Been reading up on it a good bit lately and watching videos. Was wondering if anyone on here swages or casts their own bullets. If so, was gunna see if I could watch/help sometime. I'm looking to get into this but like to see/do stuff hands on first. I'll bring beer and lead.

My brother casts all his own bullets. Swaging is something very uncommon and it's unlikely you'll find someone who does that on the board."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

My grandfather used to swage jackets and fill the core with lead for 30-06 back in the late 70's 180gr bullets I believe. I still have a few of the tools used but most got stole when my parents were moving sadly."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"

I would love to have a swaging setup for .223. The dies are so damn expensive."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
