Swaged bullet sources

Post by august west »

Is there someone making swaged PP bullets in suitable diameters? BACO has .40 calibers in .395, but I was thinking that would be a little large. I was thinking more along the lines of .390 - .393.

Don't know of other swaged sizes but you could talk to some of the guys here that use the Seth Cole 55w paper to get you at .400/.401 patched diameter. Just an idea to ponder. Bobw

I use a two tho patch and use that standard to make all my mould diameter. This results in a 392 bullet for what i like. So for your 395 bullet just go thinner on the paper. If you already have paper a point forming die from a corbin is an option.
