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.

Sorry, I forgot to highlight that detail. On the end of the regulator, there is a screw that protrudes from the regulator. This is not an adjustment screw, it's just there to fill the threads, and let the air through a little bit slower. The string is tied to this screw, and that's the string you see me tucking in at the end, when the regulator is bottomed out, the string is long enough to extend past the tube. I am tucking the string in before putting the cap on with the Foster fitting. In the future, I won't have to disassemble the entire gun in order to take the regulator out. Just remove the end fitting, fish out the string, and pull out. This is handy if you want to quickly adjust the regulator pressure until it suits your needs.

With the Gen 1 model, a spacer between the valve and the gauge block is not needed. I'm not sure about future models.

Do not understand, please comment in English

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.

I will measure the lead from the bleed hole in a day or two, in process of moving, bit of chaos. I can tell you that Dave Corbin will reccomend the bleed hole size, depending upon how the nose will form of a given caliber,.........or not. My first set of dies had to be sent back, because the bleed hole was too large, and the lead did not flow properly in order to build up pressure to make a perfect nose. Different calibers will also require/need different size bleed holes in order for the lead to flow properly when compressed. I'll take a measurement and get back to you.

@@sniperxbow60 Still waiting for your reply on the bleed hole for a .22 slug

@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.

This is a hollowpoint, the die is a point forming die. The hollowpoint punch is on the bottom of this die, and the base punch is on the top. The only adjustable part of the die is the base part. If you look at my website fieldtargettech.com, you can see better pictures of the hollowpoint nose.

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

Belinda, this is a process that a lot of people do not agree with. As a competitive shooter, I can say it does not hurt. The amount of slag that one finds after washing pellets will be enough to see it makes a difference. Thank you for watching my channel

@@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 .

In particular a system that could utilize our standard RCBS reloading press .

@@belindaclaytor3912 all of my swaging equipment is made by Corbin, including the press. The dies I use in the Corbin press will not fit in any standard reloading press. Corbin does make dies that can be used in a standard reloading press, but particularly with larger calibers, you would physically have a tough time doing it. Corbin presses have a cam like action that makes the process a lot easier than a reloading press. You could probably get away with .177, maybe .22, but not larger. I haven't tried any type of dry lube, and I probably won't, the Krytech and Pledge work well. They actually do dry, as both of these lubes are a true wax.

@@sniperxbow60 Thank you . Fixed income dictates we go with .22 on a std Rock chucker press ,and cast larger projectiles. Thanks again and look forward to your future videos .B&B

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.. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I have not used hBn for lubing. I use either Krytech, Pledge, or nothing. All of my barrels do not necessarily like lube, but many do. In the washing process, I do not notice any skirt deformation, or dings on the heads. I sort them in several different ways, so I know my pellets are all 100% going into the washing and lubing process. I have a cheap, but good Amazon microscope/ high power magnifying glass that I inspect the domes with. I usually only inspect them this way for major Grand Prix matches or nationals.

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,

Yeah, I know....a cinematographer I am not. Have new media equipment, be better next time. If you go to my website, Fieldtargettech.com, the pictures that I have posted show the final result in detail. Thanks for watching.

@@sniperxbow60 okay my friend thanks

Dutch, I use plain white Teflon tape, and a lot of it. Sometimes it will still leak, and might take 2-3 tries. No special trick, just a hit or miss thing. Some guys use a Permatex thread sealant instead (kind of what Crosman uses), but I find it too messy.

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👍

@@sniperxbow60 I couldn’t do it. It takes a lot of time to swage a bunch of slugs on the Corbin… even when your in a grove. Adding more steps and making it slower would suck 😂 It’s plenty fast for personal.. but swaging slugs to sell is almost pointless! But I’d like to see a return on my investment too lol

@@nsboost yes, you are correct. I've spoke to GMI, and I have 2 traditional diabolo pellet swaging molds in the works. Corbin press is great for slugs, but a traditional pellet cannot be made. To make pellets with a skirt, considering pellets are hard to come by these days, I'll take the extra steps to create enough pellets to make it through a weekend 2 day match. These would be for personal use only, too slow of a process for selling.

SOJUSLIM, I get all of my dies and supplies direct from Corbin. They make all sizes, according to your specifications. Only slugs (bullets) can be made, a traditional diabolo skirted pellet design cannot be made with Corbin equipment.
