SAS Swaging?

[Utah Shooter]

Who here uses SAS gear and how does it fair?

I have an SAS press they were either Ted smith or early Corbin presses. They are a good swaging system. The grandfather of the S series press that corbin now sells. They take M class dies which are OK when you get up in 44 and 45 calibers they are very fragile. Also depending on the SAS press you may not be able to find dies that work right in it. There have been many changes and not all are compatible.

I also got one of these small blue presses. It's in good shape, I'm not sure exactly what model it is, it does have teh SAS molded into the handle. I found the press to be a bit week for large caliber stuff and could see it flex slightly under load. Haven't used it much since.

I also have a set of his 30 cal dies that can be used in a regular reloading press.

Anyone know of their compatibility with Blackmons press?

I think there were atleast two models, one used threaded dies and the other was not threaded. I believe the thread was the same as the Corbin and Blackmon, 5/8 x 24. I'm not posative on this though.

I am not going to tell you that it will absolutely work But I have used Blackmon dies in mine.
