The BULLET SWAGE MANUAL, T. Smith, 1976, 45 pgs.
|
|
|
|
This book is one of the earliest works on bullet swaging, written
|
|
by a pioneer in the field. Many of the illustrations are of early
|
|
Corbin swaging tools. The book is intended as a primer for beginners,
|
|
but belongs in any complete library of swaging as a historical work.

|
|
|
|
This book gives a detailed chapter by chapter discussion of
|
|
specific calibers and how to make bullets for them. Included are
|
|
obsolete, foreign, current centerfire rifle and handgun calibers, in
|
|
fifteen chapters. In addition, there is an experimental .375 design
|
|
with loading data, chamber dimensions, and test results. A wealth of

The CORBIN TECHNICAL BULLETINS, Volume III 1983, 106 pgs.
|
|
|
|
Experimental work with custom bullets, the rise of the survivalist
|
|
movements, and concerns about the future supplies of bullets in the US
|
|
and abroad brought a flood of technical articles addressing these
|
|
subjects. Original papers and translations from trade journals are
|
|
included. Bonding and heat treatment of jackets, manufacture of copper
|
|
tubing bullets, and hunting bullets are covered in detail.

|
|
POWER SWAGING, D. Corbin 1984, 195 pgs.
|
|
|
|
Also known as Corbin Technical Bulletins, Volume IV, this is the
|
|
bible of commercial bullet making. It is filled with data on pressures,
|
|
forces, and die strength, calculations, charts, computer programs, and
|
|
photos. Hundreds of dollars worth of dies were destroyed to test the
|
|
limits of the formulae, and photos of these are included as well.
|
|
The book serves as an operator's guide for the Hydro-press,
|
|
although it also covers several earlier models of air and hydraulic
|
|
power presses that are no longer manufactured. Two very valuable
|
|
chapters deal with organization of a custom bullet business, and with
|
|
the numbers involved in production volume. Marketing, promotion,
|
|
feasibility studies, and selection of a product line are written so
|
|
they can be understood by a beginner, yet interesting enough to attract
|
|
experienced engineers.

at gunsmithing schools. You'll find detailed, accurate information
|
|
arranged in twenty-two chapters, covering everything from lubricant to
|
|
lead, pressure to press design, history of swaging (including original
|
|
letters from Biehler and Astles, Fred Huntington, and Capt. G.L.
|
|
Wotkyns at critical points during the 1940 to 1960 period) and just
|
|
about anything else you might care to know about swaging. If you only
|
|
want one book, make it this one.

The WORLD DIRECTORY of CUSTOM BULLET MAKERS
|
|
|
|
Data has been collected from all over the world for a decade on
|
|
bullet markets, and the people who are active in the custom bullet
|
|
field. If you are looking for a certain caliber -- modern, obsolete,
|
|
wildcat, foreign, or experimental -- this is the sourcebook for people
|
|
who can make it! Articles of interest to experimenters, purchasing
|
|
agents, engineers, and ballisticians as well as those who might wish to
|
|
enter the custom bullet field as suppliers are included.
|
|
Editors, writers, and publishers of firearms journals around the
|
|
world have a copy of this book for reference. Buyers in government and
|
|
industry, defense agencies and law enforcement operations, game control
|
|
commissions, ballistic labs, and applied science libraries can turn to
|
|
the sources listed to find out who makes what.
|
|
Corbin customers who are selling bullets commercially are invited
|
|
to write for a free listing in the book's next edition. Advertising
|
|
space is periodically available to qualified firms. Agencies dealing
|
|
with firearms-related suppliers should check out the tremendous market
|
|
exposure this book gives.

The CORBIN HANDBOOK and CATALOG of BULLET SWAGING, No. 7
|
|
|
|
You are reading a copy now! If you would like additional copies
|
|
for friends, order directly from Corbin. This is the seventh edition:
|
|
it is not the seventh book of the collection, or the seventh year,
|
|
since Corbin has been in business much longer than that. We publish a
|
|
new edition whenever the information becomes outmoded and continued
|
|
editions of the same book begin to lose their relevance to newer ideas.

