1. CSP-1 S-Press (comes with free reloading adapter kit)
2. FJFB-3-S 3-die set (specify caliber, shape)
3. LW-10 lead wire (70,000 grain spool, .125 to .365 diam)
4. PCS-1 core cutter w/die to match above wire size
5. CSL-2 swage lube (2-oz, goes a long way)
6. Jackets (not shown); specify caliber, length.

Here is everything you need to make most flat base, open tip or full jacket rifle or pistol bullets in a caliber from .12 to .458 diameter.

All you need to do is specify the caliber (diameter), the shape, and an approximate range of weights. The weight is adjustable with broad limits.

If you have plenty of scrap lead you might substitute a core mould for the lead wire and core cutter. Core moulds are catalog CM-4 for diameters .365 and smaller, which are sizes generally used for calibers of .458 and under in jacketed style bullets.

Every kind of bullet uses Corbin Swage Lube in the swaging process, to prevent sticking, reduce wear, and lower the forming and ejection pressure. Therefore, any "kit" you build will start with CSL-2 (or optionally, larger sizes such as CSL-16, pint size).

The press you need depends on (1) largest caliber, (2) hardest material, and (3) longest bullet you plan to make.

• From .12 to .458 caliber, with material not over Bhn 10 hardness (wheelweight or softer lead), and bullet length of 1.3 inches or less, you can normally use the Corbin CSP-1 S-press or CSP-1H Hydro-Mite press. These presses use Corbin type -S dies as well as standard reloading dies.
  
  
• For calibers from .172 to 1-inch cannon (25mm), with material hardness decreasing with increased diameter from Bhn 12 to Bhn 5, and bullet length not over 2.5 inches, you can normally use the Corbin CSP-2 Mega Mite press (complex finned bullets requiring greater pressure early in the stroke or bullets that need a stroke longer than 3 inches are exceptions).
  
  
• For any caliber, any ductile material of reasonable hardness or powdered materials (solid copper may require pre-drilled center hole), and any reasonable bullet length, you can normally use the Corbin CSP-2H Hydro Junior, or CHP-1 Hydro-Press. (Corbin builds custom remote control presses for up to 40mm artillery assembly/disassembly, restricted to US DOD applications).

The dies you need must (1) fit the press, and (2) fit the bullet style and caliber.

• If you selected the CSP-1 or CSP-1H press, you want type -S dies.
  
  
  
• If you selected the CSP-2, CSP-2H, or CHP-1 press, you want type -H dies.
  
  
  

Choose the TYPE of dies, and then select the SET you need...

The core needs to fit either (1) the I.D. of your chosen jacket, or (2) the bore of the die for lead bullets.

If you use a jacket on your bullet, it can come from these sources:

1. Purchase Base Guards(tm) or make with BGK-1
   
   
2. Make your own Gas Checks with GCM-1
   
   
3. Purchase Corbin jackets
   
   
4. Use copper tubing with CTJM-1
   
   
5. Use copper strip with JMK-1 or JMK-2

Accessories enhance the performance of your bullet or make production easier and faster. Here are some popular accessories:

• Serrator Dies. These come in two types, full length (SDD-1) or ogive only (SDD-2). The full length type cuts fine grooves in the OD of the jacket and then irons the ridges raised by this furrowing operation back to size again. The ogive-only die is more complex: it serrates the jacket after the core is seated, and ejects the jacket back out again, so a variable length of the nose section can be serrated.
  
  
• Jacket Trim dies come in two types, the ET-1 adjustable trimmer, and the ET-2 automatic ejecting trimmer. The ET-1 has a somewhat wider range of adjustment for length, but is somewhat slower to operate. The ET-2 is faster to operate, but is tailored to suit a somewhat less wide range of length adjustments. Both are used to make shorter jackets from longer, drawn jackets.
  
  
• Cannelure Tools place a precise cannelure or serrated groove around the bullet, or can be used in the Lead Knurling or Grooving Tool variations to place lubrication grooves or knurls on lead bullets. Both hand and power machinery is available from Corbin.
  
  
• New Products: Corbin is constantly developing new products for bullet makers. You might want to review the list of press releases to see if there is anything else you'd like to add to your kit, then use your browser "back" option to come back here and finish assembling your kit.
