Slugs have become an absolute hype among air rifle shooters in the last 1-2 years! If you watch air rifle CZcams videos in English, you’ll often see shooters using slugs to shoot at long distances, sometimes over 100 yards.
I am gratefull for your support:

I'm interested in purchasing pellet molds
Any dies/jigs for .20 caliber/5mm pellets ?
I have a BENJAMIN 5mm air rifle, and an older SHERIDAN 5mm air pistol. Just wondering if anything is available for them ?🤔
Really interested,how much fir the price
Certainly appreciate English being dubbed over your presentation. Thank You.
After watching Matt Dauber's video on the design and evolution of the "Javelin" 2nd generation slugs, it's clear there's more to creating slugs than just squeezing them out. They ran ballistic and firing tests throughout the process and now have slugs that essentially fit into the same hole at 40 meters. Making them at home seems cool, but if your gun prefers a .05 mm difference in the slug dimensions, you're out of luck on the money sunk into the slug press. But it seems they do sell the slugs alone on the website, so you can try the slugs first in your gun, before investing in the press.
Good luck finding this press😂👍
Good luck affording this press. 1.6K and that is just the press. You will need another 1.9K for a decent setup....3.5K$ for slugs and or pellets at home...I'm good.
@@heathhalfhill6401 100% FACTS👍 I was searching around to find this thing with no luck, then they said that I could order it for that outrageous price WITHOUT any dies at all and I would have to have someone make dies for me😵 I ended up ordering a nice press from Corbin and this thing is sweet!👏
Been testing it for more than a month.
Tried every weight with pure lead and many different alloys. I got Zero accuracy. nothing shoots well.
I contacted them several times, but I got no answer at all.
DO NOT waste your money.

This really means nothing. I made a 32 grain .250 slug in my Corbin press and die. It was TERRIBLE in my rifle at 940 fps. But I turned the rifle up and experimented. At 975fps is sub moad at 100y.
Air gun accuracy is a fickle b**ch. so much comes into play…. That just because you pressed some slugs out and they didn’t shoot, doesn’t mean the slugs are bad.
FYI there are far cheaper options on the market.. and been on the market much longer
@@nsboost I have been casting and swaging for more than 7 years. And as I said above, I tried every weight with every tuning possible.
You are talking about Corbin. Well, guess what, I have other dies that make outstanding slugs.
Go ahead and buy one of these and prove me wrong.
@@AboLailaAlmohalhil I’m not spending $2000usd on a press that does the same thing as other companies $800-$1400 presses lol. This company is flat out of their mind.
@@nsboost I wish it does the same thing. But, actually it does not.
Love your videos!
Any chance you could do a grouping video using these slugs in various airguns? There’s not much about the accuracy results of slugs from this press anywhere..
Looks nice but i believe it costs 2200 for a the complete set without the leadwire, for this price you can buy 50000 knock-outs. Looks to me that money is better spent on a Edgun
Thanks for your visit and your comment :) Wish you a great week!
Bro humy jhy machine 🇵🇰🇵🇰
Is that $2,200.00 US Cash????
@@dadtv9872 yeah E1,899 its nutty
no this would be 2200 euro
How Make your own slugs? Simple: buy machines and tools that make them!" You are a genius! How did I not think of this before?
I always say, if you are going to market slug making equipment, provide slugs you produce, so we can see how they shoot. Otherwise, it is an EXPENSIVE gamble.
2 g for a press
This appears to be a very high quality press. Swaged slugs tend to higher quality through uniform dimensions and weight, generally speaking.
However, I cast my own 30 caliber air rifle slugs and through experience and good quality control (grouping by weight) I can get accuracy results that rival or maybe even exceed a swaged projectile.
I cast then resize each slug by running it through a reloading press with a sizing die. The sizing die decreases over diameter projectiles to a uniform size. I then weight sort the slugs into groups. Each group will weigh .5 grains of each other (for slugs over 100 grain weight). Everything I generally shoot is well over 100 grns. Note: you must lube the slugs prior to sizing. I use a common diy case lube for center fire case resizing. It’s liquid lanolin and isopropyl alcohol. (4:1 isopropyl to lanolin). Anyway you end up with a fairly uniform cast projectile that can be very accurate at 100 yards.
Here is a video of my cast 120 grain .308 slugs Vs Nielsen specialty ammo 120 grain hp slugs shooting at 100 yds. I am shooting a non-regulated but tethered .308 Air Force Texan air rifle. NSA makes great slugs! However, on this day I shot my own cast wheel weight slugs a little better. My 5 shot group was 1.08 MOA @ 100 yards. That’s a group smaller than a golfball in outside weather conditions at 100 yds.

