Well, my press uses the same threading as that of a standard reloading press, I use it to reload with as well. I know that there are quite a few people using the RCBS Rockchucker press to swage their bullets and some of them make tipped bullets as well.
I had to laugh at the hollow point when the ejection punch cut into the air-soft pellet.
Great idea, ever thought about using them in the jacket and forming the tip over the pellet? Or even using them like the "bullet balls" at the rear of the jacket with the lead on top?
Thanks for the reply in the long run it seems more economical and you know whats inside every round. The confidence factor alone is priceless.this companies product after comparison seems to be the best and straight foreward to this process. Am looking foreward to more videos on this subjuct.
Ammsmith and Algunjunkie, you gus are the best! :) I love to watch your guys videos and after watching your guys videos, I have some Corbon dies coming by way. Hope to learn more from you. Thanks!
the r die just goes into a reloading press insted of a swaging press. would this be rugged enough to add polymer tips

so are you using the point forming die to make the point and will a R-type die work for this?
hilton122290 1 year ago
not sure what a "R-type" is but the point forming die is the 3rd of in the set.

I have, but i couldn't get it to stabilize in flight, It was throwing off the center of the bullet and would't shoot at all.

Do you have to go in increments each time or just to get the final adjustment? 5 stars again!
