9 to 40 swaging accuracy?

[beex215]

ive been searching but i didnt see any pictures of accuracy testing on these swaged bullets. ive seen the rifle calibers but that might be for another time. ive been shooting cast for the longest and still have leading problems from time to time and really want to get into swaging. what size groupings are you guys getting?

I've never used a rest shooting mine but they seem just as accurate as any commercial bullet I've fired. I'm confident that I can keep all 13 rounds from my G23 on a 12" plate from 25 meters (82 feet) if I just used the bench to steady myself.

For me, it wasn't about reducing leading. Heck, I didn't really have any leading anyways.

For me it was about being able to make my own tactical .40's, virtually equivalent to any Hornady/Speer, etc......... I'll never worry about not having tactical bullets for my 40's.

you are only gonna get out of them what you put into them.
sloppy cores and skipping steps and mixing things up will produce bad results.
the quality of the tools will make a big difference in your outcome also.

Duke I had to look for a birth mark on the article when I read you could get a set of .224 dies for $200 to $300....I could only hope for those days! :wink: :-)

When you could buy a new car for $5500.

Yup, I remember telling someone that they were CRAZY for paying $15,000 for a new Cadillac in the early 80's.