If you could make target compression that will be best for us to compare the value
Swagging slugs is a very precise method of manufacturing slugs.
But it generally is expensive to get started. I cast slugs for 30 caliber air rifle and 22, 38, 9mm, 44 & 45 caliber slugs for firearms.
Casting is much more economical than swaging. However it is more dangerous as you are handling molten lead and fumes produced are hazardous.
Equipment associated with casting bullets will include a lead pot/furnace. I use a Lee lead pot with bottom pour design. Bottom pour means you place the mold under the pot and lift a valve handle to dispense the molten lead into the mold. A Lee lead pot will cost ~$100 (USA).
I purchase my big bore mold from Lee for $30-100 depending the number of cavities and if handles are included or must be purchased separately. For small air gun calibers I use NOE bullet molds. Their molds generally run about $150-180 and will require handles ($30).
NOE produce limited quantities of molds and popular air rifle caliber molds are often out of stock. There are other companies as well.
All that said, casting is relatively easy to learn as there are many videos online that will show you how. You do need a space that is well ventilated. I do my casting outside under a gazebo and also use a fan to maintain safe air flow. You could also setup in a garage or storage building if you have the space available.
Anyway, the point is you can make your own slugs by casting and get started for under $300.
I also size and weight sort my slugs if being shot a distance beyond 50 yds. I use pure lead and also scrap wheel weight lead.
Pure lead is best for hunting as even solid (non hollow point) slugs will mushroom at velocities above 750-800 fps.
Wheel weight lead will also mushroom but not as much as it is a harder lead but still viable for use in air rifles. If you need to penetrate heavy bone, wheel weight lead might be a better option as it will deform less and punch through.
Pure lead just barely out performs wheel weight lead when shooting at 100 yds (accuracy). I have several videos testing pure lead and wheel weight lead out to 200 yds shooting a .308 AirForce Texan. Feel free to check it out. I almost exclusively shoot my own cast bullets out of my Texan 308 air rifle. And I use cast wheel weight lead about 90% of the time. If unfamiliar with the Texan .308 if fires a .309 caliber slug at weights up to 180 grains. The most energy I’ve seen it produce and have on video is 291 FPE using a pure lead 173 grain projectile. I was comparing the rifle’s energy to a 4” barrel 38 spl revolver. Link below:

