Hi Rick, I think you would be well served by swaging... as I remember, the bullets looked every bit as nice as commercially made bullets, and even though you cut the lead wire off in a bench mounted cutoff tool, they were quite accurate, with very little variance... with the added plus of, no subsequent sizing, lube, or leading.... you just swage, weigh, and load... I believe they will make any die you specify.... let me know what you find out, as I think swaged bullets would cost far less then factory... Of course, you have to write the initial set up off as experimental prototype tooling...or just fun! till...later...G.T.