The Corbin IMMEDIATE DELIVERY LIST
|
|
|
|
This is a list of dies available for immediate delivery. Since
|
|
Corbin dies are all hand-made products, individually diamond lapped and
|
|
fitted, there can be a considerable backlog on certain calibers from
|
|
time to time. The Immediate Delivery List tells what is on the shelf
|
|
right now. It changes from month to month, and is not a guarentee but
|
|
only a temporary listing. If you see something you want, call
|
|
immediately and use your VISA/MASTER-CHARGE card to have it shipped
|
|
right away. (Sorry - no holding for future payment! Demand is just
|
|
too high to tie up products in this manner.)
|
|
This list is free for the asking, when ordered with other
|
|
literature or products. Included with most shipments is also our
|
|
current price list, any specials we may have on supplies or products,
|
|
announcements of new books or computer software, etc.

CORBIN COMPUTER SOFTWARE
|
|
|
|
Now you can design bullets quickly, easily, with Corbin's DC-1001
|
|
Bullet Design program. All you need to know is the weight and style of
|
|
bullet you want to make -- the program asks these simple questions, and
|
|
then calculates the ballistic coefficient, form factor, average
|
|
density, stable twist rate, core and jacket volumes, core weight, over-
|
|
all length, length of ogive and length of shank, and a number of other
|
|
parameters of importance to makers of commercial bullets.
|
|
If you don't know what to answer, the program supplies a standard
|
|
default value. You can just hit the "enter" key, and run the
|
|
calculation automatically with all default values if you wish, to see
|
|
how it works. You need absolutely NO math background, NO experience in
|
|
bullet design or ballistics. Automatic tables appear on the screen for
|
|
each question that requires some special knowledge, and the program
|
|
checks your input to see if it is reasonable. If not, it gives you
|
|
another chance to input a value, or just hit return and let the program
|
|
supply a value.
|
|
There is no way you can "mess up" this program. And best of all,
|
|
when you have designed the bullet (which takes perhaps two seconds),
|
|
those values can be printed out, and/or automatically used in a second
|
|
program that is part of the first one: kinetic parameters. You can
|
|
"fire" the bullet at any velocity within reason, see what kind of
|
|
energy density, muzzle energy, momentum, and other values the bullet
|
|
would have. And, you can change one or more parameters and try it
|
|
again to see the effect, all within seconds. The program keeps all the
|
|
values you put in last, and uses them until you change them. If you
|
|
turn off the program, it resets to standard default values so you
|
|
can't "get lost" or forget important standard values.
|
|
The DC-1001 program is currently available on 5-1/4" floppy disk
|
|
for IBM-PC/XT or /AT computers. The program is completely self-
|
|
contained in executable machine code for the 8088 processor, and runs
|
|
at either 4.77 mhz or at accelerated clock rates. Either color or B&W
|
|
monitors will work. All display is in the text mode. The disk is NOT
|
|
copy protected and can be loaded onto your hard disk drive.
|
|
Don't confuse DC-1001 with ordinary external ballistics programs:
|
|
it is not merely an electronic table of values, but a powerful
|
|
calculus-based tool for design of bullets. It is not the same as a
|
|
program that gives you drop and remaining energy for an existing
|
|
bullet, but a way to create new bullets of your own design. You can
|
|
input various densities of core and jacket material, and find out what
|
|
effect aluminum, tungsten, brass, or plastic might have on the bullet
|
|
paramters. You can even select the target material density and find
|
|
out what spin rate would stabilize the bullet in space, in air, under
|
|
water, or in any other media. DC-1001 is a one-of-a-kind program for
|
|
the bullet maker. (To run the program, simply type "Bullets").
