    Is this Swaging Equipment?

    Found this in a corner of a storage building owned by a serious reloader and caster. I can't find anything on line for the company and model number on the data plate. Can anyone identify it?

    I used to shoot Alberts swaged pistol bullets, typically straight sided and tumble lubed. I think they morphed into Taurus Bullets.

    That looks like a hydraulic setup for swage.

    It looks like those are air filters /oilers on top. Could it be an air sizing or swaging system?

    Seems to be mostly pressure air operated .....the slotted cans are likely air discharge mufflers ...........id say thats part of a casting machine,not a complete one.

    These men and their hypnotized followers call this a new order. It is not new. It is not order.
