For step by step info for making any bullet, take a look at the Swaging Steps page. Most flat base or cup base bullets from .12 to .458 caliber, lead or jacketed, in almost any shape and lengths up to 1.3 inches, can be made with this kit, shown below:

Specify the caliber (diameter), the shape, and an approximate range of weights. The weight is adjustable with broad limits.

(If you have plenty of scrap lead you might substitute a core mould for the lead wire and core cutter. Core moulds are catalog CM-4a.)

CSP-1 S-Press (comes with free reloading adapter kit)

FJFB-3-S 3-die set (specify caliber, shape )

LW-10 lead wire (70,000 grain spool, .125 to .365 diam)

PCS-1 core cutter w/die to match above wire size

CSL-2 swage lube (2-oz, goes a long way)

Jackets (not shown); specify caliber, length.

Every kind of bullet uses Corbin Swage Lube in the swaging process, to prevent sticking, reduce wear, and lower the forming and ejection pressure. Therefore, any "kit" you build will start with CSL-2 (or optionally, larger sizes such as CSL-16, pint size).		CSL-2	$8
		CSL-16	$35

The press you need depends on (1) largest caliber, (2) hardest material, and (3) longest bullet you plan to make. From .12 to .458 caliber, with material not over Bhn 10 hardness (wheelweight or softer lead), and bullet length of 1.3 inches or less, you can normally use the Corbin CSP-1 S-press or CSP-1H Hydro-Mite press. These presses use Corbin type -S dies as well as standard reloading dies. For calibers from .172 to 1-inch cannon (25mm), with material hardness decreasing with increased diameter from Bhn 12 to Bhn 5, and bullet length not over 2.5 inches, you can normally use the Corbin CSP-2 Mega Mite press (complex finned bullets requiring greater pressure early in the stroke or bullets that need a stroke longer than 3 inches are exceptions). For any caliber, any ductile material of reasonable hardness or powdered materials (solid copper may require pre-drilled center hole), and any reasonable bullet length, you can normally use the CHP-1 Hydro-Press. (Corbin builds custom remote control presses for up to 40mm artillery assembly/disassembly, restricted to US DOD applications). *Choose the press and add this to your kit total...*

Accessories enhance the performance of your bullet or make production easier and faster. Here are some popular accessories:

Serrator Dies. These come in two types, full length (SDD-1) or ogive only (SDD-2). The full length type cuts fine grooves in the OD of the jacket and then irons the ridges raised by this furrowing operation back to size again. The ogive-only die is more complex: it serrates the jacket after the core is seated, and ejects the jacket back out again, so a variable length of the nose section can be serrated.
Jacket Trim dies come in two types, the ET-1 adjustable trimmer, and the ET-2 automatic ejecting trimmer. The ET-1 has a somewhat wider range of adjustment for length, but is somewhat slower to operate. The ET-2 is faster to operate, but is tailored to suit a somewhat less wide range of length adjustments. Both are used to make shorter jackets from longer, drawn jackets.
Cannelure Tools place a precise cannelure or serrated groove around the bullet, or can be used in the Lead Knurling or Grooving Tool variations to place lubrication grooves or knurls on lead bullets. Both hand and power machinery is available from Corbin.
