Beautiful craftsmanship there! I hope they shoot as good as they look! The swaging dies you fabricated look wonderful.

You are producing some fabulous slugs from stuff laying around your garage/shop!
I'm sure that you would be able to sell many on this forum if you so desire.

Excellent work!
I've been saying I'm going to make a set of swaging dies for years now. It's time to get busy and get it done.

I did not check because I do not have any equipment in this caliber. It was about checking if I can make a die for such a small caliber

just curious ? do you warm up the lead before hand ? seems to me it might form more uniformly ?

It's not necessary. Pure lead will flow pretty easily even with a regular reloading heavy duty press.
