    SAS swage dies

    I just picked up a 429 SAS swage die from another member here and hope to try it out soon. I need to brace my bench up a lil bit first. I was wondering what experience people have had with this type of die. I haven't decided what to use for a jacket but i'm wondering if a 9mm case would work well enough. I am also keeping an eye out for more of these dies I really like the idea.

    For a .429" diameter slug you would be much better off starting with a 40 short and worthless (40 S&W ) 9MM is better suited to 357"

    40SW case swaged for .429 is too easy to ignore, not worth messing with the 9mm which starts at 0.390, 9mm swaged to 40SW/10mm is a good fit however
