well for that purpose, just need to find a cutter that will support being drilled and taped or having inserts installed.
I did get an excelent deal on the mill, its a Grizzly G0704. I got it from a guy that was leaving the area, Its 4 years old and the worst thing he did to it was letting the table rust a bit. $1250 new and I got it for $450 with a vice and clamp kit. I cried about the price I had to pay for about a heart beat. He had one solid tool holder for it and a drill chuck that he destroyed. Not a big deal, I have a drill chuck on an R8 shank, so that is covered, a set of R8 collets cost me $44, I am good to go. I did get the vice he had, its only 4" wide but it will work, and I have a bunch of cutters and other stuff for a mill. I think I did ok. I have used it a little so far and it did just fine. I just need to get some lights set up and I can sling chips till the cows come home.
Fall has set in here in PA so I have a few months to figure out what mold I want, and to get things in place to venture into the world of PP bullets.
One question I do have about shooting PP bullets, if you are going to wipe between shots, do you need to have a lube wad of some sort, either just a lube wad or something like a felt wad soaked with lube?
