I know this has been asked before, but I just have to hear it again.
Still a little confused with it.
Looking for a real simple answer.
What is the differance between swagging and sizing????

Sizing is pushing a bullet through a die to reduce the bullets diameter.

Swaging is pressing a lead core into the shape of a bullet. This can be just a lead bullet for paper patching. One can also make copper jacketed bullets with the proper swaging dies.
