NSA x Western Big Horn Slug Swaging Press

[Ezana4CE]

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.

I got the same email, my guess price wise is $4500.00. What do you think?

@Dogowski They’re priced starting just under $3900 with no die. The press was built around and accepts Corbin dies.

Very tempting…tell ya what Ez
Let’s split the cost, we will leave the press at your house and you can send me slugs as needed

@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.

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...

Less expensive than i thought!

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!

How many tins of pellets or slugs can i buy for almost five grand including dies? A lot! If i divide 5000 dollars by $25.00 average thats 200 tins. Definitely for the hardcore enthusiast of our expensive sport!

So what does "needing" have to do with it when it comes to airguns?

I don’t know about everyone else, but I personally need my Airguns thank you.

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!

Anyone using the Bighorn Press yet?

I need mine as well! Especially to keep my sanity. Lol

 

[Ezana4CE]

So no one on HAM is using this press? Does anyone know someone using the Big Horn press?
