The simplest way to start swaging slugs: a fixed-weight kit for testing grain weights in your gun before moving up to a SlugMaster or a Freedom Press. One of the most accurate and repeatable systems for weight, with each slug within 2 grains.

  • Slug diameter: .177″ (4.500 mm), ±0.005 mm
  • Weights: 13, 16, 18, 20 grains. The kit makes one fixed weight; add more weights with additional weight inserts
  • Nose: hollow point
  • Base: flat base punch included; a second punch (dish base) as an option
  • Press: 2-ton press. Kit size: 26 mm across and 91 mm tall; needs a press opening of at least 125 mm
  • You need: Lead wire one calibre smaller than the slug (3.5 mm or less), lube such as WD-40, and a press
  • Material: Tool steel, hardened to 50–52 HRC
  • Made to order: 3–5 weeks. Ships worldwide by FedEx, DHL or UPS.
