[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 604216, member: 17844"] I have made thousands of 308 bullets on Corbin presses and never had a swollen hand ever . You get tired hands and arms sure but swollen no ? You are doing something wrong or the dies are no good or you are not using the last part of the press ram travel where the most leverage is or you are using excessive core seating pressure adding fatigue , maybe you suffer from tendonitis or arthritis . If you are making bullets for sale then carbide is the way to go . If you are using a reloading type press with minimal leverage and a long ogive bullet then the Carbide might help but in a big purpose built swaging press you could barley feel the difference. I use the corbin horizontal presses and they are incredibly efficient and have great leverage . I could buy a new bigger verticle press if I wanted but there is no need . I can make a 308 bullet with about the same effort as a 6mm bullet . Because the ram only travels about 2 inch's it is very powerful compact little press. Has more leverage than a RCBS or Lee Classic cast. [/QUOTE]
