It is being done with small caliber pellets operating at lower pressure. The slugs do have a thin-walled skirt/hollow base design.

I've already posted to information explaining this can be done at 20k PSI and a press which will deliver that pressure with manual operation and one that is hydraulic. People are swaging bullets with the Corbin presses linked. It is just a matter of which caliber is the best to match up with...

Yes ... Including firearms that operate substantially under 35000 psi and with loads that are substantially below that threshold also.

The space, cost, and necessity of providing 3-phase power preclude me using a lathe and a bar feeder in my garage. If I owned a shop it would be a quick bit of code and easy setup. Corbin is using atomized copper powder to do it. At the small volume he sells it I have worked it out to $.30 a...

Setting up a injection molding operation is definitely considerably more expensive and complicated than swaging. The ARX bullets themselves are not available for sale as a component yet as far as I can tell. And, although I do value my time, $26 an hour probably isn't what I would use in this...

https://www.shootersforum.com/threads/capability-of-jacketed-bullets-to-slug-up.97667/post-810594 There is a lot of talk about obturation, but it really isn't happening, at least not in pistols and quite a few rifles. There simply isn't close to enough pressure, especially in factory loads...

Also, any feasible ventilator good would be insufficient for safe home use. Next time you are at an indoor range take a lead indicator crayon and test a few surfaces around the range. Everything will test positive. Probably most things for a room or two outside the actual range.

I would be swaging copper pellets/slugs myself. There is a cavity in the base to assist with expansion. I don't think firearm bullets rely on expansion anyways. The rifling lands are smaller diameter than the rifle bullet. If you were to attempt to load a bullet from the muzzle, it would not...

Sorry, I thought I made it clear, I would be swaging pure copper rounds. I also discussed buying lead rounds. Jacketed rounds are not relevant. Given the value of my time it is much cheaper to make solid copper rounds than jacket lead cores.

I have been looking at airguns for... A long time. Well, I have an older single pump pneumatic target rifle in .177, but this would be a more general use PCP rifle. I think I might finally jump in. One issue is I am interested in shooting lead free. Actually, specifically copper slugs. The...
