- 2-22-2017 Due to health issues we had been forced to shut down our online store. We are not going to open back up at this time. We are still working on a part time basis and will still be making a few plates, Li'l Gizzy's and some jacket making gear. You can reach us at jksswage@yahoo.com for invoicing and special orders. (Just added a nifty set to ebay at a great price!)
I have reloaded and cast bullets for almost 40 years. I have always been interested in swaging, but the high start-up cost has always kept me from pulling the trigger. You can buy a wheelbarrow full of factory projectiles for the cost of the equipment required to swage your own. It would be nice if a budget company like Lee would step into the market.
Thats why I made my own swaging setup.
I was imaging john goodman teaching us the whole time :D
Mr Keezy yeah I hear John Goodman too haha!
Jesus I didn't think of that till I read this and now I can only picture him spot on!
Very nice. I checked out your website. Making my own jackets is more than I want to get into at this point but it looks like you make great stuff. I wish you great success.
Have you considered making bullet molds? There are many companies making molds but there are very few options for hollow point molds.
NAW, dies are easy - good molds are HARD. This feller can often fix you up with HP options www.hollowpointmold.com/
I was going to ask, if heating the metal make it easier
Hello I was wondering where I could get my hands on a set of these dies thank you
You have an extra $3400 laying around? These things are expensive as all hell
That background noise really helps.🤦♂️
PSA: click on the setting icon. Select speed and then select 1.5 times. You're welcome
CamSayCam more like 1.25.
1.5 is a bit too fast.
OMG. Thank you. Not so much for this particular presentor BUT for many, many others.
@Jksswage does a work hardened jacket produce greater penetration?
Thank god for playback speed!
A set of these dies costs $3400 from Corbin. That is not my idea of an affordable hobby.
+Matthew Swope
A little more than that all said and done. Price is not relative. My brothers Quads cost 7400.00 each - not an affordable hobby in MY opinion - perfectly acceptable in his. I am a tad cheaper than Corbin though. Been working on a few new designs for pistol jackets that should be a lot more affordable. Some gas check tooling and base guard tooling too. I will post some video as soon as I can.
I know this is an older post & you have probably already heard of it but, for handgun rounds, lots of people have been doing really well with powder coated bullets & they don't need a gas check. I haven't tried it yet because I usually load rifle rounds & powder coating can't take rifle velocities but lots of people have been getting great velocities, great accuracy & no leading by simply powder coating cast bullets.
I got some plated 9mm bullets from Rocky Mountain Reloading & I was pleased with them. I am thinking of looking into plating my own.
Powder coating or plating isn't as good as a real, proper copper jacket but it costs much less too. Like you say, depends on what you want to spend on a hobby.
Wtf, I'll just buy a damm lathe and make my own tools, seriously... I learned how to do precise measurements in the 6th grade.
@@galyien well there ya go👍🏻.
That said, you should probably learn the trade of machining (if you don't already know it) or you'll end up costing yourself quite a bit in the "error-learning curve"; i.e. what you don't know can hurt your wallet.
Ask me how I know...👷🏻♂️! 👨🏻🔧! ...💸💸💸💸...🤦🏻♂️!

hello I'm wanting to start swaging and am wondering what press you use, and can the kit make 30-30,308,338 ?? these are my rifles
+Jonathan Michelin Any caliber can be done. We do these for the Corbin S press, and the CSP-2 press and the hydro press, and also for the RCECO walnut hill press. We have also just contracted eith a machinist to make several different presses. Please feel free to e-mail with questions and details - jksswage@yahoo.com -Kel
I will send am email in a second, I'm looking for dies and a press, I like having the control of quality control

How about 264 bullets
ALL calibers, styles, presses,
the story is too much, you should immediately practice the work process.
👍долгих лет тебе жизни дед!!
