The main two things about swaged.....
Don't push them over about 950 fps or they will lead.
Soft swaged very easily conforms to the diameter of a barrel so it is very easy to obtain accurate loads. I think for soft swaged about .002 over barrel dia. is ideal, but it doesn't hurt to try anything
BTW The swaged HBWCs are inherently about the most accurate bullet in most any gun without a lot of fine tuning in that the skirt of the bullet expands to fit any barrel. Slick, huh?
When I decide that I want accuracy over muzzle energy, velocity and recoil I shoot Speer or Hornady (and others) swaged HBWCs. A soft, heavy bullet lofted at slow velocity is a pretty good formula for accuracy. In semis, the swaged SWC with a light load is often tops.
