My Mom works with a lady whose husband swaged his own bullets. I went over and saw the setup one time. He was out of lead wire at the time, but said he was able to source it locally from a welding shop that would add his order on and avoid shipping. I believe he said he bought his press setup from a guy in Utah that also made the dies or molds or whatever they're called when you swage. As for a bullet he said he experimented a little and found he like a 250 gr. PR bullet best and sent the bullet to the guy who then made an exact copy of it. All in all he said he was into it for between $900-1000, but figured he could produce bullets now for a few cents each and it paid for itself after a few years for as much as he was shooting. He also said he would never go back to casting.
