Would anyone be interested in swaging a few thousand cases for some $?
« on: December 06, 2010, 10:13:47 AM »
I have between 4K-7K 9mm cases that I need the primer crimp taken out of.  Anyone interested in doing some swaging for some $?
Granted I don't wanna spend a lot or else I'd just buy some new cases.. ;)

I would look for someone with a Dillon Super 1050 and do some trading for ammo.
Maybe Sheepdog would trade you out?

Hey,

What were you thinking of an amount for swaging them all?  I may be interested.

Thanks!

Man its a hard call to make, cuz I could sell this brass and buy some uncrimped stuff for not much more..
Is $10/1k sound reasonable or is that too low?

 :sarcon: Since I know who you are and where you live :sarcoff:

OK, mostly who you are!

You are welcome to borrow my Dillon and do them yourself.

Everyone else has.  ;D

I'm not sure it's worth the effort for 9mm. No-One was going to do 9mm after he did the 5.56. I think he bailed on the 9. He could tell you a little more about that one...

No-One is now employed so I think that option is out. I know the big guys, with electrically operated stuff, charge $10 a k to do it - but I wouldn't do it for that. Course I'm lazy as all get out -

Borrow RG's stuff - he's a great guy and would love to watch someone else work - Huh Ralph - - -  -   ;D

Well I bought a Lyman pocket unifomer (I think that's what they call it), but I just don't want to sit there for hours and do it ! ;)
It took me months to get the 3K of them de-primed...   I was hoping maybe someone had a bunch of time on their hands and wanted to log some swaging hours...
Unless you guys think the swager would be faster than a drill with a cutter...?  The guys at Cliffs seemed to think so, but I dunno...

Borrow RG's dillon swager, worth it's weight in gold.

Sit down in front of the TV and enjoy of quality time with the boob tube and swage away. Took me an evening to blow through 1500 223 cases.
