any one done any of this, i'm very interested in Mr. E's stuff and am thinking more and more about 14 caliber bullets. 8 guage wire is 0.1285 I was wondering do you think it would be possible to mash that .128 into .144 while forming a tip? my first swageing press is in the mail and while i'm not considering exerting that kind of force onto a swage-o-matic i am thinking that maybe i could do it with my lyman orange crusher. what do you guys think? cut cores to desired weight, anneal (maybe anneal then cut?), drop in die mash like h*ll pop out a 10 or 13.5 grain SP bullet? I've contacted one of the guys who makes swageing dies on the board i would much rather give my money to someone who is on here then just a faceless company, but i ask you guys as a subforum thanks it's possible? I"m sure it is, maybe i just need more then one die (probably).
Can't wait to hear your feedback.
