Thormolds, anyone swaging with them?

And for Thor, if I actually got a .2180 die, I would still be using it and not bought another setup. Lesson learned.

The NOE should do you well then. You may find that going slightly smaller than .305 will work the best. Take a .304 and carefully polish it up to .3045

Thanks again for the idea of resizing. Now if I do get another press I know exactly what size I'll need to order the die made in.

Any new information on Thormolds?

And for the record. The heavy flashing on the slugs turned me away, not resizing. I could live with that part.

I may get new punches made at some point.

I saw in one of your comments you said the punch and die were different sizes which caused the flashing. That sucks, fortunately I don't have a problem with that. I just cut my blanks 2gn heavier than the slug and no problem with flashing. Initially my blanks were four or five grains heavier than the slug I was making and I did have some flashing

That's definitely a plus for you when resizing. Bases have to be square.
