HCT-3 lead grooving tool puts two .080-wide grooves at
a time on lead bullets. You can roll two, then overlap one
groove and roll a third one, or offset the bullet and roll
two more. Using this procedure you can roll any number of
grooves on a bullet shank.
The HCT-3 frame and roller V-way is the same as the HCT-1
cannelure tool. If you wish, you can remove the crank and
embossing wheel, and change it with an optional, extra .050-wide jacketed
bullet cannelure wheel. Some disassembly and reassembly is
required to do this, so if you need both functions very often, it is
best to get both tools.
The depth of grooves and position is accurately adjustable
with positive stops. The same tool can handle from .172 to
.720 diameter bullets, and adjusts to fit the bullet.
NOTES
* Note 1
The HCT-1W wheel is the one from the HCT-1 cannelure tool. You
can convert the HCT-3 grooving tool to a cannelure tool
by removing the original 2 groove HCT-3W embossing wheel, and
replacing it with this HCT-1W wheel. It isn't convenient
to do this every time you wish to change from jacketed to
lead bullets, though, and would be faster just to own
both kinds of complete tools. However, if you don't mind
the change-over time, it is certainly a lower cost way to
go!
* Note 2
The tool comes with a HCT-3W 2-groove embossing wheel
installed. If you use the tool as recommended for soft
lead bullet grooving, the wheel should last a very long
time. But if you try using very hard lead or jacketed bullets
or solid copper, even just briefly, the force required to
emboss the harder materials will probably peen over the
knurls on the embossing wheel. It is NOT designed for
jacketed or hard metal bullets, but for putting grooves
on soft lead bullets for lubrication. Having a spare
wheel means if someone ruins the first one, you can quickly
get back in business.
