Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Corbin 22 cal. Bullet Swaging Set

These came from a friend's estate. I have not used them but did shoot a bunch of his bullets. Very accurate they were.




Am trying to navigate their web site to price it but am not very knowledgeable on this stuff. If you are, let me know what I have or shoot me an offer!

I’m interested, let me know if you come up with a price

I sent you a PM.

Dave Brennan prefaced the article with this quote:

" Editor's note: Jonas Hallgrimson was a vital part of the evolution of thought and logic that lead to the development of the Biehler and Astles dies. The B&A bullet-making dies were a great breakthrough in the development of accuracy; they were the fore-runner of todays dies....all of which trace their lineage to B&A.....their development was one of the landmarks of the sport".

Mr. Hallgrimson also included a copy of the B& A catalog, a page of which was included in the article.
BA swage dies

Sorry folks, the dies I had listed as Corbin are not!

These are Biehler and Astle swage dies from the 1950-60 era.
The pic show what a complete set would look for swaging rim fire jackets thru complete bullets.

It appears I am missing the punch holder for the smaller set of punches in the plastic case. This set can be used with commercial jackets or rim fire jackets if you have a derimming die.

The blued shell holder adaptor is being removed from the lot as it won't holder the punches mentioned above. The other punches will fit in a standard reloading press shell holder recess.

I have also located a copy of the instructions for these dies and will include them.
