that was awesome. Question ? Which one is less expensive the Fx style or the other and how much does the kit from corbin cost ? Is it worth the investment THANKYOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT
Thanks for the reply. Another question for you. I'm looking at getting this starters package the Kit-1S. Its supposed to have everything in it. Witch kit did you get? I'm really looking for a or the Kit that have the smooth sided slugs. Did yours come with that or did you have to order that separate, and will it come with the FX still dies or is that separate too? And why is there website so hard to navigate LOL. I emailed them and got a price list of everything I was looking for. But trying to find that all in one Kit doesnt seem like its there. I'd have to track down every peace one by one. I found that Kit but it just bring you to a description of it. I don't know what i'm looking at.
Will these molds work with any press? A friend of mine wants to give me his press from his reloading kit. Or will these molds only work with the Corbin press? His press moves upwards I noticed things Corbin's come down?
I've been reloading for years and have decided to get into swaging my own projectiles. Where would you recommend I start my education into this field? To be honest just looking at the Corbin price list I'm overwhelmed, mainly due to the fact I don't know exactly what I need to make jacketed .556 and 6.5. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
I was the same way even though I already owned 22 cal swage dies and made my own bullets, still would feel lost and overwhelmed on his website. I started reading his book which helped, it was online but I can't find a link anymore and that clarified. After some time you'll start understanding the differences, the book helped me understand the difference between all the different dies he is offering.
Hi Sir, after watching your video many times im interested to buy one, i contacted sales at corbin the price is $769 dollars if im not mistaken, unfortunately, they cannot send outside USA, is there any options to buy this set outside USA, thank you so much
@@nsboost making hybrids is double the time but they fly as good if not better in my FX rifles and the expansion on impact is way way more lethal. Makes the slug diameter double the size of a regular hp.
@@roonimac I do agree with expansion. They are flat deadly. I just haven’t got them to fly as well yet. My superior barrel 700mm .25 is really liking a 32gr standard hollowpoint moving at about 980fps.
The recommended way to lube your cores by Dave Corbin is this: apply a small amount of lube on your index finger and simply roll the core around between your thumb and index finger. IF your press and core cutter were mounted on the front of your bench, you would have much more room to navigate wouldn’t you? 😜🤔
Hello and thank you for the vid. I am interested in this press and you have answered many questions I had. As I was watching I noticed that your strokes of the press are not consistent. I notice you stroke most of the time with 2 strokes and other times 3 times and the pressure used is inconsistent. Have you weighed your wire slugs to see how consistent they are? If your wire slugs are inconsistent that will make the slug also inconsistent from the pressure needed to remove the excess lead. I am interested in the results of the other options of the die.
If you run the press through a full cycle.. lock to lock.. it doesn’t matter how fast or slow you go.. or how much the lead weighted when you started. They come out consistent. Good technique is to leave the press at full stroke for a couple seconds to allow the lead time to flow. But in my experience it doesn’t amount to much of a difference
@@nsboost I think consistency is the key, try to do everything consistently, I mean yeah if you tap 2x one time and 3x time it might not matter but the thing you said about leaving the press at full stroke for couple seconds I think is important for consistency.
They recommend that your plugs you cut should be a maximum of 3 grains away from your finished slug weight. So a 28 grain plug for a 25 grain slug . I'm not sure why but that's what I was told.
That depends on what caliber you make I think. The Corbin website sells a 5 slug mold for .22 caliber bullets. I think you can also use that for swaging .22 air rifle pellets. You must use pure lead. Do not use lead wheel weights!!! The lead is too hard and you could break your very expensive swaging dies!
It would take YEARS to recoup the cost for personal use. But.. you don’t have to order slugs when needed… you can make them in any weight… Corbin will even make dies to your specs at no extra charge.
@@nsboost “Recoup the cost” is no longer an issue. When the communist left is attacking the Second Amendment from every direction, being able to SWAGE your own bullets IS the skill to have. You’ll pretty much be able to name your price.
If they would sell outside USA they would have much more customers like me, if the quality is really better than the way overpriced Presslug press. 🤔 I can't still find the web page for price lists
@@immolder i am interested in your results. Since I been making my own 22cal slugs for a few weeks. I have tested a few different weights and gotten some good results from different weights. I'll be uploading some videos on my 22 slugs soon.
@@airgunsofidaho4886 It is a fun challenge, shot some today and I am still tweaking for better groups. Not getting what I want yet. I will be looking forward to your video.
They won’t get into the game because there isn’t a big enough market for bullet swaging. Plus, quality swaging equipment is on another level compared to reloading equipment. Highly trained tool makers make swaging equipment where as a button pusher can make reloading equipment (dies, presses, etc).
