helpful links to swaging

I Have spent a lot of time searcing the web in the past for knowledge about swaging.

How about a thread dedicated to some info out there we have found that may be helpful in explaining the process of swaging. Either basic or addvanced in nature.

I was just checking some of my old threads and found this one I hade posted a while back and had forgot about. Seems pretty simple and straight foward.

BTT (bump to top) as I thought it might help some of you interested but not quite sure how this swaging works. It is really quite easy. All we do is manipulate the shape of some lead and brass with the use of some force.

Good shooting

BT

Another bump to top for those interested.

My hats off to these folks and there itty bitty bullets. Can't imagine messing with cores to make .17 or even 20 cal bullet.

Bump for those interested. Lots of good info for those that have questions.

BT, I have learned more about the process of Swaging here than anywhere else. But you might like to add the Corbin site ( I can't remember which one, but one has a bit of info on it).

This needs to be a sticky

I SECOND the sticky...

http://www.corbins.com/index.htm

Here is one of corbins pages. His sight can be a bit confusing but YES, a welth of info there too.

BT

Maybe we should add to this thread with custom swaged bullet manufactures we know of out there selling custom bullets. No intention to buy on my part but it is funn to look at what others are selling. I'll have to look around a bit but Hawk bullets and a few others come to mind.

Alot of the sights mentioned above don't seem to see a lot of activity. Still the best sight around I think for anything you need to know is right here :)

I don't know about sticky potential yet????? but I'll bump it up every once in a while when somone inquires about lack of info.

To anyone else that happens upon a bit of usfull info on swaging please do post a link for us to check out.

Good shooting and Swage On!

Confusing is an understatement!

I am sure he makes fantastic products but I can't make any sense at all from his site.

Moved to here.

http://mountainpreparedness.blogspot...skill-for.html

There is a bulletmaking section at: www.smallcaliberclub.com I think a couple of the fellows from this board have posted there.

Also: www.hgfirearms.com sells bullets, swaging gear, and has started adding some how to info.

And I didn't see Richard Corbin listed www.rceco.com His "book" has some pretty usefull info in it.

Hope this helps some

Are you looking for links on making jackets or where to buy them?

Bpth. CenterX is the only place I know to buy them, there has to be more.

Dave Corbin has them listed on his site. I don't know any more about them other then they are listed there.
