    9mm (.355)

    I am happy to announce I will now be offering 9mm swage dies. I should have the necessary reamer in 4-6 weeks with dies soon to follow after that.

    I am taking orders at this time. Stay tuned for more details about the possiblites of making great 9mm bullets from scrap brass!

    I'm totally interested in your 9mm set! Have an estimated cost?

    It will be the same as the rest of my 2 die pistol caliber sets at $495 +$20 S&H

    Addition costs may include a couple draw dies needed if one wishes to reduce a piece brass to use for a jacket.

    Will defer to your advice, Brian, for best donor brass for this.

    I'm in line for your .224 dies. When I pay the balance on those I'll order these 9mm. I'm very new to swaging and from what I've read, I'm guessing I should start collecting 380 brass for the 9mm dies?

    380 brass, 9mm and 223 all make great 9mm bullets.

    I will be very interested in purchasing this as well when it comes on line!I have been collecting brass as I find it ever since OBAMA came off as the winner the first time and as I had no need for .380 just keep putting it in a bucket. Never could figure out what I would do with it. I have just weight counted and it appears that I have in the area of about 5,000 rounds. Guess it worked in my favor this time!

    Quiete long time I tried some swage dies to make perfect RN 9mm in 124 grain like cast ...But none is satisfied
    I honestly want to see yours, such as shape , weight , performance etc..

    I could stand a die set to make jackets from tubing for 9mm/38/357.

    any word on these?
    will you need to trim the length of a 380 case to use one as a jacket ?

    Boy was I way off! I just sent plans to reamer shop today for the necessary reamers to make the 9mm dies with. It will be a nice set of dies for sure. NOW it will take about 4 weeks to get the reamers and then time needed to machine and heat treat dies.

    I would love to ship you a few 9mm-124gr bullets that just seem to have the perfect ogive and will chamber at 1.16" on any gun that I have tried them in. That would be an awesome bullet to be able to make using old brass

    Any update on the 9mm die set? I'm interested. Want my first foray into swaging to be 9mm. Sounded like your reamers were supposed to come in recently.

    Yep got the reamers. Even got some 9mm core seat dies already nitride processed. I simply have to machine the point form dies and get them hardened and nitride processed in next shipment.

    I machined 8 point form dies that I'll be sending into be heat treated and nitride processed. Initial results look good. I'll be sure to post some pics of the bullets as soon as I get the dies back.
