I would go with the 2X4 loads also. Even though the FC 12 ga 00 load have 12 pellets vice 9 for most 2 3/4" 12 Ga. Too many holes in the 00 pattern.

For several years my coyote load was 2.25oz of nickel plated BB out of my Browning 10ga Gold. 115 pellets per load. I have recently started using TSS Tungsten Super Shot. My load now is 2 oz of...

So much for that project. Sold the 458Socom before I ever fired it. Carl L.

I use the Aimpoint H30S on my 458 Ruger #1 and 375Win Also a Ruger #1, NOT a #3. That solves my vision(76yrs) problems perfectly. Both are paper patch rifles. Carl L.

I am about to start running paper patch bullets in my 9.3x62mm. Recently purchased a 9.3bbl for my Blaser R8. I have been paper patching for .375Win(Ruger #1[rebarrel from 300win mag]) and...

I think the .452" would be a good choice. I have the Corbin .450, .451 and .452 swage dies. All cup base, flat point design. One of them HAS to work. I will post as work progresses. I was...

Now that I am back in the U.P. I am getting ready to start swaging bullets for my 458SOCOM. Anyone been doing this? Thanks.

Well, I finally made it back to the UP and picked up my "stuff" sent by RCE. Nice press and nice dies. Hope to get it mounted in the next couple of days and start squeezing some lead.

Dave Corbin CSP1 and Richard Corbin Walnut Hill. In the early sixties I used a CH Swagomatic for 3/4 jacketed pistol bullets.

Yu are lucky. I ordered out an RCE Walnut Hill and two sets of swaging dies, plus adapter dies for my Dave Corbin dies. Everything got shipped and got to my place in good order. However, I had...

RRR; You say you were being civil. I will believe that. We both have better/other things to do.

rmulhern; whatever. your interpretation of my comment was not the intent of my comment. there was never any question about the effect of corrosive primers. how about; "i would like to read...

I agree, care of the firearm IS key. I think about all the old time double rifles, which spent most of their useful lives in India and other very damp climates. Yet, are in amazingly near new...

I do believe the statement. Back in the 50s I saw a beautiful 1903A3 30'06 beautifully engraved rifle, but the barrel was completely pitted from chamber to muzzle...This rifle had never had anything...

Some time back I read a comment on the requirement for cleaning black powder rifles shortly after shooting is finished. In this short discussion was the following: " the greatest corrosion problem...

Blaster; I agree that Dave Corbin is good at what he does. I know nothing about the brother. I have been happy with Dave Corbins products. Just not happy with the delay. At age 74 I now want...

I want to swage 45/70 lead bullets for paper patching. Am I right in assuming that LC is lead core? I have a set of Corbin "S" dies for .440" and .448" diameter. Both semi wadcuter cup base. I...

Thanks for the info. I am hand patching so far and things are going quite well. Got to keep an eye open for improvements.

What type of cigarette roller is mostly used to paper patch bullets? I am Patching 45/70 and 375Win. Recommendations?????

The reason for the question about die interchangability is. I do not want to wait about a year or so for a swage die. Been there done that. I am needing a .451" 1E SWFNCB...

I use the Martin/Yale Premier paper trimmer. It has a paper clamp bar that keeps things nicely positioned for the cuts. After cutting the correct size strips I staple about 5 or 6 together(on one...

Thanks for the info. UPEgger.

I currently have a Dave Corbin "S" press with a few Dave Corbin "S" swage dies. My question: Will the Richard Corbin swaging dies fit and work in the Dave Corbin Press? UPEgger.

9# onion skin paper. 25% cotton .0025". Two wraps around a .448" pure lead rifle bullet. Measures between .456" and .457" when dry. This bullet is used for a smokeless powder load in my Marlin...

I would continue to use your current measure and get a good powder scale and trickle. Ball powders usually measure pretty evenly in my old orange Lyman and my green RCBS. Stick powders have quite...
