    Me, Me, Me, I volunteer for beta testing. Dang those look good. And here I thought .223 and .45 was going to be my final goal in life. Ya'll need to cut it out or I'm going to be dirt poor and won't be able to buy powder to go with the metal marvels I'm seeing. Here I scrimped and saved for lo these many months to order the 40 to 45 dies to go with my 22lr to .224. My Rifle table is just about to cost me almost as much as my entire safe's contents. Take pity on a poor struggling wanna'be swager. Stop making things better.....................................LOL

    Hey! I ***WAS*** the class nerd eyeballing the prom queen.................

    I'm not shooting any of my 308's in competition, and most of my swaged 308;s will be shot in a blackout gun, so not needing the reduced drag that the boat tail provides.

    All I need it time....... got the tools, even got the dies....... currently have some personal boat tail dies I want to play with in 22 (6 & 9s ogive), 6mm (6 & 8s), 6.5mm (7.5s) , 308 (6.5s and 10s), and 338 (6s). When I catch up with work I'll have some more details to post. Just need to make sure these are all going to be up to my quality checks then figure out just how much additional labor will be involved before I have some to offer.

    It's been in the works for a long time. Just haven't had much free time for R&D work latly. As soon as I get caught up on my back orders and get a free minute or two I'll have some fun with these new dies.

    Well shoot, just when I thought I was at a good point to coast and just enjoy this new casting hobby, you go and do this. Now I need to find some swaging how tos and start saving for a set of these...and a press...and whatever else I need.
