Reswaging .380 FMJ

[Dan Cash]

Can .355 90 grain FMJ bullets be successfully re squeezed to .312 or so?

C-H recommends sizing down no more than .004". But it looks to be possible. Seems like I read in one of Corbin's books that after such and such a reduction it was hard to avoid jacket damage. I'll see if I can't find that book...

Bullet Sizing Dies

With our bullet sizing dies, you can size a bullet down a few thousandths or use a series of dies to really shrink it down. They work best if you step the bullet down .004" at a time. Available in any diameter, but they are made as needed so please allow 8-12 weeks for delivery. Price is for any diameter that will fit on a 7/8-14 die. Please call for quote on anything larger.
