Larry Blackmon Die question

[MIBULLETS]

I was hoping someone here could clear something up for me. I have seen in some places mentioned that Blackmon's dies and Corbin M dies are interchangable except for maybe the point forming dies ejection punch. Can any one tell me if they are interchangable? Maybe someone with a Blackmon die set could post a picture for me with some of the dimensions and thread size?

I have a Corbin S Press and was looking at getting some of Blackmon's dies, but wanted to be absolutly sure before getting it that it will work.

Thanks,
Dan

the threads on the dies are 5/8-24 if the other punches will work so will the point form punch !! they are all made the same on the end thats in the ram itself... i only have a bssp so i cant tell u about the corbin stuff !!

jixxerbill, thanks. One question. Is the ram relieved some where the die threads into it? The Corbin press is a one inch ram with a hole threaded 5/8-24 with no relieved area.

MIBULLETS; he makes all dies to fit Corbin presses.

I just ordered a set to fit the Rockchucker press, the dies will be 7/8'-14 and the punch will fit a ram he is supplying, but I can't remember the thread size.

5/8-24 if im not mistaken...bill

Yes, I have talked to Larry since this post. His dies are threaded the same but there is a difference and they will not fit the corbin 5/8-24 ram without modification to the ram or die.

Back in the 90's he (Bullet Swaging Supply) made a 6 cal ojive point forming die to fit my Corbin Mity Mite.

Ok, thanks. Maybe he doesn't want to make them to fit the Corbin press now. I talked to him last fall about a boattail die for my CSP-1 and he said he didn't want to modify the die but he would modify my ram if I wanted him to. So far I haven't sent him my ram.
