Maybe newbie swager

[MaxJon]

Hi all!
I know nothing about swaging and have never done it, but it has got my interest!
I shoot,cast and load for a 7.62 Mauser. I use a Rockchucker for loading and i load and cast the RCBS #82014, (180gr. FP). Any info on the "how to" swage process and or benefits to accuracy. Is it a matter of just buying a swage die for my Rockchucker and swaging my as cast pills or what???? I currently shoot em "as cast" but like all, i am chasing the best possible accuracy, while enjoying rolling my own!:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?
Thanks in advance!!!

This thread gives an overview of the dies - don't worry if you dont' understand immediately, it'll make sense after you see the second thread.

This thread http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=70121 is a good place to start - make sure you watch the video.

(I'm new to swaging myself (haven't done bullet 1 yet) but since the good folks here gave me these pointers, I thought I'd pass them on...

Take care,
