[QUOTE="Reloading Rod, post: 3554036, member: 34658"] I have a swage die to make 9mm into 40 projectiles. You anneal the 9mm case with primer in it, use a soft lead cast 120 grain lee truncated bullet, turn it upside down in the case. you then insert the case in a shell holder that holds 9mm, then use the lee expander (used to open up rifle case mouths) to push the lead and have it adhere to the case walls, then I use a btsniper die that puts a point and a makes it a hollow point and expands the case to the right diameter, I use a walnut hill swage press for that operation. I also can make them have the 'pedals' on them. I make 223 bullets from 22lr cases, 308 projectiles from 5.7 x 28 cases. Almost any case can be made into a bullet for other calibers. The drawback on the 223 bullets is they will come apart at about 3000 fps because the jacket material is so soft, but I've shot coyotes and other varmints with them and they do a good job, it won't penetrate a deer or hog, but does great on thin skinned animals. The dies are expensive, but could be made if you have machinist skills. [/QUOTE]
