Swaging bullets

I have only recently returned to BR shooting after many years. One of the pursuits I was going to take on back all those years ago was to swage my own projectiles. But where to begin as far as sourcing dies suitable for the job. I know many people these days do swage their own so I would be interested in finding out what preferences people have regarding die makers, press types etc.

I don't intend making projectiles for sale so the volume the type of equipment would have to produce would be very low.

Look forward to the forums input.

Larry Blackmon......... Perfect for what YOUR needs are... Top Notch World Class are the dies I have bought from Mr. Blackmon. Have seen .308, .224 and .204 bullets made off of various Blackmon dies and my own .243.... Excellent..!
He only makes tool steel dies so the life of the die will suit your needs, so will the $$$.
