Agreed. For that amount you'd be better off purchasing a larger press and a set of dies.

Richard makes excellent products, but I do believe he is a one man shop. Dave has recently? sold his business. It is still running along though.

If you get them please let us know your progress with them.

Welcome, glad they are useful for you also!

Maybe try annealing your jackets to soften them? Just heat them with a torch until the mouth just starts to get red. My .358 tubing jacket are quite soft after annealing.

Excellent! There really isn't much instruction so hopefully you can get what you need from them. If not, they work just like any other bullet dies made for a reloading press. So you can read the...

Are you able to see or download this file? This is all the instructions that came with my C-H 101 38 cal set. From your pictures, I believe this is a 101 die set.

Anyone ever try hammer swage dies? You use a hammer or something like that to swage the lead into a pellet using a die with a base and nose punch. This link is for larger bullets but has a good...

I would buy them if I were you since they are no longer in production. I have a 38 cal set and it was worth the cost. If priced reasonably you will never lose your investment if you decide you don't...

Correct, M dies have a 3/4" die body.

I believe his dies and Corbin M dies are able to be used in the Corbin S press.(I use M dies in my S Press just fine) I believe the point form ejection pin needs to be modified on the Blackmon die...

Dave Corbin dies

Nice, I use 1/4" L for my 358 caliber jackets. I have also used the softer refrigeration tubing as well and it works about the same with my die set.

I agree 100%. I was only mentioning the lead flow into the ejection pin hole because if you are not careful, it can be quite easy to fill it. I know of people who have locked up an ejection pin doing...

Ok, but those do already have a lubricant on them, and as long as the velocity isn't too high you shouldn't have excessive leading. Interesting idea btw!

It's ok if it flows up a little. I've done 224 and 358 but I only did it to check the die for smoothness and dimensions. Definitely not to shoot for me. Not sure what your intentions are on this?

I've done it, just make sure to lube the lead slug first. Just go slow adjusting the die until you get a fully formed bullet otherwise you may push lead up into the ejection pin hole.

I agree, it looks like a Dave Corbin S die and punches.

What lengths are you looking for? I may have some I would part with.

bullet maker 57 has made some. You may want to ask him.

We get ours from Crown Metal Company Inc in Millwalkee, WI. Ask for bullet wire, they sell quite a bit of it.

Ok, how fast can you shoot them with PC?

What do you use to lubricate them with after swaging and before loading them?

22 Hi Power?

Nice looking bullets! With that much lead on the tip there could be some slumping of the tip at the higher velocities as well. Might explain why they did better at the 223 velocities. This is one...
