What a neat way to make B/P bullets.

I commented on this thread (just behind) the fellow who makes these homemade bullets. How do you fellows suppose He goes about doing that with 45 ACP brass?_

{I know He said swagging but I wonder if this could be done on a single stage press?} I also wonder if He were to anneal first. Would they all be near identical? What a neat ability this fellow has_

WOW

pretty much says it for me

I like the jacketed bullets made from old 45 ACP cases.

Really neat!

Would enjoy seeing his process from beginning to end.

Hey Jimbull34,

If you're listening out there, produce a vid. of making your bullets.

"BTSniper" is the fellow that makes the dies sets for swaging your own from empty case'es ...Search his threads and you will be amazed at what he/you can do with old brass and one of his die sets.

There are so many threads on using his dies and making bullets.;...years worth of accumulated information.

He has added canelure tools and XTP style cuts to several of them.

Thank you freedom475 for commenting. Been reading about BT Sniper all morning. He sure is a interesting fellow with imagination and talent.

Well gents I now have a much preferred answer to my questions. If you TFL fellows decide to follow Freedom 475's links your going to see and read some interesting things concerning swagged bullets. As I see it BT Sniper's prices for set of dies is a bit spendy. No doubt he puts allot of his time in perfecting a near flawless product and deservedly needs to be rewarded for his efforts & talents.__"Imagine not having to worry about another bullet shortage for your favorite modern weapon ever again." What a deal!! As for me. I'm going to make contact and see if Mr. BT Sniper has anything available for my 54 cal. I still love shooting those patched balls y'all. But a heavy duty custom made bullet for my 54 would be the Cats Meow.

Yes, an interesting concept for sure.

And the bullets on BT Snipers site are very good looking.
