FRBL-6-S is a matched set of dies for a given
caliber and ogive shape, that can make flat bases, RBT base,
open tip, or lead tip bullets.
For flat base open tip, you
would use only the CSW-1-S, CS-1-S, and PF-1-S (core swage,
core seater, and point former).
For flat base lead tips, you would follow the above three
dies with a LT-1-S lead tip former (which is a finishing
die to put the final shape on the very tip of an exposed
lead bullet).
For RBT (rebated boattail) open tips, you would set aside
the CS-1-S core seater and instead use the BT-1 and BT-2
dies to seat the core into the jacket. The BT-1 shapes
a conventional boattail angle on the base while you are
seating the lead core into a normal flat base jacket. The
BT-2 forms the gas-sealing and muzzle blast deflecting
shoulder between the bullet shank and the boattail. You would
also substitute the provided RBT point forming external
punch for the flat ended one to push the bullet into the
point form die.
For a lead tip rebated boattail, simply follow the above
steps with the LT-1-S lead tip forming die. Lead tips mean
the lead core is seated closer to the jacket mouth, so a
different core seating punch may be required in some
jackets, depending on how much taper is in the particular
jacket wall. Some jackets are straight walled (such as the
tubing jackets) and others have a pronounced taper from
base to tip. Since the core seating punch needs to seal
the pressure at the point where the core is being seated
in the jacket, the diameter of the punch may have to be
changed (different punch) if the core is seated deeply or
brought closer to the open end (longer core, heavier
weight).
SEE TIP DESIGN INFORMATION
- Open tip = core is shorter than the jacket, so bullet has little or no exposed lead when ogive is formed.
- Lead tip = core is longer than the jacket, so bullet has exposed lead tip when ogive is formed.
- Open tip Hollow Point = core is shorter than jacket, and the external seating punch has a conical projection poking a hole in the core.
- Lead tip hollow Point = core is longer than jacket, and the externl seating punch has a conical projection poking a hole in the core.
Note that when people say "hollow point" they sometimes confuse this with "open tip". The "open tip" is the default style, the one you get if you don't specify other kinds of punches. The "open tip" seating punch MUST be a very snug fit into the bullet jacket, often too large to fit by hand pressure alone. The diameter depends on the jacket wall thickness at the point where the core wil be seated. That is, a tapered jacket wall gets thicker toward the jacket base, so a short or light core will require a smaller diameter open tip punch compared to a longer, heavier core. Jacket samples or specific dimensions would be rquired for jackets other than those provided by Corbin (we know our own jacket wall thickness).
IF you order without any special note to tell us otherewise, we will assume that your standard, open tip punch fits our jacket and your core weight will be such that the core is seated relatively close to the open jacket end. If you then try to make a much lighter bullet, with a shorter core, the open tip seating punch provided will be too large for seating at that depth in some jackets (those with much of a taper to the wall). You can order additional core seating external punches to fit if you send us a sample jacket and the weight of core you plan to use (or if you are using our jackets, just tell us the weight or the length of the core you plan to use),
Please note that a LT punch, or a LT-HP punch, does not fit into the jacket ID. It is sized to fit into the die bore. Therefore, the jacket you use with a LT punch or LT-HP punch does not matter to the punch diameter. Only the OT or the OT-HP punches fit into the jacket ID, and must be properly sized for the jacket wall thickness.
