Note from Dave Corbin:
The volume of calls I get every day makes it inevitable that many people will not be able to reach me in person without a number of trys. I appologize in advance but I find that 99.9% of the questions are already answered better, in more detail, here on this website, with photos and examples and prices. Usually, the question is this: How do I get started and how much does it cost? Of course, I can't answer that without knowing what you want to make. So I ask the same questions that are found on the "How to build a swaging kit", or "How to see prices" choices, right above this box! Then I read the same answers you can read for yourself, right here, depending on the caliber and specifics of your bullet design. In brief, any bullet from .120 to .458 diameter, that is 1.3 inches long or shorter, and is made of normal jacketed or unjacketed lead or powdered metals, can be swaged using the -S type dies and the CSP-1 S-press. Any bullet that is longer, made of harder materials, or larger in diameter, can usually be made with the CSP-2 Mega Mite press, or the CHP-1 Hydro Press, with -H type dies. Which set of dies? Depends on the bullet design. I cover all that above. Click the "How To..." above appropriate to what you want to know. Most of the flat base lead or jacketed bullet designs use the FJFB-3-S 3-die set, or the FJFB-3-H 3-die set. Here's the easy way to get all your questions answered at your leisure, even if my phone is so tied up with callers that you can't get anything but the answering computer (don't we all hate that? YES! But what choice do I have, since they have not figured out how to clone me???)... simply take a deep breath, and click one of the above options if your questions are on how to make a bullet, what it costs, and what you need. You will find it above. It will take a little while because there are SO many options...I've been developing this equipment for people for over 40 years now. There isn't a bullet you can imagine for which we have not made tools! Or if there is, we can probably do it anyway. If you want to find some specific item, use the SEARCH box. Type in a key word or phrase such as "reloading press", or "paper patch" or "50 BMG" or "Subsonic". That will bring up pages that talk about these matters, and you can usually locate what you want if you glance through these. Please don't feel you have to memorize all the terms or read everything. Just focus on the kind of bullet you want to make. That will eliminate 90% of the need to look at other pages. For an even quicker but less detailed view of equipment and prices, look at SwageDies.com, which is our on-line webstore. It is ideal for browsing. You don't have to buy anything to use it to accumulate a shopping cart with a total of things in it to get a quick "quote". Bear in mind that most bullets use these things:
