    Happy to host it.

    Good info in all of the articles. It's already made my own swaged bullets even better.

    The best tip of the lot was the fussiness of making the swaged cores. I now understand why, and am making much better cores than I ever did.

    I can't believe I've been looking for almost a week on the internet for just the
    first article & it's been here all the time!

    Thanks Duke for posting all four articles

    Don't mean to derail this thread, but you mentioned that your swaging was getting
    better results. Did you machine the dies you are using and the articles helped make better
    dies or the articles helped in the process of making cores?
