Looking for feedback! The manual hand press that takes the large dies that also fit the hydro press is what I am interested in the most. Looking at starting with making Scenar style .338LM 250gr and 300gr bullets as well as .50BMG match bullets to start.

Anyone using this equipment pro's and con's quality ease of use. I do have a mechanical fab/machinist background. Thanks
 
Re: Swaging with Corbin Press

I used Richard Corbins equipment and some of Dave's presses. They really about the same, but Dave's is much more expensive.
Where are you going to get the jackets? or are you going to swage your own, I made .50 jackets using copper tubeing, let me tell ya it was a pain to do. Had to get a chop saw from Corbins and it was a pain. R/ Mike
