Thanks for posting that. Interesting article. I know I have heard of "Rorschach" bullet making dies. What is some more background on Don Rorschach?

New to swaging, in fact haven't purposely formed a bullet yet.:D I have sets of dies awaiting delivery. I am just curious about history.

Don was one of the top die makers that lived. Most well known for his 7s ogive carbide 22 cal. die set. It was said that most meassuring devices could not find flaws in his meassurement. Accurate to something like .0005 or better. Unfortunately he does not make dies anymore.

You should also read the rest of the set of the articles for the full flavor of how to make better swaged bullets!
