When making a bullet using the CSW-1 core swage die, making sure the
external punch is the correct one is very important. How must it fit into the die?
It must fit with exact precision into the die (by machine).
With any semi-wadcutter design of bullet (which also covers wadcutters), it is
very important that there be [------- ] amount of lead extending past the end of
the jacket.
at least a tiny
What are the three principle purposes of ammunition?
Lethal, training, less lethal.
More than one nose punch can be used on the same bullet to achieve special
effects such as various diameters and depths of hollowpoints.
True
There are two purposes for a boattail. The most important is to do what?
Reduce the amount of drag that occurs when air rushes back to fill the void left
by the moving bullet.
A nice feature on primer feed systems is this, a plastic rod, in which it both
weighs the primer stack down to allow reliable feeding and also shows you how
many primers are left.

We have learned that swaging lube is not the same as bullet lube. What is the
purpose of swaging lube?
It reduces friction and pressure in the die.
