    Any one here swaging?

    I recently started making a set of dies to swage .223 boolits using 22LR cases. Anyone else doing this, given how hard components are to find?

    I think LR1955 was swaging some pills. I don't know if he still is. I think it is pretty cool. I'd try it, but I'm too short on time and space to take on anything like that. Lazy too.

      I first read about the Corbin swaging press when I was in my teens and have wanted to do it ever since. Always too costly to get started for me. Still interested, though. I'd love to try my hand if I could figure out how to afford the setup costs.

        Yes, I noticed to cost as well. My Redding Ultramag is heavy enough to swage .224. I just can't justify $1200-1500 for a press and a set of dies for one caliber. Hence, trying to make my own.
