Before Richard retired, I had asked him to make a 50bmg set at some point. When he retired, I figured that was not going to happen. To my surprise and very great pleasure, he recently contacted me to let me know he had a set ready that exceeded my fondest expectations. These dies are for his hydraulic presses or the Corbins hydraulic press. This die set will make copper tubing jackets 1.5", 1.75" or 1.875" long for the 50bmg. It will make flat base or BT .510 bullets 10S ogive. He even included a jacket reducing die to make .500 jackets the same length
Annealed (oxidized) jackets with core seated on left. Cleaned jacket, and bullet on right.

3 die swage set, with jacket maker dies and punches, and BT1 dies and punches. 700gr flat base bullet, 700gr RBT bullet

I am honored beyond words to have this die set. This insures that I can make my own 50bmg jackets and bullets and so can my children and grandchildren.
Thanks Richard
