First I had this one made up...pretty big but it worked OK.

Then I got this idea in my head and drew up design and sent it off to Kenjuudo in Indiana, he came through making the top box spring affair.
It set's at-top my custom made swaging die in .432 diameter...but have two other swaging die bodies just like it in .430 and .454 dia.
The ejector tips on the rising rod stems are a screw on & off affair, that way the top box spring apparatus is interchangeable with all my lower units by merely changing out the ejector tips.

Still in the process of sizing and shaping different type of cast bullets, and so far everything is coming up roses...it is working great.
The nice thing about this device you pull the handle, the bullet goes up into the swage die, the spring pushes the bullet out of the die back on top of the nose punch as soon as you put the handle lever back in the up position.
Thanks to Kenjuudo this idea has become a reality.
