Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting Swag o matic 45acp dies

Is there any interest in these? I have them up for sale with some other regular dies but should have asked here first.

Also I have a mold I can't identify, maybe a winchester? eyeballing my caliper it seems just under .4, 40 cal ball?

I'm a novice caster, done some buckshot and 50cal for my ML. Have some 30, 357, 45 molds for just in case. Will never use these items, a shame to keep them if they can be used my someone else.

I've done swaging twice in the last fifty-five years of handloading. The second time, I remembered why I stopped swaging the first time. Lot of trouble and expense and you can probably buy good jacketed pistol bullets for the same or less than what you can swage them for. In defense of swaging, I made some pretty good and accurate bullets with my Swag-O-Matic press and dies. I got rid of all that stuff and don't miss it. However, there are some that still use this equipment.

One of the most recent articles (very general) on different ways of making bullets was published in HANDLOADER #253. As I recall, there is a little in the article about the Swag-O-Matic.

I like having old vintage stuff, but most like my cast iron and old butcher knives I can use. I start feeling guilty having something I can never use if someone else could.

The swag o matic sold, glad it can be used.

Any ideas on the mold?
