Well, I looked on the net and found a used reloading press for you - Williams and White 4 post hydraulic. If you want, there's a kit to turn it into a progressive...
Here's a little better one that's already set up as a progressive. It's a Dillon Model 5,500,000 B.
And it comes with a set of dies.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
I am acquainted with an old fella who lives out of Jordan, Montana who seriously wants to kill an antelope with his cannon. His cannon is mounted in the bed of his pickup. He backs the pickup up to the herd, takes aim and BAM!!!!
His "bullets" are pop cans full of concrete. Pretty low on ballistic coefficient, but powerful high on energy.
So far, he's not gotten a goat with his cannon, but it hasn't been for lack of trying.
I have full confidence that he'll kill one of the sumbitches (as he calls them) before he dies.
Ya gotta kinda admire persistance and the pursuit of the impossible dream. Killing a stinking goat with a concrete-filled pop can ranks right freakin' up there.

I bet it would be a real scorcher if it was necked down to .22 cal....what velocity do you suppose it would have?
C'mon man.....where have you been?!?! If it's not 17, it's old school....

That's a great little story. Thanks for telling it. I'm glad there's someone out there like that.......I think.

I'd say that's the largest 10 cylinder engine I've ever seen. No clue what it powers, but the torque output has got to be veddy impressive!

Can you imagine being at the range and the guy on the bench next to you has one of these, in semi-auto! The flying brass would put you in the hospital.
Karma and Trouble have busses, and there's always an empty seat.
I hate to be droll but I did this one years ago already, lost interest because case life is not all it should be, maybe an Ackley Improved version with VLD bullets and match primers and a gain twist barrel with real cut rifling and a pillar bed job on a PROPERLY blue printed recoiless action mounted to a well mantained tracked vehicle and using non-canister powders avilable only in certain Tibetan temples ....... well nevermind it's probably already been done too.
Don't want to veer the thread off course but for those interested, yes, the pictures are of a diesel engine used to power large container vessels. Here's the web page with specs and a few more pics.
