I can find a couple swaging videos here or there on the web. I can make one myself of using Corbin R dies to make .22 cal. projectiles.

I am however real curious as to when some of the die makers are going to make a video of their dies and how to use them? Are they out there?

That is right BT, Dan, Coltac and other makers! I am bored. Can we have something to watch? I have seen some of BT's (I think).

BT maybe one on the Custom BTSniper 40 cal One Step Die.

Dan any of the little tinkerings you always have on your mind but obviously your Kaine Dies.

Coltac. I am very interested in the .308 Edge Dies. Any plans for vids of those?

Haven't made any videos in a while. I think I have 4 or 5 videos in my photobucket account, few more hidden on the computer here somewhere. I have been thinking about it though and will see what comes up. Problem I have is the time it takes to get everything loaded, edited and posted on line when it comes to videos. Sure it should be easy and I'll see what I can come up with. Heck it took me 2 hours last night to shoot, post and edit just the latest 22 cal pics. Finished up after 2am.

Last video I put together, and was one of my first attempts on a you tube post, was 15 minutes and like 45 seconds long. It rejected my video because there is a 15 or 10 minute cut off. After spending half the day trying to get that little video online..... well I had to get back to work. Only so much time a tech challanged guy like me can devote while there is orders to be filled. Granted I learned I got to make shorter videos.

I'll see what turns up.

Good shooting and Swage On!

Found all my videos in my photo bucket account. Most of these videos are now 2 years old and my dies, techniques, and quality have improved since then even with these very good results. I probably have posted these videos in various places on this sight but it will be good to have them all here in one thread I guess.

Anyone interested can feel free to check out all the pics and videos on my Photo bucket page. Got 676 pictures there to keep you all busy.

Here is the videos I could find.

2 minute 30 cal point forming video

10 minute video on use of notch die and quick 44 cal one step formation of bullets. It was cut off at ten minutes but it was only extra footage at the end of the video I had added. Seems photo bucket only allows ten minutes at a time.

Video that started it all, the 40 cal one step posted nearly three years ago now.

Friend of mine shooting my 44AMP with my custom 44 cal bullets from 40 S&W. This was nearly 4 years ago now.

That's all I got for now. Enjoy. I do plan to make a series of short (under two minute) videos on the use of my 22 cal dies. But again it all takes time and orders still need to be filled.

Good shooting and Swage On!
