Happy New Year!
Let's derim & size some 17 HMR & 22 WMR
►I'm using a BT Sniper Deluxe kit for swaging .224 flat base and rebated boat tail bullets (a one-off custom order RBT kit).

I love swaging videos

[@psykoklown874]

Glad to hear it. It's a rather niche subject, even amongst reloaders. At least there are finally a few people making swaging videos that are actually informative. There weren't any worth watching back when I was originally looking into swaging. I think may I make it look more difficult than it really is though. I had to rethink and tweak these heavy ones several times. 22lr is tried and true, but these were uncharted territory for me.

Psyko Klown yes sir I enjoy it I've been watching tatv he's been doing this for a little while I think he's got like four or five videos that he put out

[@psykoklown874]

He's one of those people that I was talking about. I found his videos a day or so after I uploaded my first one. It may even have been the same day. It may very well have been the swaging video that actually taught me something that I could use.

Psyko Klown yeah he's a good old boy

[@EagleEyeShooting]

That jig is awsome! Could 3D print some and post on Cast Boolits - Swagging.

Hey Psyko Klown. Question for you. What type of chicken container did you say that was catching your finished jackets?

[@psykoklown874]

I don't even know what I was using. I used whatever would hook into my swage rig. I like to use the containers they sell lunch meat in. They come with a lid and stack well. I sort and store my brass in them. The large ones hold a fair amount of brass. I got the chicken container idea from FC45LC, but no matter how well I cleaned them, some of the chicken containers would go rancid, so I stopped using them altogether
