I got an email today about this hydraulic slug press. It's said to work with Corbin dies. Swages .177 - .50 slugs. For $3900 you can get in on a pre-order for a NSA x Western Big Horn slug press.

@c.wallace_06 That might work. You buy the dies you want and I'll supply mine, but I'd like you to buy the first 5 years worth of lead wire.Very tempting…tell ya what Ez

Here's a HAM write-up on the Big Horn Press

Western Airguns Big Horn Bullet Press
The Western Airguns Big Horn Bullet Press is a new introduction from the company. And it will be available next month – in mid March 2025. This electro-hydraulic press allows the owner to manufacture slugs in high volumes without the bicep-expanding, sweat-inducing effects of operating a manual...

Honestly the Corbin S press is just fine. And it is much quieter as well. There is nothing wrong with the simple pull down handle.
Cool unit, but for $4000 for the unit with no dies.....add another $1k for a complete die set. It can get expensive quickly.

I didn't consider the dies in the pricing, so it's more expensive than i thought after all!
dont forget you still have to acquire the lead.
I like the idea of this but not sure its something I need LOL.
So what does "needing" have to do with it when it comes to airguns?
thats where the wife comes into the picture. : )So what does "needing" have to do with it when it comes to airguns?

I have my corbin set up to control the weights and quality of my ammo. You can REALLY fine tune your slugs if you want to. Heck you can get crazy and shoot a 30 grain slug..... then look at 30.1, 30.2, 30.3 etc and get really dialed in with your specific rifle.
Lead is honestly quite cheap, I tend to stick with the Corbin lead as it seems softer than the NSA lead. I know NSA claims that they use pure lead, but if I make some slugs the EXACT weight as some NSA .... there are NSA slugs that refuse to load into certian rifles, but the Corbin lead has no issues.
I think I have around 50 lbs of lead coil and wire sitting in my work room. And with 10 lbs of lead per coil that is a TON of slugs!
