Revisit swageing...........

#1 Post by Chaspuss »

Hi folks, revisiting the swaging topic. I have purchased a Walnut Hill swage press. I'm looking for the general dimensions of the dies. The diameter isn't a problem, but what are the rough lengths of the rams etc? I'm really just cheating here, to see if someone can save me re-inveting the wheel and some time.
I'm planning to swage paper patched for the Martini and the Snider first, then some experiments for the hell of it with grooved:canilured bullets and knurled ones.
Thanks!
