I may have missed this before
But can any one supply internal dimensions for a set of 30 and 6.5mm cal dies!
I looked at he Corbin web site. Great diagrams but no notation (understandably).
Namely the core seat dies. As I a unsure of how much swaging happens at the core seat. Then the point form.
I read the thread about making .267 from 22 mag cases. And I am going to try the 25acp holder and expander punch. To make 6.5mm cases.
I am building a hydraulic ram press. And I have a lee classic cast.
I also cast my own boolits already. But what I Really want to do is swage for my 30-06.
I know I have to learn. But I have never made a set of dies before. Although I do have a shop where I can get things done.
I bought the Corbin book on swaging. But it told me nothing new! Well nothing I didn't get from this site to be honest.
Is there a better guide on how to make the dies!
Ether in print or electronic format.
I had the idea of making a open point form die that would hold a open ended jacket.
Then push a boolit into the jacket and then seat a gas check to seal the bottom.
But I think that's just pie in the sky.
Any help I can get will be great fully received!
Thank you cast boolits
