Hello all, I have been lurking on this part of the forum for a while and decided to try swaging. I am a poor boy so I started looking at what I had around the place for some FL sizing dies that might work, watched a little U-tube and deducted what I had that would give me the sizes that I wanted. So here are the first bullets I made. For 10mm/.40 s&w
Attachment 167717Attachment 167716 They were made in two steps with two dies, first a 30-30 FL die and then a 270 FL die to make the shoulders the right angle. They are .401 and they turned out at 180 gr. It did not take any where near as long as I thought it would and I think they turned out pretty good. They shot as well as my factory made 180 gr jacketed bullets, and it was fun just to see if I could do it with just what old dies I had around the reloading room.
