Swage lube is a crucial component when swaging bullets for two main reasons. First, it provides essential lubrication to reduce friction and heat during the high-pressure swaging process, helping to protect the equipment and ensure a smoother operation. Second, it helps dissipate heat, preventing potential damage to the bullets or swaging dies and maintaining the desired bullet shape and properties. Swage lube is essential for producing accurate and high-quality bullets for various applications.
Typically, you'll find guidelines in the user manual or instructions provided with your swaging equipment. It's important to follow these guidelines to ensure that you're using the right amount of swage lube for your particular setup. In general, you should apply a thin, even coat of swage lube to both the bullet and the inside of the swaging dies. Using too much lube can lead to issues like excessive lubricant buildup, which can affect the quality of the swaged bullets. On the other hand, using too little lube can result in increased friction and heat during the swaging process. To determine the exact amount of swage lube to use, consult Corbin's recommendations or reach out to us directly if you're unsure. We can provide you with specific instructions tailored to your equipment and the type of bullets you're swaging.
Swage lube will ensure that parts will not get stuck together. This can happen between the jacket and a punch, or a die and a jacket. Each situation is differently, but generally you want the punch to release the jacket, and the die to hold onto the jacket so it can be ejected by the ejection pin. If you are concerned about a specific situation, please contact Corbin's customer support.
