Corbin vs Presslug

[ZekeZX10]

I was attacked by a sweet potato, had to defend myself

Groups at 100 yards with 62gn Flat base slugs made with Thor Press and a slug after it hit two water jugs

Groups at 100 yards with 62gn Flat base slugs made with Thor Press. Definitely capable of moa groups

Wasting water in the desert, not good but couldn't help myself. Interesting results with 62gn hollow pt slug at 957fps...perfect expansion

Lizard at 100 yards victim of a Thor press 60 grain slug ... Head shot

So, the press is meeting your expectations. Is there any slop or play in it?

No complaints, seems tight. I've made about 600 slugs so far and hasn't developed any play.

Not bad. Thor Molds has another thread with the block type swage. Waiting for them to post up accuracy tests with those to see how it compares to their press.

Sounds good. Can't wait until I get mine.

The shape of the ogive is why, more rounded less narrow

@ZekeZX10 How does altering the ogive affect the projectile diameter? At times are you increasing diameter by one or two thousandths? Or is it possible that the hollow point cavity is smaller or the walls become thicker?

It is more rounded at the top not so narrow. Base of the slug doesn't change diameter it's just the narrowing of the nose. So a 1.5-E Ogive will weigh less than a 1/2-E Ogive given the same length because it has less mass up towards the nose

@ZekeZX10 I’m thinking in terms of hollow points. Does what your saying only apply to round nose projectiles?

No the exact same thing they just have hollow points

@ZekeZX10 I’m missing something here. I’ll review your videos and see if the info I’m lacking is in them.
