Hi Guys,

Thanks to reading on this forum I tried something new to me.

For a first swaging project I tried using 40 S&W brass for 45 ACP 220 Gr. JRN
I picked-up a small Corbin press some years ago but never used it.
The dies are home made. I made them to do one step at a time so I could fix one if I needed to.

The first go around at the range today went very well.
Fired 30 rounds with all working as they should.
Factory speeds and as accurate as I can shoot.

I'll do a set for 44 Cal. so I can use a firearm that is capable of much better accuracy to see any difference in factory to home made bullets.

What a money saver the project is going to be.

Thanks again guys!
