Swagging Setup

[6pt-sika]

The Barnes/Armbrust 8 gauge swagging setup . Pretty decent idea for using the old Herter’s dinosaur press .

All in all a lotta trouble to keep an 8 gauge shooting !!!

George L. Herter's Model Perfect. Order one out and try it! I have 2 of them bolted to my bench. And I'm still using my Herters powder measure.

What exactly pray tell are you swaging? The 'brass'?

Oh and didn't anyone tell you diet soda tastes funny ?

Yeah the extra bit at the base of the industrial hulls . They all have a step in them so you supposedly can’t get the high octane industrial loads in old guns like the one I’m playing with .

Ok, I knew of the industrial applications the 8 had, never knew the hulls were different. Thank you for the clarification.

I got some hulls from a friend today to tide me over until the order from Precision appears . The friend that I got them from today took me in his gun vault sadly I felt I should refrain from taking pictures . He handed me several Parker guns to try for feel an A1 Special an AAHE an AHE a BHE and a trio of Parker 8 gauge guns . The 8’s were a 5 frame hammer gun and a pair of 6 frame hammerless with one of them being fluid steel . Also hefted his Grade 3 five frame 10 gauge . He had many many more but these are the ones that stuck out .

So after today’s trip I have fifty or so nice new Winchester hulls to stage tommorrow as well as about fifty once fired Remington hulls that also need to be swagged . I’ll do that at the shop Thursday and hopefully load some tommorrow or Friday .
