Alright guys
I've been checking into this and it looks fun, and well getting the perfect bullet is what we are all after. Swaging is the most precise method of making a bullet. It is extremely fast, easy to learn, and has many additional advantages over casting.
Nice read at
Corbins Bullet Swaging Systems I might be able to get a swaging set up this year, it would be nice..... very nice.
And for those that are not into swaging yourself but want to purchase your swaged bullets
On Target Swaging has ready made knurled and paper patched bullets (un-patched). I have found discussions about knurled bullets holding more lube than those with lube grooves etc. On the MSN board I saw Lead Pots pics of his knurled bullets, and paper patched ones. I got another pic of another hunters bison hunt where he took a real nice bison with a paper patched bullet using his 45-70.
I have one pic of myself with a doe that was taken with a 530-gr paper patch 45-90 thanks to my mentor (he doesn't know it though) who I still blame for getting me into paper patching..... none other than
Making, Loading, and Shooting Paper Patched Bullets Brent Danielson who wrote the book on paper patching and its all his fault.
I'm looking forward to better loads with either of these two bullets after I get my original 76 action Remington Rolling Block home.
Maybe momma would let me set up a swaging station in the house where it is warmer..... since casting is out of the question indoors.
You all have a great day
