Years and years ago, Corbin used to claim their swaging dies and jacket
drawing dies could be used in a heavy duty reloading press (the compound
leverage single station type made for large magnum rifle cartridge --
one such used to be called Rock Crusher). The reloading presses were a
bit less spendy than the Corbin branded press -- but not a whole bunch
less. For that matter, though, a reloading press is an item that could
easily be made from an aluminum casting (you'd just need hella heavy
supports compared to the steel ones). Get a good look at a commercially
made press and measure the thread on a set of Corbin's dies and you're
off -- you'll need a thread adapter to use reloading dies in the same
press, but that's a piece of cake if you have a lathe with change gears.
