Corbin or RCE bullet making set up?

I am not new to making jacketed bullets but it has been a few years since I did it.

I am looking at making 6MM bullets in the 80 to 105 grain range with a flat base 6S ogive for my own use and to supply to friends. The main reasons is satisfaction and pride in making my own. Cost savings is secondary and not relevant.

Are the dies and swage presses capable of making bullets as accurate as the A-Maxes and the 107SMK's?

Any input is appreciated.

Best,
Bruce
 
That depends on your attention to detail….Must have good components, adopt procedures and follow them to the letter….Making Bench-rest Bullets is a laborious, boring, time consuming job…I have made 30’s since 1999 and my dies will make up to 150gr, currently 118’s for my 30BR….The 6’s I make 66 & 80 gr., not sure just how far they will go …I have 3 RCBS RC’s set up for this and the dies are Blackmon…What I make on my steel dies has been matched to bullets made on the best dies…Test after test they look and shoot as good… Rick
