I've found that using 50 BMG fired primers can make decent quarter jackets for 9mm. Just have to anneal them first. I have not perfected them yet but I will be posting pictures soon.

How hard is it to find a source for fired .50 BMG primers? That could be a chore in itself!

Bad Karma.
What you need is my RCBS A-4 Big max press with those M dies
Well I have a much bigger press but I use my standard one to make things more understandable for my viewers. I like the C&H dies but I think their punches are too soft. Even though I am using pure lead I still bulge the swage punch. Do you know of a member here who can make one out of D2 tool steel?

No I sure don't.
I stall have two C&H die sets .44 and .45 I haven't used 20 years or more, well I guess since the 60's, The problem I always had was blowing the nose punch because I was a little careless, but I swaged a lot of 3/4 jacketed bullets with them and they do a good job.
I been set up for the RCE and CSP-1 presses now and will never look back.
