I am thinking about swaging my own bullets. I am possibly interested in purchasing a USED bullet swaging press, dies etc.

  Do a search on the auction side of the site for Corbin equipment.

  Are you thinking about swaging lead bullets for handguns or jacketed bullets for rifles (and handguns)?

  I bought my stuff from Corbin a little over ten years ago. I bought it because it appeared as if Clinton was going to ban bullets.

  Herters used to make some swaging equipment, mostly half-jacket stuff, as I recall. Herters and and C-H gesr shows up on the auction side occasionally. C-H still currently makes swaging stuff, so check out their website. There were also a few makers of other swaging tools for various purposes. Most of this equipment can be used in a strong cast-iron single stage press like a Rock Chucker.
  
  RCE and Corbin (brothers who started out together at Corbin) are both top drawer equipment makers, although it is pretty expensive and delivery time is measured in months. If you can stomach Fleabay, swaging gear shows up there sometimes too. Do a search for "swage" or "swaging". A lot of Corbin/RCE tools require a special larger press. You will find a lot of information on Corbin's website: bulletswage.com.
  
  Google search "swaging" and you will run across some fun stuff. castboolits.com has a swaging forum. I'm sure there are others, too.
  
  Haven't got to try it yet, but 9mm brass can be made into .40 S&W bullets using a cast bullet for the core. Now maybe I have a use for some of those buckets full of 9mm brass after all!
