Swag is a very different word than swage. English is funny like that, one extra vowel at the end of a word changes its meaning entirely.

Quoted: I've always pronounced it: 1.) swāj. I recently have been hearing people pronounce it as 2.) swag. So, what do you do? 1 or 2? Correctly. |

Swage is most often pronounced /ˈsweɪdʒ/ (AHD format: swāj).[6][7] Another (less common) pronunciation sometimes heard in the metalworking industries is /ˈswɛdʒ/ (AHD format: swĕj)
 (perhaps influenced by sledge as in sledgehammer).

The word is "swedge" when pronounced that way. Two different operations with one part in common; they both are operations involving movement of metal. |

Swage = Rhymes with pay.
Ogive= Oh+give Hornady= Hornadee This is the way I pronounce them. But I could be wrong especially on Hornady it is probably Horn+a+day. |

The politically correct way would be....."form fitting".
