Corbin 50 BMG Primer Pocket Swage Tool
Efficiently Prepare 50 BMG Cases for Reloading
The Corbin 50 BMG Primer Pocket Swage Tool is meticulously engineered to facilitate the reloading process of 50 BMG cartridges by effectively removing military primer pocket crimps. This tool ensures that new primers can be seated securely, contributing to the reliability and consistency of your reloads.
Key Features:
- Effective Crimp Removal: Designed to swage military primer pocket crimps, allowing for the easy insertion of new primers. While some cases may require additional reaming, this tool generally performs the swaging operation effectively on its own.
- Adjustable Punch Depth: Features an adjustable punch that projects above the shell holder's inner surface. The punch tip is designed to enter the primer pocket by approximately 0.210 inches when the press ram is fully depressed. Initial setup may require a few trial adjustments to achieve optimal swaging depth.
- Press Compatibility: Intended for use with Corbin's CSP-2 Mega Mite Press and CHP-1 Hydro Press. The tool integrates seamlessly with these presses, utilizing the SH-50 shell holder and the PT-50-H primer tool (which includes an SH-50). It's essential to verify thread compatibility, as some 50 BMG dies may have different thread specifications.
- Operational Mechanics: The tool is mounted in the press ram and utilizes a retraction pin mechanism to withdraw the punch after each stroke. A knock-out bar passes through the press ram, ensuring the punch head rests correctly, facilitating efficient swaging operations.
How the Product Works:
By integrating the Primer Pocket Swage Tool into your reloading setup, you can process 50 BMG cases by swaging the primer pockets to remove factory crimps. This preparation allows for the reliable seating of new primers, enhancing the performance of your reloads.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Corbin 50 BMG Primer Pocket Swage Tool:
- Tool Installation: Securely mount the Primer Pocket Swage Tool into the ram of your Corbin CSP-2 or CHP-1 press.
- Punch Adjustment: Adjust the punch length using the threaded head and lock nut so that the punch tip projects approximately 0.210 inches into the primer pocket when the press ram is fully depressed. Perform initial test swages and fine-tune as necessary.
- Case Preparation: Ensure all cases are deprimed before processing. Insert a deprimed 50 BMG case into the shell holder, ensuring the rim's top surface aligns with the shell holder's top
- Swaging Operation: Lower the press ram fully to swage the primer pocket crimp. The punch will enter the primer pocket, removing the crimp. Raise the ram slightly to retract the punch, then remove the swaged case and repeat the process for subsequent cases.
