From what I've seen of their products it makes essentially professional
grade bullets.
They look and work just like commercial jacketed bullets and in some cases
perform measurably better.
But the trouble I've had is that swaging appeals to those trying to save
money, but the marketing and prices are aimed at those trying to make the
"perfect bullet".
All of my stuff is home made on a mini lathe and mill.
I have seen demos of the corbin stuff and used a friends setup to see how it
worked and it's very good once setup.
I've got a copy of "the other brother's" books on my computer and I don't
know where from.
He believed that the information should be out there for anyone and that a
standard (although heavy duty) reloading press and some hand made dies were
all that were necessary.
