Truth not fiction.
But it's been a long time.
One of the big bullet makers started out this way in his garage making hunting and target bullets.

This may be the place to start the search...the corbin name is familiar from way back when...

the dies are still made. just rather expensive.

Corbin makes them -- as well as some others - they can also be homemade if you have access to a lathe -- try asking on the cast boolits website - swagging forum --

Bit of trivia -- If I recall correctly these dies were developed during WWII when bullets for sporting purposes were not available -- I think Fred Huntington of RCBS was a primary maker -- Rock Chuck Bullet Swage = RCBS
