Gunshow today and I am now set up to swage bullets

I ran into a fellow who needed money. I'm now set up to swage jacketed bullets from .22 to .45

I had no idea one could make their own jacketed bullets. Pretty cool!

Making the jacketed bullets is easy Don. I've been doing it for years on a Herters reloading press just using a sizing die.
Store bought jackets are expensive though.

For .44 (429) I use range salvaged .40 cases as the jackets.

The advantage to the new press is the dies allow me to reform the bullet nose more easily.

You can also use copper tube for jackets.

These are great for folks who cast their own lead.  You can uniform the diameter and lube the bullet in one operation.  Nice to get all the sizing dies with this purchase!  I only have one for .45acp.
