Hello,
Would this be usable for your swaging? I had it tested and it's pure lead. I only cast. I know where there's a bunch more if it will work in your projects. Happy Shooting. Boats

How much is a bunch more?
Can always alloy it with something for whatever you are shooting. Muzzleloader/Black Powder shooters like pure also, so could be trading material with them. Just saying don't limit your market

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? (Sgt. Oddball, KELLY'S HEROES)

I have a bunch of pure in ingots already. I figured it being in wire form it would usable for swaging. They were asking a dollar a pound for the stuff also.Originally Posted by chuckbuster
Dimension? Depends on caliber to swage (lead or jacketed) for.

If that is a typical packing tape spool, it looks like it would be good for .44 and up. Then again it might be too big for 44 and 45.
A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.
My calipers are telling me .376. That's the best I could do since the wire is bent.
Might work for swagers of large diameter lead boolits; but way too big for my .224, .30, and .38/.357/9mm swage efforts.

My core forming die for 44 is .370. That stuff would be just right for 44 and 45 and maybe 50.
