I take absolutely NO credit whatsoever for making the dies. I got all of my die sets from BT Sniper, and they are all expertly made. All of the development time that Brian put into these dies was well spent. His dies are among the best in the business.
I have also invested in a few "accessories" for the swaging process.
- Automatic Ejection System by BT Sniper
- Custom ram from ChuckBuster (Kevin)
- Custom extrusion dies from LaFaun and ChuckBuster
- Universal Crimp Die by BT Sniper
In the course of swaging various configurations, I have gone through a lot of learning what to do and how to do it better.
The articles have gems of information which have helped me do the swaging better. It's mostly about technique.
For example, for more precise weights, swage the cores twice. The net weights will be more accurate. That was a big revelation for me.
Similarly, the forming of the bullets in the point form die can be improved with proper technique. A lot of those techniques are covered in the articles.
So, read through the articles a couple of times. When you get started with swaging, it will all make more sense, and your bullets will be better than they would be otherwise.
