Corbin S-Press Jacket Trim Die (ET-2-S)
Precision Trimming for Your Bullet Jackets
Struggling to find jackets that fit your precise bullet specifications? With the Corbin S-Press Jacket Trim Die (ET-2-S), you can easily size your jackets to your exact length and grain weight for your specific application. Say goodbye to the limitations of off-the-shelf jackets and take control of your bullet-making process!
The Corbin S-Press Jacket Trim Die (ET-2-S) is designed to cut jackets to length with exceptional accuracy. This can be used on Corbin Commercial Jackets or other jackets that you may already have on hand. This adjustable die, in conjunction with a Corbin S-Press, allows you to specify the trim length, making it an essential tool for bullet makers looking to ensure their jackets are the perfect fit for their application.
Key Features:
- Adjustable Lengths: The ET-2-S die offers three options for trim length ranges:
- Pistol/Shorter Lengths: 0.375 inches minimum to 1.250 inches maximum.
- Rifle/Longer Lengths: 0.750 inches minimum to 1.625 inches maximum.
- Special Shorter Lengths: Specify minimum length; the range extends +0.875 inches from the minimum.
- Versatile Compatibility: The die is designed to fit into the S-Press and can accommodate various jacket calibers up to .458 inches. This allows you to work with a range of bullet types, ensuring flexibility in your ammunition crafting.
- Custom Fit for Optimal Performance: To achieve the best results, it’s crucial that the jackets drop freely into the die without excessive force. A well-fitted jacket will help prevent deformation during trimming and ensure a clean cut. For optimal performance, consider sending samples to Corbin's for fitting.
- Conical Trim Punch Design: The die features a conical external punch that pinches the jacket against the edge, creating a deep score for easy removal. The scored portion can be twisted or pulled off, depending on the jacket material and thickness.
- Evolution of Design: The design of the external trim punch has advanced over time, now utilizing a sharper conical shape that works effectively across a wider range of materials and jacket calibers.
Important Considerations:
Ensure that your jackets are sized correctly for the die to prevent issues such as wrinkling or uneven trimming. The die's design supports and aligns the jacket, holding it straight against the trimming force, which is crucial for achieving clean, precise cuts. If you are using Corbin Standard Jackets, please specify the jacket in the text box above (ex. J-30-115).
