    Technical Question Regarding Swage Press

    Question: If One were designing a hydraulic swage press, using an in-line cylinder, what minimum force is required?
    Rights, and Privileges, are not synonymous. We have the Right to Bear Arms. As soon as the Government mandates firearm registration, and permiting, then that Right becomes a Privilege, and may be taken away at our Master's discretion.

    depends on the alloy, soft lead, not a lot, hard lead, a lot more
    if you are ever being chased by a taxidermist, don't play dead

    It depends on what operations you’re planning on doing.
    Premade jackets with soft lead 10 tons,for drawing jackets and lead wire most probably more.
    I used a 20 ton hydraulic jack in a bearing press to draw lead wire and it works well.
