Walnut Hill swage press, made in OR - Gussy - 05-28-2021
If you're going to be at the Quigley shoot I'll have it there. Press, wire cutter, reloading adapter, set of bullet dies. $500 for everything. It's really heavy and I don't want to ship it. Probably cost over $75 to ship plus a really heavy box.

Jim,
What are the dies?
RE: Walnut Hill swage press, made in OR - Gussy - 05-28-2021
I'll have to photograph a bullet and measure it. Weight is adjustable. I'll be back in the shop tomorrow.
RE: Walnut Hill swage press, made in OR - Gussy - 05-29-2021
Bullet as shown, 529gr, .447 diameter, it about a 20-1 alloy.

I use that press and it's a very good press but I wish I would have had Richard make me the shel holder attachment you have showing under the press.
I have a die similar to that for the .50 and I made a draw die for stretching cases. I don't think that press will stay long on the table at the Q.

Kurt are you in need of a tool post grinder? I bought one with the intention of making some dies for that press. Big heavy bugger! You would have to make an adapter for your lathe most likely.

No I have a Share. It's hard to get along without a Tool post grinder when you fool around with cutting tools.

How can I find you at the Quigley? I am interested but not fully committed...

I'll take it, Please!
I'll be at the Q on Tuesday.
I've been wanting to try Swaging for probably 15 years.
Thanks!
