40 Cal Swage backup Rod for the 1050


Recommended Posts

Well Benoverse, I have been challenged to swage some 40 cal ammo for a friend and started looking at my 40 cal head for the 1050 and realized there is no backup rod for the swage station. Then I realized I had never before Swaged 40 cal ammo.

So what are people using? The 9mm backup rod? Should work just fine but thought I would ask before I just assumed.

And yes I called Dillon this afternoon to order one and found that they don't have one either. Their 1050 conversion kit for 10mm and 40 has a 'expander' in it not a back up rod.

Cheers

And for those that are wondering I have heard that the Coast Guard has requested 40 cal be crimped for water proofing.
