swageing 50 cal bullets for my antique

[jbunny]

here are some pics of my swaged bullets for my 50 cal antique.
i started useing 44 cal tumbble lubed bullets. i then tried reg lubed
bullets lubed with the NRA alox/beeswax lube as per the cast bullet group.
it works great. these are a heeled bullet. nose is .510 and the heel is .483.
i use a small atlas arbhor press for swageing.
