Using the CH4D dies I have found that the punches provided do not allow for you to recess the core. For example the 9mm dies I ordered the CH4D 30 caliber swage punch. As most of you who ever used...

I'd like to find #12 snake shot...make the whole process faster and easier. I did spill about a pound of shot the other day setting up. What a pain to clean up.

I may try a hollow point of this as well.

It's a bout a 4 caliber ogive...not a round nose but not sleek like a conventional rifle bullet.
Forum: Swaging
They seem to be rather limited and I can make bullets for my 32ACP, 30 Carbine and my 7.62x39mm. I have a lot of work to do with this. I think I can make some nice bullets.
Forum: Swaging
