charliez,
Very interesting indeed!
Sry to resurect a very old post, but I was hoping you would update us on your efforts to thin the larger diameter top swqagin rod. Were you able to get the results you had hoped for?
Have you noticed this being much more extreem on swaging, say .380 or 30-06? I am new to the 1050 and am not certain if each caliber of rifle has it's own top/bottom swaging rod.
Thanks!
