Hand Swaged Bullets...Taking casting to the next level

[Zelot37]

SWAGGG

[lucasgpagani]

nooossaaaaaaaaaa



[UrSoMeanBoss]

Swage?

Swag!

[Nopiw]

wtf? is this a bullet in a bullet?

[Vincerama]

This is why people just say "H & K"

[gotindrachenhart]

Yup it's Heckler and "coke".....it's German :)

Just like I always pronounced swage incorrectly. I always prounced the a as short (swa-g vs swA-j), swAging just sounds silly and european....swagging sounds dirty and cooler :)

[zerinhodaft]

@gotindrachenhart i'm police officer, and on it's presentation video for HK P2000 they said a lot of times "hecklar und korrrr pii tzzzwaaaayyy tauzannn"

hahahahaha

but unfortunatelly, we still with Taurus PT-940 and Imbel MD-1...

[gotindrachenhart]

@zerinhodaft I'm missing something, that made no sense.

[dbach7]

Say basically three or four more times.

[zerinhodaft]

Jesus...

bro', the correct pronounce is:

"HECKLAR UND KORRRRRR"

H - E - C - K - L - "A" - R - a little pause here - U - N - D - another pause to breath - K - O - frog in the throat!

hahahaha

[Breakneckhydra1]

@zerinhodaft

LoL a DIED laughing at the "frog in the throat!" HAHA

[gotindrachenhart]

@zerinhodaft Actually it's supposed to be said like "Coke"

[calfan3]

i thought it was like "swagg" , LMAO

[eltercermillonario]

Heckler and Coke?

[JMCSD]

@eltercermillonario That is indeed the correct pronounciation. I myself called it the Heckler and Cock for a long time :P

[omgiTsmeJon]

thats a hell of a bullet, copper, lead and brass in one 

[citydriver]

hu ha wait is that a casing  in a casing?

[killamilla45]

@citydriver no

[fastbuckink]

have you checked out any of ammosmith's videos

[fastbuckink]

@fastbuckink sorry missed the end

[ANMLgaming]

do you melt brass down and cast it to make the jackets?

[jono90hd]

am i the only one that giggled when he said cock?, love the pistol btw

[MsBowhunter95]

so its a bullet within a cartride case thats loaded into a cartride case?

[dogbone222]

@MsBowhunter95 dare i say shellception?

[LMTDDubstep]

I just typed in swag :D OMG

[VicariousReality7]

Lol wut, sir.

[Philibus59]

Great video. Short and to the point.

A point, nothing to do with this video, but when you have a multi-part video, would you title your video's with the same name then add a "Part 1 of 5", Part 2 of 5, Part 3 of five etc..."? It would really help those of us that enjoy your expertise, keep track of your multi-part video's.

[snowshooze]

That hollowpoint has zero effect on drag. You push an air cushion, just the same as a wad cutter or flat point. Granted, a round nose or spire point is slipperier, but, no... that huge hollow point will fly just fine.

[OZZYwhitePOWER]

exuse me iraqveteran8888, i have a question. How much does the hole in the projectile slow the bullet down??

[bobiscool308]

what does swaged mean

[bobiscool308]

@frasatat2 i posted that 5 months ago. chill fag

[Kronnkk]

does yor H&K barrel have polygonal rifling ? was wondering if tested against another barrelwhith ,or whithout poly riffling what you would think

[dibdevlon]

Hey thanks. I have alot of 40 brass that I have no use for but that now appears to have changed :). Thanks again for the vid.

[MahDixiNormas]

wouldnt the hole cause massive wind resistance?

[bhbuckwheat]

does the brass jacket damage your pistols rifeling?

[w1d3w1k]

very interesting

[CRJarvis]

neat

[6satan6ist6]

but what is the point of a "swaged" bullet?

[daywalker627]

@6satan6ist6 just being able to make your own jacketed bullets. It is another skill one can have so when shortages and things like that happen, you can still make a jacketed bullet. It costs me 8.00 per 100 bullets I make. Since swaging, I have not had to buy bullets to load. For me, its saving money.

[6satan6ist6]

@daywalker627 oh. i guess that is a good idea beings how the price of ammo is going up like cigarettes lol 8 bucks a pack thats like crack prices. ppl will start sucking dick for cigarettes soon lol

[daywalker627]

@6satan6ist6 Another thought, This person locally found out what I am doing with these 40 cases. He asked me the other day if I needed some so I said yea how much. He told me he had no use for it and if I could use it, then it is mine, He said he had over a couple thousand. Being I get my lead free, these 40's he is giving me is free, then I get free jacketed bullets. The 8.00 per 100 figure was based on having to buy the 40 brass (3k+) from a friend. More money for smokes LOL...

[6satan6ist6]

@daywalker627 LOL thats badass. i dont own any weapons. but i do know that .45 caliber is really expensive, and in a Tommy gun you could waste like $200 in the matter of 2 minutes. lol

[Emery98]

Can't wait for the range test.

[KeeperOfTheOath]

could you use small diameter copper pipe end cap for this? I'd hate to waste good brass,

[daywalker627]

@KeeperOfTheOath You can use copper pipe. When my lathe comes in, I am going to work on making a set of jacket making dies to use coper pipe as a jacket. I am not sure about an end cap, you cold gas check then use the copper pipe. You could just leave the base open like factories fmj's as well.

