I’m willing to bet that there is no difference if you compare enough measurements over enough spools of wire.

I m just getting into swaging but I think that would be a safe bet. Unless you are maxing out weight n it’s getting to long to get in the die comfortably. Otherwise I’d have to agree

Thor Press...Unfortunately they no longer exist, but I'm glad I took a chance and bought it because it's been great. There's a lizard I nailed at 100 yards lol

These were 54g I was using at the time, I believe about 990 fps, they performed great, have a deep cavity so expand quickly.

I’d be willing to wager that you may be correct. I have no concrete evidence. Although Corbin’s lead is pricier, there is an obvious difference between Corbin lead and NSA lead wire. If you want to argue the point I suggest that you buy and try both.
The finished products shoot well in my experience. BUT my experience swaging with lead from both vendors has been different. In this regard you may listen to whom you’re comfortable listening to, but I’d encourage anyone to test this claim and draw your own conclusion.
