Ok, call me crazy!! I would like to cast or swage my own pellets for my Benjamin 397, and make my own pellet designs. I think I would get more accuracy, and the fun of making my own pellets. I'd like to make a FMJ type pellet, and a special type of hollow point. Any ideas?

FMJ (full metal jacket) would be detrimental to your barrel.....

....as most airgun barrels aren't made for the harder coating. All lead or mostly lead mixtures are used for a reason.

You can check out Corbin's for swaging material.....I believe there's a good wait for the product once you order it. Not sure.
