Would sure like to see a pic of a full set of these dies so I can match up the ones I just got, these are new to me so could use some help, I'm sure they are all complete at least I hope so.

go to the corbin site and download the available handbook ( I think 8 is available).
http://www.swage.com/ebooks.htm

You may have m serises or s series. Look at the s series. teh m series dies used a 3/4 inch die body the s series uses 1 inch die bodies.

This page will help you determine what punches you have
http://www.swage.com/ftp/punches.pdf

Depending on what type of dies you have there could be
one die for LSWC type,

a core swage die (it looks like the LSWC die but has flat top and bottom punches),

core seater die ( no bleed holes and flat bottom bunch (in die) and a sloped , slope may not be apparent to hte naked eye, top punch to go into the jacket and not hit the internal sides of the jacket (external punch in floating punch holder)),

form die (small pin to push out bullet),

and maybe a Lead Tip Forming die ( this one will have have a tip shape in the ejector punch instead of the flat for the core swage)

go to the bottom of this page and you will see s series die sets

http://www.corbins.com/starting.htm

Is that of any help?

You can also do a search under my username for SAS die making handbook, it will give you drawings of the m series dies as the corbin mighty might is the newer brother to the SAS MightyMite

I looked up the corbin page, we got M-dies, 2 sets, 243 & 30 cal and I don't do either one, thought I had more sets but nope. I'll clean up the press and do 'something' with it , not to sure at this time. Should be some good tradin stock. Thanks again, SWANEEDB.

Yep and if you want to trade some stuff, would be glad to see what we can come up with.

I have about 20 ideal mould blocks to find new homes for and would consider trying to trade some of them. If interested I will get a list to you. I hope to get a list together and up on the site soon, but would get one to you quicker if you are interested.

Thanks, but right at this time I'm just not real sure what i'll be doing with this set-up, I know i've got some good merchandise, as for molds I use mostly 6 cav lee's, i too have got to go thru a bunch of stuff to pass on, accumulation of many years. Cheers, SWANEEDB