[KeeperOfTheOath]

I wouldn't use copper pipe with both ends open (like you'd have to on a JHP made with the swager) due to case slippage, I've had plenty of chances to laugh at my buddies who were shooting their 'special' deer bullets, (dum-dums with the tip cut off,) and had the lead core jump out of the copper jacket, most hollow points jacket wraps around the bottom to prevent that, maybe if you used a torch to fuse the lead to the case it'd hold together...

[daywalker627]

@KeeperOfTheOath Oh most definatly have to bond the core and case. I would flux the inside of the case then seat the core. Then warm the case core up to bond together. When I make my jacket making dies for copper tubing, the base will be fully closed same pipe, then I will make the tip however different top punches. Hit me up in a pm, I have a picture of a friends jacket making die with made jackets and bullets from copper pipe I can email you if you like....

[dibdevlon]

@daywalker627 Where did you get the idea from. Finally a use for a pathetic round(40sw).  Very, very intriguing.

[daywalker627]

@dibdevlon I read about these over at cast boolits when I was looking to get into swaging. The idea has been around for years. Just like most things, it had died out. There are numerous calibers you can swage for using different cases for the jackets.

Once you find the right bullet, powder combination, these are accurate. There are a few guys over at cast boolits using these in competition matches..

[realgungho]

See you dont auto-index the press - me neither.

[007TheReaper007]

★★★★★ツ

[birdhunter67]

That Tommy is mo fo man

[huntwithairguns]

These would be neat to try in my muzzleloader for deer hunting...

[daywalker627]

@huntwithairguns my thoughts exactly. I am ordering the 50 cal sabots from midwayusa and will be swaging these a bit heavier to load into my blackpowder! Hopefully catch it on film once I get everything in. Shoots great out of my 1911, just need to work the load data to for better accruacy. I am sure iraqvetern8888 will have good luck..

[om3gadagg3r]

I dig this, that round looks to be a hard hitting jacketed mofo!

Ω

[duemamay]

i've seen these many times before but thanks for loading them i never saw these swaged bullets loaded before so this is a first.

[stevewall502]

do those scar the inside of your barrel?

[daywalker627]

@stevewall502 nope, does nothing more to your barrel than a regular factory jacket.

[BigSean1992]

sorry if i sound like an idiot but what is the point of putting one case inside another?

[Gorbachev]

@BigSean1992 The smaller case becomes the jacket for a cast bullet.

[cadrician]

Like the subject, can wait to see the follow up. Nice job, the quality of video and lightning is great!

[ShawnCFarm]

I like it. Now could you not load for 40 s&w the same way using a 9mm luger spent casing? i'm thinging yes

[daywalker627]

@ShawnCFarm yes, there are some other guys doing this for their 40's. I also do this for my 44 magnum as well. I thought I sent some to him for his 44, may have to if I have not yet.

[GunWebsites]

Awesome video.. you do good work, both on the ammo and with the camera, thanks for posting

Looking forward to the range tests

[daregu]

would be interesting to see what those do to some ballistic jell.

[45Blackjack]

@MacTeutates theres a few out there, 1 that comes to mind i actually have in 9mm is Remington Golden Saber.

[0Weaver0]

i have never seen that before.

thanks for the video, keep up the good work.

Weaver

[kimmer6]

Thumbs up on this vid. Don't know how I got here surfing for Barbie doll outfits and cute kittens but here I is. I shoot solid brass .510 diameter 50BMG loads with 226 grains of IMR 5010. There is less transfer in the barrel than the copper fouling from surplus and Hornady A-Max projectiles. I don't think swaged brass projos will give you barrel problems. Thank you for your military service and for being a Patriot. People like you make me proud to be American.

[sliderule78]

The camera and lighting you have now is awesome, thanks for the vids.

[45Blackjack]

@MacTeutates probably not much more then any brass jacketed bullet.

[aaadream]

Nice info. The new camera is clear on HD. Are you still working at the pawn shop? New shop looks nice. #FTW

[daywalker627]

Thanks Eric. Hope they shoot well for you. I need to work on some different powders myself to increase the accuracy from my handgun. Also just to let ya know, these was bought from CH4D, I can not afford corbins, wish I could, these swage dies run you 129 and some change so it is not a bad price to get you into swaging. Good luck with them!!

[littlebit197429]

@MacTeutates I will have to weigh the barrel before and after to see what kind of build up i get

[Marine052191]

That is crazy awesome! 

[glennwih]

It takes 1 year to get a corbin press.

[littlebit197429]

@glennwih ouch...you'd think they could hire more people or something. I know at some point James was complaining about the lead time on his Corbin products....geez

[usops88]

wow iv never heard of these. cant wait to see them fired

[pukkepop]

Very nice handgun. The bullets are pretty interesting, but I can't see how these can be more accurate then factory bullets. So I can't really see a use for these "bullets". But then again hollowpoints for pistols are downright illegal in Belgium so I can't have any eitherway :P

[daywalker627]

@pukkepop They are very accurate. Curious as to why you do not see how these can not be? Are you thinking because of the ejector groove still on the case at the head? Believe it or not, that has no affect on it whatsoever. I have seen some great accuracy from other shooters. My problem, I have not found the right load combination for my handgun..

[HalfMeltingEyes]

Extremely interesting stuff. :u Can not wait to see results.

[giarrussoj]

2nd...

@speedyninjafrazer

Wow. So cool dude!
