Found Slug Press for Vulcan 3 in .3063 caliber

I really wanted to buy the www.presslug.com but at this point they don't make custom sized dies. The Corbin I've just read too much about not always consistent and for as long as they've been around you'd think it would be better.
"FT Airguns
Juan Pablo presslug have better quality, tight fit and the dies holder center to center perfect. The finishing on the dies is awesome.
Corbin is more basic, no micro adjustment and the die don't set straight in the thread. The puncher holder also is not auto centered, you must do a manual alignment"

So I ordered the Thor Slug Press https://thormoldsinc.com/?m=home&c=Lists&a=index&tid=45 and at $950 including the custom sized die in .3063 that's like half of what Corbin or Presslug cost.

I'll Post the results when I get the press and get some shooting in.

Thanks, that has me interested.
Looking forward to your tests.

I'm currently using GMI swage kit and a arbour press. It's ok but limited flexibility on weight.

The Thor set up could be a solution.
Import fees, shipping etc will probably put it out of my budget , EU regulations spoil the hobby.

Hi, where can I order this 3063 press
Thor Press isn't available any longer, I've been following this precision press and it's under $800 I believe and looks better than the Thor Press I have even though I have no complaints on the press I have, this "Precision Press" definitely looks like a better press https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/my-experience-of-new-precision-press.1319852/ and also GMI will make custom sized die. A little more pricey but have heard good things https://www.gmiengg.com/freedom-press-mark-ii
But if you do get a press definitely slug your barrel. I had my die's make in .3063 for my vulcan 4 but it is actually .3055 so the slugs are almost to tight so I will be getting a new die made in .3055
If you have questions regarding GMI touch base with @Engg.Ken
