Beartracker, that's amazing - I searched hi and lo for that info..
The cost is a little rich for me though :eek: - maybe I can get some of the guys at my club to get together to buy one!
Thanks again!

It's out of my price range too but if you have a few guy's go togeather on it, it may be worth it. The shipping alone on lead from the US to you has got to be high. Maybe you can sell some and make your money back.
One thing I wanted to mention is that set of die may fit a reloading press. I would ask the person selling them about that.It just might save a lot of money if it does. Good luck and I hope it helps, Mike

The CH Swagematic made bullets like the partial jacketed ones in the pictures. RCBS had a die set for their c press too. The one with the teat and washer on the base is like the old Harvey ProTex Bore that used a zine washer. It, in turn, was pretty much a copy of the Williams musket bullet used with Minie bullet loads to remove fouling.
I've used a bunch of the swaged jacketed bullets. They were but indifferent accurate and tended to lead at high velocities what with a good bit of pure lead in contact with the bore. The balls should work perfect though.
