 Lube | Swage lube reduces friction, preserves die finish; a thin film for each stage. |
| Press | Precision alignment, high power, self-ejection, plus reloading capability! |
| Dies | Standard or custom shapes, calibers; your imagination is the only limit! |
| Cores | Lead wire or core moulds, lead or lead-free: it's up to you! |
| Jackets | The "skin" of the bullet (optional); buy ready made or make your own |
| Options | Enhance design, speed production |
| For step by step info for making any bullet, take a look at the Swaging Steps page. Most flat base or cup base bullets from .12 to .458 caliber, lead or jacketed, in almost any shape and lengths up to 1.3 inches, can be made with this kit, shown below: | |
| 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-4a.)
|
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). |  | CSL-2 | $8 |
| CSL-16 | $35 |
The press you need depends on (1) largest caliber, (2) hardest material, and (3) longest bullet you plan to make.
