From the Picture in Post #22. It appears that Alex is forming the base of the 22LR brass into the Round Nose of his Projectiles. An inverse of what most of us are doing with Corbin, RCE, or BTSniper, et.al... We have a fully enclosed base, where his base has a slightly rounded jacket radius with lead bottom exposed.

Start the seated core/jacket into the point forming die just enough to put a slight curve in the jacket. then eject the projectile and swap ends, putting the base in the point forming die first. It takes some playing around with, but you can make "FMJ's" the bottom of the jacket with lead seated will not form a sharp point like an open jacket will.
Yes, of course. In the beginning of the topic I posted pictures of my press and tooling. I'll get one of my customers 550 brass .22 lr. I'll do a bullet type FMJ 45 gr. and take photos of the process. Sorry, but I have but there are other affairs around the house. I can not go every day to spread the new material.
The Day After Tomorrow evening I'm going to the shooting range and I need reloading fifty .223 Rem.

Hello again Alex.
How did you get Corbin machine in Russia?
My .22 swage dies fit in reloading press.

This is a true example of world progress, during my father's time in the navy 1959-1991 he spent 12 of those years targeting your country with nuclear missiles from a submarine, now we can all come to the same forum and discuss a mutual interest. Very freakin cool.
Internet shopping is so cool too!
I have "shooting brothers" in many countries now.
Alex, do you shoot the 7.62 X 39 or the 7.62 X 54?
Both are popular here.
Do many people cast lead bullets in Russia?

No, I do not shoot these bullets and weapons for them I have not.
I like shooting for grouping and accuracy.
Casting bullets we do. Typically these are the shooters and hunters who want to shoot a lot for little money, or those who live far away from civilization.
This is where fans communicate casting bullets from Russia: http://forum.guns.ru/forummessage/12/371119.html
Sounds like you're a lot like me, Alex.
I shoot for grouping and accuracy too. I have shot competition Bench Rest, and am taking it up again.
Using custom swaged bullets is the best way to get top accuracy. In the current American politically driven shortage, it's smart to swage your own. Besides, now I can satisfy my customers when they want jacketed ammo and bullets are hard to get.
Some are factory, some my father built, some I built, some others built.
I've got a real "hodge podge" (variety) of rifles. A few pistols, too, all factory, so far.
My father, in adulthood, never had a weapon. He could not even buy a hunting knife, because he was not a hunter.
I can have: no more five shotguns; no more than five rifles; no more than two units of the "limited destruction of firearms"; no more than five units of gas pistols. Of the entire set of "features" I am interested only rifle. And I know what my rifle will be the next three/four years.
Ouch. I've got way more than 5. More like about 50 plus.
In Russia, amount such a weapons may only license holder for the collection.
To me it is not threatened ...
I'm beyond a collector. Dealer, and ammunition manufacturer.
