Swagging 9mm to .40 cal

SUPERMAG said:
For those who are interested , took a while and couple failures with design .
Can't make a JHP too hard to get it released from die, but was able to swage flare whatever a .355 138 plated fronteir bullet to a very nice .400 plated bullet with slight pointed nose, somewhat in shape to a JHP style. Had to go with flat base as first trials with somewhat concave base cracked plating.
ran best with 500 psi hydrolic pressure . fast probablly will run through sizer die to ensure uniformity and consituncy.

Sorry Brian sentance structure awful and can't spell but I can swage 9mm to 40 cal .

OK, you are using 500 psi of hydraulic pressure, what is the diameter of the hydraulic cylinder so we can get an idea of the total force required for your operation.

Also, it would have been helpful if you had mentioned that you were going to do this with plated rather than jacketed ammo.

If it works, you might want to try it with Excel 9mm to make nice consistent 40 cal.
