Hey guys,
I would like to say this was my weekend achivement but it was not though it is my primary goal when I got into this swaging hobby. It is a 280gr .338 "Henson Aluminum tip bullet" pictured next to a Serria 300 grain match king.
You can check the thread an longrangehunting.com as it has sparked alot of interest. Shooters are getting BCs of 1.0 and better.
I did sit down in front of a lathe for the first time over the weekend and made some new punchs for my dies. A very cool experience and will continue to try more challenging projects. Swage dies for various calibers to be specific. I will be studing these .338 style bullets and see what I can come up with. Anyone one have a nickels worth of advise for me as to making swage dies. I will try to find Corbin's book Discover Swaging as people have said there is good info in it relating to making dies. Is this true?
Thanks guys Keep up the good work as I totally enjoy all the new projects you all have been posting.
Good shooting
Brian
