This is an airgun slug forming die to make a hollow point 2-S ogive shape with a cup base. It has NO bleed hole for weight adjustment, and depends on using a Core Swage Die (CSW-1-S) to pre-form the core weight. This takes 2 steps, but the process can make very well formed tips with excellent weight control. You can make either the solid "NSA" type of HP slug, or the hollow ogive "FX" style of slug depending on how you pre-shape the lead core. Using a hollow ogive forming punch in the core swage die will produce a big cavity in one end of the core, which is then gently rolled around to form the nose in this die. No bleed hole is required and indeed, it would collapse the hollow ogive if you tried to squeeze lead out in such a second operation. Using a flat ended punch in the core swage die to preform the core and adjust weight would let you make a solid ogive hollow point slug in this die. So it can be used to make both kinds of slugs. The only differencce between this and the "normal" PF-1-SP slug forming die is that this one does not have a bleed hole. There are only a limited number of these dies available for immediate delivery, but they are available on first come, first served basis until sold out. The proper size of lead wire to use with this die is .210 diameter. You may want a PCS-1 core utter or if you have one, a die insert for it in .210 size. Or if you have plenty of soft clean lead you can use a CM-4a core mold in .210 diameter. Actually you can use a moderately soft alloy with this die, since forcing hard lead through the bleed holes is what breaks the usual kind of die and this one has no bleed holes. You can attempt to swage a harder alloy and if it forms OK without excessive force, good. If it doesn't want to form completely, don't lean on the handle or you can blow up the ie. It is easy to generate 50,000 psi or more inside such a small bore die with fairly mild pressure on the handle of the press, if the press is set up to go all the way to the top where leverage is extremely high. The dies are recommended for use with soft lead because the force needed to make it flow is lower by a considerable amount compared to harder alloys.
