  • With the popularity and expense of slugs, one should consider the all in one kit that AirForce Airguns and Rapid Air Worx (RAW) sells online. Not only can you create multiple calibers, but also sizes and weights that will be perfect every time. Thus allowing you to test a variety of options for your specific airgun at a fraction of the cost of buying samples.

    Built My Own with a Harbor Freight Arbor press a small engine lathe and $40 worth of stainless and brass, all total cost me about $250.... these fancy CNC-built presses should only cost about $350 all total this pricing is ridiculous

    I saw this at SHOT SHOW and it was exciting but it's very cool to see you use it. Thank you!

      You will notice that 'Airgun Advisor' will not even hint at defending the notion of price gouging...

  • @gumbystown
    @gumbystown Před 2 měsíci +5

    So you're going to need multiple dies with multiple different waist size for your slugs to try

    the price gouging on these presses are shameful

    Just a little constructive criticism. The center hole for the core cutter should be offset not directly above the adjuster. What winds up happening when you cut the cores sometimes the core does not fall. Therefore, you will cut another one squishing the one below it. Which therefore will not fit in the dye properly, Also, just a tip, you should use a small pair of vice grips on the adjuster to keep it from backing out. This is only for the core cutter. If I could leave a photo on here, I would to demonstrate. Again that center hole is for 22 caliber cores, which is the most common airgun projectile to shoot.

      It really is! Opens up a lot of possibilities with accuracy and matching slugs to each platform.

      That why I reviewed it. Adds a whole new level to explore with airgun accuracy.

    Great video. In. Way the adjustment looks is like a swing lock die, but that is a push thru caliber specific item. Unlike Lee sizing die it's adjustable.
    It's also the complete inverse.the top makes the heel n the "top punch" makes the nose
    Like the waste lead removal journel

    I had my eye on this for a long time but not any more. Reason? It is purposely too expensive and not easy to find your chosen subcalliber (was looking for 5.52). I resulted to casting at 35.7 and 37.8 gr on average, 8 slugs per time and then weight shorting. At approx 150€ /mold it was more cost beneficiary to cast slugs than to purchase (I use them to fully auto and semi auto LCS sk 19 and huben GK1). For my target shooters I use purchased ammo.

  • @williamhensley5726
    @williamhensley5726 Před měsícem

    I am curious as to why they didn't make it to work with a standard single-stage press for a regular reloading press it could be a nice product in time but way too expensive for what it is right now. Nice Video

    Would be nice to show how tou can do different light slugs with sharp tip and boat tail with the same hardware or some add-ons

    • @AirgunAdvisor
      @AirgunAdvisor  Před 2 měsíci +1

      That is as easy as swapping out the die for another available one. Not sure those are options at this time.

    • @Brianbri-nq3cc
      @Brianbri-nq3cc Před měsícem +2

      $900 dollars per die and that's IF the third party seller is willing to put you on the 6 to 8 month waiting list in order to purchase one. This press is ok, BUT the dies are virtually impossible to find because they're proprietary from some third party seller overseas😞

  • @kevintravis2154
    @kevintravis2154 Před 2 měsíci +2

    Nice job. The cost of equipment to start is too high. You need to make around 10,000 slugs before you get back your investment for 1 caliber. I will just buy my slugs. Not sure would shoot 10,000 slugs in my lifetime

  • @unclejim2330
    @unclejim2330 Před měsícem

    Why not cast with molds instead, no wasted lead.

  • @JoseSantos-jd3dn
    @JoseSantos-jd3dn Před 2 měsíci +1

    they dont have 22 caliber for sell. and i think they will not have it again in stock here in europe.
    only 177, 25, 30 and 35.
    the slugs are perfect, always same weight. 50gr .25 RA4 952fps bc 0.125 validated at 600 meters 40cm by 40cm gong with m3 impact.
    better only altaros slugs

    • @Brianbri-nq3cc
      @Brianbri-nq3cc Před měsícem +1

      Good luck finding one😂👍 Plus they don't even make their dies, some third party person in Europe makes them and it takes around 8 months to get a die at $900 each sadly and they're proprietary to that one press.

  • @Brianbri-nq3cc
    @Brianbri-nq3cc Před měsícem

    It would be nice if this company ever had these presses in stock or service them by this being an overseas company, nor do they make the dies that goes to them because they are made by a third party that charges $900 for (1)ONE die IF you're ever able to order them from overseas😔 These are ok but I chose Corbin s-press here in the U.S. for half of what this company charges. Nice review tho👍

    i am a machinist and presslug as a company is over charging all of their customers with the 300% profit margin this is the reason americans buy chinese because they cant afford american this entire set up should be about 350 to 400 bucks and have atleast 2 caliber die sets for that price im sorry i have to make my own because as a machinist i cant afford the rediculous prices i mean you can buy dies for rifle or pistol brand new for less than 50 bucks and the pistol dies are carbide yes i know the dies are for working brass cases but the machining process for brass sizing and lead swaging are the same so we all know it can easily be done so quit screwing the american customers PLEASE its why americans do not buy american because american companies charge indivudual people like they are buying a press for commercial use

    Who ever priced this needs slapping with a wet fish, that price is ridiculous.
    I'd prefer to just pay £10 for a tin a time it really doesn't add any value at that price for anyone.... It's one way to price yourself out the market 🤔

    So you need about 2500.00 USD to make your own slugs?.....I think "IF" and "WHEN" I need a slug I will simply just grab a .22LR or a .22 WMR and be done with it. Way too costly to make your own slugs. Honestly embarrassing that they could even ask this much for what it is.

      Depends on the twist and fit. Buddy gets bug hole groups at 50 with them.
