Corbin Magnum Core Cutter (PCC-2)
Precision Tool for Cutting Larger Lead Wire Diameters
The Corbin Magnum Core Cutter (PCS-2) is a robust tool engineered for cutting larger lead wire diameters, specifically .390 and .430 inches, into precise lengths for bullet manufacturing. This cutter ensures consistent core weights, enhancing the quality and performance of your ammunition.
Key Features:
- Material Compatibility: Designed for use with a variety of materials. This cutter can make quick work of core cutting. With a larger lever arm that the smaller Precision Core Cutter (PCS-1), the Magnum Core Cutter will tackle a variety of materials with its shear cutting action.
- Design and Operation: The PCS-2 features a pair of dies with flat edges, facilitating a clean and perpendicular cut. The tool mounts securely to your reloading bench, allowing for straightforward operation without the need for additional handles. An adjustable stop screw enables precise control over cores length.
- Versatility: While optimized for .390 and .430-inch lead wire, the PCS-2 can accommodate smaller sizes, making it adaptable to various bullet designs.
- Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of regular use, ensuring longevity and reliability.
- Safety Considerations: This can cut hard material, so please be careful to never place your fingers inside the dies, or in other pinch point locations during the operation of the cutter. When not in use please store the handle in its stowed position.
How the Product Works:
The Corbin Magnum Core Cutter is designed to cut lead wire into precise lengths, ensuring consistent core weights for bullet manufacturing. By feeding the lead wire through the dies and adjusting the stop screw, users can achieve the desired core length with precision. The flat edges of the dies facilitate a clean and perpendicular cut, which will reduce potential issues with your internal and external punch features like hollow points.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Corbin Magnum Core Cutter:
- Mount the Cutter: Secure the PCS-2 Magnum Core Cutter to your reloading bench or a stable surface.
- Install the Dies: Place the appropriate dies into the cutter, ensuring they are properly aligned and that the cutting faces are coincident.
- Adjust the Stop Screw: Set the stop screw to the desired core length, ensuring it touches only half of the wire diameter to prevent dragging.
- Feed the Lead Wire: Insert the lead wire into the cutter, allowing it to pass through the dies. Gravity works well here and can assist in rapid core cutting if mastered.
- Cut the Cores: Move the handle back and forth to cut the wire into the desired core lengths.
- Collect the Cores: Remove the cut cores and proceed with the next steps in your bullet manufacturing process. A small tin below the cutter will act as a great catch all.
Additional Products Available:
- LRXXX-10 Lead Wire: High-quality lead wire available in various diameters to match your specific needs.
- PCS-1 Precision Core Cutter: An alternative core cutter designed for smaller lead wire diameters, ranging from .100 to .365 inches.
- PCS-1D Die Inserts: Custom die inserts for the PCS-1 Precision Core Cutter, allowing for different wire sizes.

The PCC-2 features an adjustable stop screw that allows you to set the desired core length with precision. By adjusting the position of the stop screw, you can control the length of the cut cores.
The PCC-2 can cut cores as short as 1/2 inch in length, which is the thickness of the half-inch steel lever. For shorter core lengths, the PCC-1 Precision Core Cutter is recommended.
Yes, additional die inserts (PCC-2D) are available for different wire sizes within the .185 to .500-inch range. These can be purchased separately to accommodate various bullet designs.
