A pound swage set I made when I got my mill-lathe combo back about 1998. The 2 Minie' bullets on the outside are the before, and the 2 inside ones are the result. Setup also works in a hydraulic bench press.

Great ideas! There's not much a man can't do with a mill a
lathe and some imagination. Looks to me like you're having
a lot of fun.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
Well, thank the Lord there are still some folks out there who know how to do-it-yourself. Met a young employee of a Wendy's on Friday. She asked me for the time, I showed her my watch, and she said she didn't know how to read the kind of watch [analog style]. Not much hope of her becoming president of any major corporation. But, I seem to have gotten off the point. It looks like that Berdan primer reamer set-up is made for a handgun/pistol case. Do you reckon it could be made to work in bottleneck rifle brass. I'm working on a cast boolit load for 7.62X54R and reloadable brass is as rare as a 4-point unicorn. Any info would be helpful, or blast off a PM. Thanks a bunch
