Hi, I am new to swaging. I have a 458 Socom for deer hunting and I would like to start making my own bullets for it. With the current lack of high BC bullet for this load I want to venture into making my own HP or Soft point BT bullets using annealed pennies as jackets. My problem, I've never swaged bullets before. I know that I am perfectly capable provided I can get a little direction. Has anybody ever used pennies as jacket material before? If one were to design their own bullet, how would I get dies etc for swaging it?
Thanks
