Edge Dies 7/8-14 Swage Dies

[coltac]

People have been asking me for some pictures of my 7/8 dies for a reloading press. Im finally getting caught up filing orders. I have 4 or 5 more to fill. But for those of you who would like to see what they look like, here is a picture. The copper bullets have been tumbled, and the brass bullets were made with fired .22 LR cases.

Dies from left to right are Point form, core swage, core seat, de-rimming die.

I own a set of Kaine dies and see alot of similarities???

[GerryM]

Nice work' The concept is not new but it works very well'
Dies that cost $$$$ s are the same design.
I think that system is really the proper way to swage bullets.
I have used the other types also. {blackmoun}
Corbin use to make a set like these years ago .

Question.

I went to the website but the picture was different for the .224 swage dies. There were only 3 in the photo. I did not see the derimmer with the punch. was it just left out of that photo? I would not mind trying a set and for the $349 price it looked awfully tempting. I just want to make sure. I am just getting into reloading and swaging is a brand new thing to me as well...

Also, I have a Lee CLassic turret press but for this stuff I picked up a 1975 RCBS Jr Reloader today. It looked barely used, actually, not even mounted yet but at $25.00 I thought it was a good purchase. I hope these would work okay on that press.

[Utah Shooter]

Ah man. That is a fantastic deal for an RCBS JR. I have swaged many .224 projectiles on one of those.

From what I have seen (pictured above) the dies look fantastic. For 349 four die set. Cannot go wrong there.

[Stilly]

Oh really so then it is decent to use? That is good to read. I came here initaly for the 22lr brass converters/swaging dies and all but I have found all kinds of cool dies that I could run. Since I have a lot of 9mm brass I figure that I can use those too but for now one die at a time.. (yes pun intended)

[Utah Shooter]

Well welcome. The 22 cal dies are what get me started as well. I suggest you run away though. You WILL get sucked in here.

[Stilly]

Yeah no doubt. In a few weeks I might be found in my room with my head exploded and bits of information all over the walls... I really should leave now to escape my impending doom...

what is the difference between the Corbin H style press dies and a standard die in 7/8", 1 1/4" or 1 1/2"

I'm very interested in this as well.

What kind of lead times are you running?

[BT Sniper]

Where the copper jacketed bullets formed in your dies as well. They appear to have a smaller meplat?

[coltac]

Yes, the copper ones were made in my die. I used a point bump die that i burned w/ the EDM. The brass jacketed bullet seem to wrinkle if i go much smaller than the picture shows. Im sorry for not responding too much, ive been very busy. Let me know if any of you are interested in a set. Feel free to shoot me a Pm, or we can talk on the phone.

[Jailer]

So does your 224 set come with a de rim die included or is it extra?

[coltac]

The set does come with the de-rim die. Its not extra. Im charging 349 for a set.
Core Swage / Core Seat / Point Form / De-rim.

Ill be getting around to updating the pics on the site. Im very busy right now. Hopefully it will be done soon

[coltac]

Im also very excited to announce that i am having an old machinst friend start building presses for me. The press is much like the Corbin H Press or the Walnut Hill from RCE. Its all machined 1" steel, machined guide rods on bushings. Its very stout. Will be compatible with Corbin H dies (i dont have any dies for the walnut hill, so i dont know if they are directly compatible or not, im sure some of you guys know) I will get some pictures of the press posted in the next few days. Hes finishing up the prototype right now. We have swaged some big ol' .458 bullets @ 500 gr. with it, and it was pretty effortless. The press will also have a removable pin on the toggle, that will allow the press to be used for reloading.

[mecoastie]

Those look great. Patiently awaiting my set.

[FWest]

I have a set comprised of ALfloyd's Lead extrusion, core swage, core seat and a point form from Colt at Edge dies.
I have not made it to the range yet but I will post some results when I do.

point form-

The first few I made compared to a Hornady 2266-

[algunjunkie]

Nice looking bullets you have there.