Thank you so much! Ive been looking for a .22 pellet mold thats affordable for years now and these noe guys do both hunting and target pellet molds.
You are a legend
@@xMrjamjam - thanks for the kind words. Glad NOE had what you were looking for. Hopefully your rifle will like the mold. Unfortunately, I’ve found my rifles don’t like about 50% of the molds I’ve bought. I guess I need to add that critique is based on performance at 100 yards. If shooting closer distances, you may have a higher success rate with mold choice.
Metric, love it so much! Thank you for your video.
So awesome, I guess I will be going further into the rabbit hole!
Thanks a lot mate!
@@AirGhandiWorld no problem glad you have made the effort to do these video's in English, I do appreciate it!
@@jimstewart5008 Thanks a lot! :) There will come much more videos in the future... have lots of rifles and cool stuff here to film ;)
how to avail this machine
The required volume is 5.5 mm
Hi Andi, your video is great and very simple explanied, i have only a question i had a look at the prices and there are WOOOOOW for the cutter and the press € 2200. I shot 6000 to 8000 slugs a year and if calculated right i can shot 240 tins each to 200slugs that is 48000 slugs. what do think? is it a good investment? Best regards from Austria
The presslug is made in an excellent way, what puzzles me is that I have never seen anyone use the slugs produced with this press, how are they on target????
Pure lead is too soft for making slugs and pellets, it needs to be alloyed with antimony in a very precise ratio. How do you know your lead is the correct alloy?
Please learn the difference between comfortable (körperliches Wohlsein) and convenient (vorteilhaft in der Handhabung)
1,813.00 seems to be a lot of money just for a press and 402.00 for the die , that 2,215.00 . That is just not feasible for most people . Can you make something less expensive ? Maybe something in the 500.00 dollar range for both ?
First one found in English dub. Thank for the info Bossman
Been looking at it for few days and saw your video today. I also have L2 450mm in 0.25 cal. and my gun prefers ZAN 35 grain above others. This tool "Presslug" looks amazing but it also costs a lot and before buying such a tool I would like to be able to buy test slugs (like few of each possible that this presslug makes) and to test them before committing to something that perhaps some of the shelf product beats. Love the video, love the tool but please pass the word and give us the possibility to test em!
Thanks a lot Filip for your visit and your comment! Perhaps Presslug themselv could do that. I am just a reviewer, i don´t sell these Presslug or the Slugs itself.
@@AirGhandiWorld yes I know ofc it was just a suggestion to them as a producer it could help with sales. Like 10 pices of each slug that your press can make in the caliber you take. Like 100 or something slugs to test like H&N has. Thank you love your channel!
@@filipkovacec5759 Thanks a lot! I am in conversation since a few days with the producer. I will ask him and give him your idea!
Wish you all the best!
Best regards! Andi
Hola hacen envíos a Argentina?. Gracias
Hola soy de argentina y me interesa la presslug en calibre 5.5 donde se puedo comprar y a qué precio
Turn volume up please.
Its a lot of FAFFING about when you can sit & order slugs on-line at very competitive prices & free delivery. SO, what the point ?
amazing print slug with a very cool tool, greetings bertan from Indonesia🙏🙏🇮🇩🇮🇩
Thanks for sharing the video 👍😊
can you make .45 caliber slugs with this system ?
I don´t know a insert in that caliber for the Presslug. I am sorry :(
@@AirGhandiWorld Well is there a way to make 457 caliber slugs on the market that you know about or would we all be stuck with casting?
Love your videos
That press is bad ass
Can I use copper wire instead? I want to make copper slugs😀!
I was a toolmaker for 35 years, I bet the answer would be no, copper is quite a bit harder than led!

What is the price
@@derrickbrooks9396 1799
how much does the swaging cost...???
How can I buy and deliver to Egypt and what is the price?
is it cheaper to make your own?
Super. Very informative. Vielen Dank.
Hi.
For now what I discover, with .25 fx liners don´t buy the .251 dye. It will left the barrel full with lead. I only use silicone spray to lube them.
Dont know if is there a solution for that, with special lubricant or some thing.
Now I´m trying .249.6 dye and I hope see groups. For now 54gr is to forget too, don´t group.
I´m not a hunter, just wanna smack 230mm disc grinder at 450 meters with consistency. For now altaros in .25 and .22 hn 30gr is the only slugs that I approve for m3.
If is there anyone with ideas, or experience swaging please share.
TO EXPENSIVE WITH WHAT IS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET..RATHER BUY THE SLUGS TBH
we need to see how they shoot and group. will the press cope with tin./zinc?
I can´t say it enough times, but you produce great vids, just like @airbuks, for us airgun shooters here in Europe. Always very detailed and relaxed. Would really like to make my own slugs, but I have seen the price for the Presslug kit, and it is way to expensive for my budget. If I had I would buy, since it is also made in the EU (CZ) and not some China crap....I have guns from .177 up to 30, and on my Impact have from .177 to 25, so you can see it would be very costly to finance it. But should I get the budget for it, that is the kit I would buy, and would not compromise on the craftmanship and great quality of the product. If I cannot afford it, then I would not invest in lesser quality!
Ein sehr Interessantes Gerät und für die Herstellung von Vollgeschossen sehr gut geeignet. @AirGhandi - Kannst du die funktion der Matrize genauer zeigen? Insbesondere wo das überschüssige Blei heraus kommt.
