[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2402211, member: 9299"] Tungsten, in powder form, for bullet core swage material has been used on and off for decades. There are varied sellers that can be found online, and I still have some small amounts in the shop. I began playing with it about 40 years ago, and over a couple of decades, swaged a few different types of bullets. Powdered T will swage tightly in a jacket, but breaks up on most impacts. It worked well for high BC, weight and shorter varmint bullets that would stabilize in 1/14 and 1/12 twists were lead cores will not. For hunting larger game, it was and can be used for base material like the MRX, Partition etc style of bullets, or inserted and swaged first in a jacket with a lead core upper 1/3-1/2. It does increase weight, BC etc, but eventually I quit using it. [/QUOTE]
