Note from Dave Corbin:
![]() How do I get started and how much does it cost? To find prices, just select any of the labels or symbols that say "Secure Shopping Cart", "Order Now", or "See Prices". Every page has a "navigation box" at the top, and the right side has a padlock symbol that says "Secure Shopping Cart". Just select it. All prices and products are on that secure site. Or select my picture and I'll take you right to the web store main page! But first, you ought to know a little about swaging and the terminology, so you know what to look for... prices only matter if you can use the product you are looking at! This is a new field to most handloaders, which will require a bit of new knowledge. Here is how to get it: Look at all the blue rectangular buttons on this page, and note what they say. Each one has a topic, such as "what is swaging?", "What do I need?", "What's it called?". You need to know these things before the rest makes much sense, as with any new field. To save time and money, you need to know a little terminology that describes important components and operations. You need to at least be aware of what things are called before you can understand the instructions of what to get and how to use it. Take a little time to read those things before diving into the details! Please note that, unlike reloading dies, the caliber doesn't affect the process, the tooling, or the prices except in broad ranges. The same kind of tools and procedures that work for a 9mm pistol bullet apply to a .308 rifle bullet, and the same procedures and kind of dies that make airgun pellets also make shotgun slugs, muzzle loader bullets, and lead pistol bullets. Look at the style and shape, rather than specific diameter, to determine what you need. Pin it down to caliber after you've figured out what makes the style and shape of bullet desired.

![]() I encourage you to use the web store because it is faster, very safe, and doesn't get "lost in the mail" or incorrectly heard over the phone (too many guns going off by my ears without hearing protection, during my days in the Navy, back in the 60's!). Also, the web store is there 24/7, takes no days off and doesn't step out to lunch... you can ALWAYS place an order there, which will be reviewed carefully before it is filled. | ||||||||||

In brief, any bullet from .120 to .458 diameter, that is 1.3 inches long or shorter, and is made of normal jacketed
or unjacketed lead or powdered metals, can be swaged using the -S type dies and the CSP-1 S-press.
Any bullet that is longer, made of harder materials, or larger in diameter, can usually be made with the CSP-2 Mega Mite press, or the CHP-1 Hydro Press, with -H type dies. Which set of dies? Depends on the bullet design. Click the blue label, above, appropriate to what you want to know. Most of the flat base lead or jacketed bullet designs use the FJFB-3-S 3-die set, or the FJFB-3-H 3-die set. Here's the easy way to get all your questions answered at your leisure, even if my phone is so tied up with callers that you can't get anything but the infuriating answering system... ... just select one of the above options, to answer your questions on how to make a bullet, what it costs, and what you need. You will find it above. It may take a little time because there are SO many options...I've been developing this equipment for people for over 45 years. There isn't a bullet you can imagine for which we have not made tools! Or if there is, we can probably do it anyway. If you want to find a specific item, use the SEARCH box. Type in a key word or phrase such as "reloading press", or "paper patch" or "50 BMG" or "Subsonic". That will bring up pages that talk about these matters, and you can usually locate what you want if you glance through the list. Don't feel you have to read everything. Just focus on the kind of bullet you want to make. That will eliminate 90% of the need to look at other pages. For an even quicker but less detailed view of equipment and prices, look at SwageDies.com, which is our on-line webstore. It is ideal for browsing. You don't have to buy anything to use it to accumulate a shopping cart with a total of things in it to get a quick "quote". | ||||||||||
