BITSNBOBS, I wouldn't say that it gives me a psychological advantage, other than I know that I'm not putting a possible sub par pellet in the mix. I don't remember if I mentioned it in this particular video, but in an Exact JSB 8.44 grain tin, I've found weights between 8.07 grains on the low side, up to 8.74 grains on the high side. That alone will, or could give me a miss on a 55 yard Field Target. Add inconsistent head size into the equation, plus a larger/smaller skirt size as well, and you could possibly have pellets out of the tin, if not sorted, vary more than 50 FPS. That's a large number to be off, particularly when a decent wind is involved. I would say by me sorting them in this order: first weight, then head size, then skirt size, is my normal regimen for a big match. For a local, or club match, I might not go to those extremes, and sometimes my score shows for it. I would say psychological wise, it doesn't give me an advantage, as much as peace of mind knowing that the pellets that I am using, are culled to almost perfection.

At how many magnifications does ir shoot 50X ???

@@tomatepintor6203 the larger scope has a magnification of 10x to 40x. The smaller scope I used was a fixed 4x.

@Redgum I do not have any dies for a .22 slug. Sorry about not getting back to you, still in moving process. The bleed hole that I do have for my .177 slugs is just around 40 thousandths of an inch.

Razvan, I DO apologize for that, I'm definitely not a cinematographer. I'm in the process of moving right now, once I get established in a permanent place, I'll definitely film this at a higher level. Hope you enjoyed the video, and you got some information about and from it. Thanks for watching my videos.

@@sniperxbow60 I did like the video. Question: On the T Robb video, can you tell me more about that straw thing and how you used it to calibrate the T Robb? More specifically, how do you know what length to cut it? (sorry, got my vids crossed on this question)

@@ramvan2284 , What I did, was find a pellet that was a measured 4.52 in my Pelletgage measuring device. As I said in that video, I cut the skirt off, because I'm only concerned with the head of the pellet. I took the adjustment screw of the TR Robb sizer, and backed it all (or most of the way) out. I glued the straw to the head of the pellet, ( actually, just behind the head), and dropped it in. When the pellet head stops on it's own, due to gravity, I cut the straw off flush with the top of the die. I then placed the top of the die onto the board. I then slowly adjusted the screw, until I felt resistance, but not moving the pellet head. This is now adjusted properly, for future pellets going into the die.

@@sniperxbow60 Ahhhh, now I get it. Thanks again sir. Headed into Extreme Benchrest next week and no time like the present to use this TRobb. You are the man. Peace on you

@@sniperxbow60 We see little controversy in ensuring our bulk pellets don't lead up our bores . And we think you rock for putting out the video . Do you have any thoughts on Hex Boron Nitride for a dry PCP lube ? Subscribed btw . Might be an interesting topic right there . Also since my husband is a bullet caster we are curious about your thoughts on a swage set up from say 17 to 25 grains or so if you have any thoughts on that . Thanks again and best regards , Belinda and Brad .

I ordered it with what you said, and that was it. It was made with the precision that I wanted. You need to be 100% sure that the size you wanted is the size you need.

These particular dies will only fit Corbin swaging equipment. They can make dies for regular reloading presses, but there is an extra step involved. Also, a Corbin press has a greater mechanical advantage over a standard reloading press. This same process in a reloading press is much more difficult, taking much more time and more physical effort

Tiara, I purchase all equipment including the lead wire, through Corbins, in Oregon USA

@@sniperxbow60 how many tin percent of wire??

@@tiaraevaline486 as far as I know, Corbin wire is 99.98% pure lead, no alloys present.

@@sniperxbow60 thankyou for info sir.. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Yes they are, but the last lot that I got after this video was made, had something to be desired in the way of accuracy. Have some supply problems, so I have to wait before I can get more, and do more testing. In the meantime, H&N Field Target Trophy 8.64 grain work pretty good for some of my rigs.

The depth of the hollowpoint punch is fixed, it's determined by the diemaker, it's not adjustable. This hollowpoint is about 3/16 of an inch deep

@@sniperxbow60 ah ok, Tanks for the reply.

@@sniperxbow60 I was curious as the way I see it if you could set the pin depth then.a deeper hollow point would mean less lead so you could then make.a longer more stable slug,

Catherine, if you are interested in swaging your own slugs, at a fraction of Corbins price and long wait times, check out GMI Engineering. They also have a Facebook page, GMI Swaging. The process is slower, several steps are involved, but the end product is superb. You can get 2 different dies for the same price as one Corbin die. Check them out

@@sniperxbow60 Oh wow, thanks👍
