does anyone know where i can find a new or used Corbin CHP-1 or the RCE Co. Hydraswage or similar type press and dies in less than six months. RCE and Corbins both quoted me delivery for at least 6 to 8 months.

i machine test projectiles for ballistics testing facilities and a lot of my customers have requested i get into bullet making.

#1). congrats on your expanding business.
#2). Did you make it clear to the Corbins that you would take used equipment? Both have/have had a "used section" on their web sites?
#3). Hate to say it, but no telling what might appear on ebay. Or other auction sites.

The PS here, Dave at corbins.com or swage.com has a list of bullet makers. Might you "swing a deal" with one of them to assist you? rent you their equipment? etc. in the beginning? Deadlines are a pain and this is not a "hurry up" business like so much of the world today... LUCK.
