Has anyone did it?

Thoughts about doing it?

I would think it's very doable since the standard cast press is used for swaging, surely this thing would be even more capable...since it's much larger and heavier....but I don't know for sure.

IS their 50 BMG press anything more then just their standard Classic cast press? I know they addvertise the Classic for loading the 50 but not sure if they offer a bigger one. I'll have to check.

As for swaging lots of us using the classic and it can still be founf for $74!!

It seems larger but I'm not sure if it really is or not, that is what I was trying to find out . Thought someone here may know.

It's the same press. From the looks of the kit you remove the die insert and change the ram adapter to accommodate the larger cases.

Thanks!

That's what I needed to know.
