New Toy - Swaging Machine Video

Recently acquired this old swaging machine currently set up for .38 HBWC.  Working on making some .32 HBWC dies for it.  Spits out projectiles at a rate of about 3000 to 4000 an hour.

Greetings,

It looks like the swaged bullet gets directed through a knurling wheel after forming?

Regardless, I sort of regret not contacting the owner before you bought it.

How is the machine fed? Spools of wire?

Cheers,

Dave

Yes, the bullet is directed through a knurling wheel after it's formed.  It then went to a size and lubricator but that section of the machine was removed because it didn't work well.  The knurling wheel can be removed to make plain wall bullets.   It uses slugs fed from the vertical tube shown on the left.  I also have the machine (slug caster) that automatically makes the slugs from lead ingots.  It's unique in that it doesn't function the same as the Magma Master Caster but uses a horizontal forming wheel.
