Don't know if those dies could be used to make pellets from wire (so you don't have to kill a 4 cent pellet to make another one). If you want to try, there are many sources for lead wire, such as:https://www.rotometals.com/lead-wire-25-lb-spool/https://www.mcmaster.com/8879k2I have a pair of pliers with an adjustable stop to cut wire to a preset length. Then I weight the cut lengths and sort them into piles at the nearest 0.1 grain for pellet blanks...
Macro is hard to get a good focus ...but here the skirt after tapering the punch being non distorted and the original trailing edge minus the pulled lead. second pic the tapered punch.I also put some JSB 15.9's and some Crosman 14.3 domes threw the Swag die and shot them ... at 40 yards those too hanging inside 3/8" +/- proving the Die works ... who-da-thunk
For what it's worth, both the 22.9 and 23.7 grain .20 cal Eun Jin (SamYang) pellets are available from Krale. They are currently priced at $6.55 per 150 count tin. https://www.krale-schietsport.nl/en/ammunition/airgun-pellets.html?caliber_multi=377&manufacturer=127
