Here's one of my first in a trial run of 10 pcs. Not perfect, but I'm stoked! Does anybody see anything glaringly wrong? The samples mic at.4525- .4530.

Very nice!!!!

You might consider getting them in the .451-.452 range if their for a 45acp, a home made draw die or a lee push thru sizing die will get them there.

Some swaged bullets loaded up with an unloaded one just below the top of the bottom mag in the picture. 225gr hp's for 40s&w cases.

I used a hard lead on those, wanted the hp nose on that bullet to frag instead of expand.

Keep on swaging you have some nice looking bullets.

What length do you trim the brass to? What do those weigh? They are some nice looking boolits.

Thankyou,
I trim them to .50/.510 & depending on the brass (r-p/fed/etc) around 65gr.
