Corbin S-Press?

[Toolbox X]

Do any of you reloaders know anything about or have any experience with the Corbin S Press?

At some point I will get a single stage press to compliment my progressive. I've always planned on getting a Rock Chucker but the Corbin S-Press looks awesome. I would like to reload match .308 and .50 Beowulf with it mainly.

If you are not going to be making bullets, the Corbin press is way over built and engineered for normal reloading and even case reforming.
$600 will buy a bench load of good single stage press's which will meet all normal needs including some bullet swaging.
My 50 year old $13 Herters press is still going strong.

You can swag your own bullets with that press.

If you are not going to swage bullets then it is a waste of money. However, if you are looking to load 50 cal you might want to consider a walnut hill from his brother Richard, it is more versital press, a smaller version of the CS2 Mega Mite

From the website:

Easily changed dual stroke leverage system for reloading and swaging.
Instead of just getting the world's best selling swaging press with the longest history of improvements, you are also getting one of the world's most precise and accurately aligned benchrest grade reloading presses! Many benchrest shooters buy the CSP-1 for its great rigidity, precision alignment, and smooth roller-bearing operation...including shooters who do not swage bullets at all. The press changes from 2 inch swaging stroke to 4 inch reloading stroke in seconds, using a single hex key wrench to secure the hardened and ground pivot pin.

Whatever that is worth.

The information is true. I used to read articles of BR shooters (back in the 80's) using that press for very precise reloads. Plus you "must" have a very precise and strong press to swage and create bullets. I've been wanting to buy that press for many, many, many years cuz I wanted to swage/create my own bullets. Actually, when I first learned that you can use spent 22LR cases to make 22 cal bullets, I wanted one. (back then I had AR's before all the BS started) The only thing stopping me was the initial cost of the press and back then, I think I remember 20 rounds of Mil-Surp was only about $3 a box. So the cost of the press, no matter how interesting it seemed, was just too much money for a press just to make 22 bullets. Especially since I already had the equipment to cast my own bullets from lino-type and wheel weights.
