SUCCESS! Though I already perfected this notch punch on the 44 it is nice to see it worked just as well on the 45s. Here we have a 245 grain XTP look a like swaged from the 40 S&W brass. I used a RCBS RC press to seat the core, Laymen OC press to notch it and a Lee Classic cast press to form the bullet. All stock presses with no dificulties. It would be even easier to form with a larger handle for more leverage.
Well It will be fun to see the range results when these get back from testing. Should make a very good bullet. Really goes to show anything is possible when you swage your own.
Good shooting,
