Hi Adam

How is the press?

I don't have any instructions for it anymore and am pretty sure I don't have any dies (I think I handed them in for compensation post Pistol Ban) but if I find anything later I'll forward it.

...in for updates on swaging dies, etc.

Have a couple of the Wamadet machines, but no instructions with them - which is a pity as some of the added items that came with one of the presses may well be swaging dies

...anyone got any old Wamadet leaflets?

Thanks, any dies or attendant kit would be greatfully received. :grin:

The press is a little doozer, many thanks John, I'm thinking of having a bracket made to mounted it vertically so I can use it as an ordinary press as well. Shouldn't be too much of a problem now that Ovenpaa has lots of time on his hands. :lol:

Just need a shellholder extension threaded into the ram.

I'll go and see Nalan at the Phoenix have bit crack with him.

I'm wanting to swage 45s for paper patching for the Martini initially, this along with Ovenpaa's endeavours and Kri5h's initiative I should end up with an embarrassment of swaging presses. Having the tools opens up whole new avenues for boolit making. :grin:

I am also potentially interested in buying a purpose built ,heavy duty,swaging press,would like:
some idea of cost, who can provide swaging dies?can they make jacket reducing dies,can they make tubing jacket maker? What model of die fittings?
I also have a wamadet press which i'm happy with;and have a set of wamadet 357 swaging dies, these work quite well to produce a jacketed swc,I had a better set made by another maker which lost in the pistol hand in.
Think someone wanted wamadet instructions, may have them in the loft,will look.

Now looking to make bonded core .243.
