Copper slugs
Larry,what if you made the die upside down,nose forming on the bottom ram top could have a flat removable piece and bullet could be pushed through like a Lee cast bullet sizing die. Frank C.

Not a bad plan at all, I will see what I can do with it. Larry

Reamer
Got the reamer made up for the die, no wonder people don't like making 10's, this thing is really small! Guess I will take great care when reaming the hole with this one. Larry

swaged copper
Larry, your a man of action even in this heat.That must be the size of a #6 lead birdshot,don't know how anyone can ream and rifle a barrel that small.I've had good luck with half reamers,what sux is you have to harden them in the round then grind to half outerwise they'll warp quenching.Made one to legnthen a 16ga shotgun chamber scads of grinding.Frank C.

Parker Ackley
I was just reading that when Ackley developed the 17 cal he swaged the bullets with a die he made and an arbor press.He used annealed copper wire. Frank C.

That had to be one big a** press. I just can't see doing it in an arbor press that one would use for re-loading, I can't see using it in any hand operated press for that matter.
