Does this diameter have any use for swageing bullets? I got 38# of it that I would rather sell to someone who could use it insted of melting it down. JerryW

Sure, for pistol calibers like 9mm (might be a shoe-horn job), definitely for: 40cal, 44cal, 45cal

Might not be much use to a rifle bullet swager.

I have used it in the past for .44 caliber bullets. I would use it more often if it weren't prohibitively expensive from most suppliers.

Dang - I could just cut that to length and load it in 7.62x39 or .303 Brit!

That'd be one hard hitting wadcutter! Powder coating might be in order.

Could run it through my luber/sizer - but just imagine being able to try every conceivable bullet weight - say 50 grains up to 300 grains - with any number of powder loads - just for fun! It would work for Mosins and 7.7 Arisakas too!
