    Pretty sure the original steel bushing is 1 1/4-12 threads.

    I think you guys using the reloading press swage dies would use a RCBS Big Max A-4 press or even the C&H three station H press and use the center die holder for doing this type of work.
    The Big Max is one super press I got on for mostly forming wild cat cases and also swaging pistol bullets using the C&H dies also the Hemp and Herters. Hemp made a nice attachment for ejecting the bullets from the die so you don't need to use a rawhide mallet and Herters made a GG swage die and the A-4 press handled these loading press dies in fine shape.
    I still have the A-4 but it seldom gets used anymore except for loading long cases as well as the C&H H press.
    The Lee might be alright for swaging the little .22 calibers ? but I think something would give when getting into some larger pistol bullets unless they are swaged using pure lead.
