so far i have been purchasing my boolits:
1. bought remingtons hollow base 1k for 60 some dollars, weren't uniform and my buddy had to lube and size them, not a good deal
2. bought berry mfg. 1000 for about 120. work great
3. bought Hornady swagged 38 hollow based knurled, WOW, night and day better

I want to make swagged 38 knurled hollow based and would like to also make 45 ACP swc (as soon as i find my 25-2 or 625) I have been looking at the corbin S press, but haven't figured out what all i need to buy to get started so don't know startup cost yet.
any suggestions would be appreciated. ejhines@comcast.net

Hello, I'm looking into swaging myself. I have been considering the same press that you have, the csp-1, and I am turned off by the 600 dollar price for a press that isn't hydraulic. Where do you plan on getting your dies from? Corbin's are ~600-800 for a set
