New Slug press in market

[Hamdanali89]

This video of comparing presses is mine
i have there types of press
the first one is NS press you can find it in youtube the second one is Thor mold and the last is precision mold press

the NS press can give you really good results but without consistent
the Thor mold not worth the lead that you will test it, however the holder is very weak the Handel facing you so not easy to operate also the accuracy is bad for 30-40meter range i try it for two month the i stop I used it as a stone to hold the door of my garag.

the precision i use it know for all my calibers size giving good consistency results for longe range


The idea of having press to design slug without hollo point to use it in hunting to reduce damage , as well as like to shoot long range.

I don't want to violate the rules of this forum by making illegal propaganda, but I participated in it for my opinion of many of my pictures in this forum.

I’m not sure why there is a picture of the atp’s in the post. The slugs produced by swaging will typically have a rebated boat tail due to the nature of swaging. The ones in the actual video have a rebate.

Not really an issue, just wondering why the picture of the atp’s.

The atp’s i use it to bu fishing rods
i was trying to remove small mark of the non hollow point design that it and it’s not good
just use it directly from the press without lubrications as well

here is results shooting this 34gn 5.51mm in 50 meters

 

[Hamdanali89]

So... their coping altaros design...
I don't see this ending well.

No this is not coping altaros the same die only make it without hollow point and boat tail altaros has different R and design

i use Corbin boat tail

Thank you for the explanation. It appears your slugs are performing well.

2 problems with the Thor Press. 1st, die is .21865 and punches are all @ .2177, so this leads to trimming every stinking base due to the heavy flashing. 2nd is the slop in the linkage but i had corrected that with custom linear shafts from MISUMI, so now there is zero play and they can be adjusted. It's a shame cause they do shoot very well, but I'm done trimming the bases then resizing. Corbin press is on the way.

Pardon me if this sounds dumb. I have a row of nice presses now and a good drill press. Seems like my trusty rockchucker would be all the leverage needed. Am I missing something? why not just dies? Between the rockchucker, the Dillon, and the MEC I have no more bench space for another press, dies are easy, presses...not so much.

 

[Ta-Ta Toothie]

Corbin is the only one I'm aware of making dies for a reloading press. At least they used to.

@Ta-Ta Toothie , I just got free, The commercial rollout of our GMI Freedom 2 press is complete, Next project is exactly what you've mentioned here. A conversion Kit for RCBS press. Fellow AGN members are part of this program, hopefully I shall get the parts for testing soon. We are going to make it an open source project so anyone can make it, GMI die sets will work on these.

That is great! I think we could have success with dies like that. A lot of the folks here have their feet in both worlds. One of the main reasons I got in to PCP was crazy powder prices, and unavailable primers. Very cool, I shall follow along.

Exactly. Lee swaging equipment has been around forever. I have 3 RCBS "O" presses. When I can find dies for the systems I have I'm all over it!

The lead wire and cutting tool to make the blanks is cool. I think thats the secret to accurate slugs. You could cast blanks if you had the skill and patience but I think it would be worth while to buy the cold drawn wire and cut it to length with an accurate cutting press. From there on out all you should need is dies for a standard reloading press.

 

[Ta-Ta Toothie]

I believe the claim is, most reloading presses are not up to it for prolonged use of swaging. The cycles of swaging vs reloading.

 

[Ricklin]

I can't see anyone wearing out an RCBS Rockchucker, not if they keep a little oil on the shaft. My Lee Pro 1000...ya with ya all the way on that one. Reloading presses can be a mixed bag, the Rockchucker is really popular, and really really tough. Any of the cast iron O style presses as well, plenty strong and no wear if you keep it oiled or greased.

 

[Ta-Ta Toothie]

I have a RC and agree if you take care to grease. This has been a claim probably to make more money buying their presses.

 

[Ta-Ta Toothie]

I'll be more then willing to add a die to my RC if it's worth a dam.

 

[Ta-Ta Toothie]

Others on here and elsewhere that made their own dies for a reloading press sheds light on the matter.

I've been working on an RCBS Rebel conversion that has been doing good. It does need a little more leverage advantage but that is easy to do. I'm trying to figure out which dies make the most sense to fit it with. I want to make it so I can share the info on the how to and have access to dies we all would want.

Building my own Swaging Press

Its time I get on the slug band wagon! I've always been pellet guy, just love them. But seeing the accuracy potential I have got to try it. Being a Prototype shop owner I tend to make what ever I can so I'm happy with the quality of it. I'm starting with an RCBS Rebel press and making the...

Looking forward to your review of the corbin press

Got shipping label conformation, so hopefully I receive it by the end of the week. Can't wait.
