Can you make a set to sell?
I can if needed!
A selection of setup and test 6mm's compared to a home made .224 in the centre.
Good to go now, the die set is complete!
Will finish the core cutter tomorrow!
I want one pm inbound.
Those sure do look like they make some pretty good projectiles.
"Consequently we move away from other shooters to remain focused on our passion, as our ideas are quickly dismissed or misunderstood by others. Sharing does not come easily for swagers, not because they are necessarily selfish, but because they have been whittling away in their only little world for so long, that being able to relate to others what they understand is no simple task."

How heavy are the 6mm bullets?
With an exposed lead tip, filled flush, a gnats over 68grain with the 22lr jacket.Originally Posted by MIBULLETS
Forgot the core cutter!
MKII
Took the set to my customer and gave instruction on how to use, man, he had a grin from ear to ear!

OK just to clear things up, I'm unlikely to make dies for shipping to the USA.
A few reasons, price, export license and shipping!
Thank you to all who asked but I think I'm inclined to just supply UK customers.
I will continue contribute to the swaging thread though.
Thank you for sharing this, that looks like silver steel made into a d bit of sorts, then torch hardened after machining. Is that about right marten? I need to start making swaging dies, so this sort of information is invaluable to me. Thanks again.onwards...
point form reamer
Pretty much it, single flute reamer! One thing to be wary of is the warping of the reamer when hardening. I use an Oxy-Acetylene torch with a small pepper pot to do the hardening and temper drawing.
I found that using my small kiln had some disadvantages for reamers but was necessary to do the die bodies.
Client back from Bisley having let some of his home swaged bullets loose, seems happy with 3 shot one hole groups @100yds! Looks like the bullets are working fine!
3 shot string, 1 hole group @ 100 yards...
Nice shooting Simon!
