Photos ?

[40-82 hiker]

I have stated previously that I am a lurker on "Swaging". Even giving away brass for jackets to you all (will give more away as I find it). Boolits do all I need, but you Swagers really do some interesting stuff. However, I have one complaint :roll: I need to bring to your attention:

I NEED MORE PORN! Lots of porn. Full frontal, top, bottom, dies, etc. Presses!

Target porn! How good are your swaged bullets (or are they still called boolits ?)?

I love those porn only threads.

Seriously, I admire what you all do, but I'll never have the $$ to do it. Don't need them, as my target loads are all I shoot (I've seen bees out race my boolits to the target). That's okay. Just letting you all know I enjoy lurking on your site, and am fascinated with what you do to make your bullets.

Many nights I can't sleep due to medical issues, and look up the "Swaging" section to pass the time.

So please: When you post, keep in mind MORE PORN. :mrgreen:

I hope you did not mind this tongue-in-cheek post. Just saying "pretty cool"...

Thanks,
Bob

Im still learning but the results look good enough to me. Im using .580 RCE jackets and a pure lead lee 401-175 -tc to get a 204-207gr bullet.

This first photo was borrowed from BT ...all of 5 years ago...it's a classic crosscut and a recovered.

Thanks guys. Greatly appreciated.

That also answers another question I had: I'll pick up Blazer casings in the future as well to get to you all.

No, I had never seen the crosscut photos before. Also, really nice looking boolits, and thanks again.

I guess I led a sheltered life, for up to my first time on CB I had never even heard of anyone swaging their own.

Glad you all saw the humor, request, and appreciation in my post. Or at least humored me... :awesome:

Still learning a bunch on the swaging subject, but here are two styles of 40 cal from 9mm cases. One on the left has a rolled top at the hollow point.

Every picture I have ever posted here can be viewed on my photobucket account. At least I think others can view all 1400+ photos there? Let me know. There is over 5 years worth of pictures documenting my swaging journey.

Swage on!

Thanks Brian! I think we've got a winner here everyone!! I think I'm good to go for many sleepless nights. I guarantee I will see every single one of those photos before I give up. What a porn site...

Also, thanks to all others. Thanks for the photo of the .22s ICH.

Andyt53: now I know what you'll be making when I get those 9mms to you. Nice bullets!

On long nights CB has been a great diversion, and now this!!!!

Math, those are almost to pretty to shoot.

[andyt53]

How are you guys getting your swaged projectiles so shiney after swaging? Mine start shiney then dull out.

[MrWolf]

Math, they are impressive!

[math]

Thanks for the kind remarks ! I finaly gave in to temptation and bought a STM setup for wet tumbling with stainless media and some citric acids, that really makes them shine :)
