    Looking for Custom Swaging dies

    Howdy all. I am in a machining school and decided to build the Swaging press that is in the permanent posts. I shoot PCP airguns and would like to swage my own .25 and .45 cal. Lead boolits. Is there anybody that makes custom dies, as I am not yet schooled enough to take on anything like that yet. I have a couple of boolits samples and drawings. I saw that Corbin makes airgun projectile dies, but they are nothing like what I am after. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Tom

    Not in the swaging realm, but CASTING REALM:noebulletmolds.com. They carry a whole bunch of air gun related bullet molds and drawings that may help.

    Thanks. I already have 2 of NOE's molds for my .25.

    What sort of projectile are you hoping to swage?

    I have been fooling around the fringe of making swage dies but only made a few punches and modified some reloading dies so far.

    My goal is to feed a .25 marauder.

    D-Rig is swaging .25 cal with corbin dies, they shoot pretty good.

    I have a die from Dave Corbin to swage my 25 cal "bullets" for my marauder. They work very well and let me shoot nickle size groups at 25 yds.
