Swaging is actually easier to do with soft lead with a BHN of 5-6 (referred to as pure lead). With swaging, the softer the lead the better it fills the die and the eaisier it is on the very precise equipment. The lead used to form the pellet is at room temperature. When the press pushes the lead with extreme pressure to form the pellet all the air bubbles are pushed out. The excess lead is pushed through bleed holes so the final pellet is perfect each time with weight differences of less than 1%. This is up to 10 times more consist than cast bullets.
You will often see cast bullets being pasted off as "soft lead" cast. This is true compared to cast bullets that are normally cast with lead of a BHN of 16-24, way too high for pellets in our PCP air rifles.
