In that case, you would want a CS-1 and PF-1 (two dies). But if you really don't want one, you can just cut or cast your lead cores as accurately as possible and skip the core swaging step. That is why we include it in the set of three dies as a package. The CSW-1 core swage die is optional but almost everyone who swages accurate bullets wants one. This style has no step or shoulder between the shank and nose, and forms the nose curve in a point forming die, rather than a punch cavity.
50 BMG SUBSONIC ROUNDS FULL
This set is called a FJFB-3 set because it can make a full jacket flat base bullet, among others. Nearly all kinds of bullets can be formed with it, including both lead and jacketed.īullets which have a smooth ogive, or curve, from shank to base (as in a bevel base)or from shank to nose (as in most jacketed handgun and rifle designs) are able to be made in the 3-die set (CSW-1, CS-1, and PF-1). The FJFB-3 3-die set is the workhorse of swaging. To eliminate the shoulder, you need the FJFB-3 set (which just adds the PF-1 point form die to the CSW-1 and CS-1 dies that make up the JWSC-2 set). All of the JSWC-2 style die sets require that you have a shoulder between nose and shank. You can select from various standard nose shapes and base shapes, or you can order a custom nose or base shape (custom tooling cost applies). Or you can do it in a reloading press with the Pro-Swage die. If this is the style you want to make, you can do it with two dies in any Corbin press (the csw-1.htm core swage and the CS-1 core seater). The jacket can be half, 3/4-length or full length but cannot cover more than the full diameter portion (cannot curve around the nose at all). Jacketed Semi-wadcutters have a shoulder between the end of the jacket and the start of the all-lead nose. The combination of the two dies is sold as a JSWC-2 die set. Any set of dies with a core swage and a core seat (CSW-1 and CS-1) included in it can make a lead SWC or WC bullet, with the proper nose and base punch added.


You can also form this kind of bullet in a CS-1 core seat die, which has no bleed holes and thus does not adjust the weight like the LSWC-1 die can do. Examples of these kinds of bullets include: airgun pellets, blackpowder rifle bullets, Minie balls, Foster-type shotgun slugs (HB, SWC nose), pistol wadcutters and semi-wadcutters.Ī lead bullet formed in a single die will have a shoulder between shank and nose, created because this kind of swage die uses a cavity in a punch to create the nose (and the edge of this punch must be of at least.
