Corbin 6s Ogive Point Form Die, Corbin Seat Die, Lafaun Squirt Die, and Lafaun Auto Ejector for $575, being sold local by someone

Corbin lists their kit for $800, but I dont know if the kit comes with more then this or not.

from the ad:
"Corbin Point Form Die with 2 ejection punches at .077 (inside of die) and .0575 shown as well as 2 external punches.

Corbin Seat Die with 2 internal ejection punches. 1 for ejecting 22lr jackets or short copper jackets (inside the die) and one for longer copper jackets."

Like is this sell your first born kind of a deal? or a if you can swing it deal? or a meh deal save your money for BTs stuff kind of a deal?

Only you can decide which way you would want to go.
In addition to what's in the advertisement, you'll also need a derimming die, and a way to make wire (for the cores.... or you could buy wire), and a way to rough chop the wire to make core pre-forms.

Not even the set directly from Corbin includes everything that you need.

So, with the extras that you'll need, BT's package deal starts to look like winner!

In my judgment it a good value.
I chose not to buy them because of corbin swagging presses already in possesion, and these dies would work easyer in a rockchucker or other heavy duty reloading press.
The corbin presses are desinged for a diffrent style of die.

I think it is a fine deal.

Are you the seller? I have been wondering cuz I knew you were selling yours to go for a set of Blackmon dies. Correct me if I am wrong.
