An affordable way to get into swaging?

[texaswoodworker]

I've been curious about swaging for awhile now, but the cost of a die set has kept me away. I'm sure they would eventually pay for themselves, but $300-$400 is a heck of an initial investment. Is there a cheap way to get into swaging? How hard would it be to make a set of dies? I'd like to have a set for some of my guns with oversized bores that are impossible to find jacketed bullets for.
