Thanks Mike, appreciate the offer!

I went with the GMI press/dies in the end. Also found some wire for swaging through DLM Wallace up in Auckland. $10 per kg and diameter to suit.

Nice, I saw his listings on Trademe. I'll reach out when he lists again.

Looking at the unit from GMI engineering - the "freedom press". You can customise the dies like Corbin.

Disappointed that the NZ dealer for the Javelin slugs have stopped stocking them, those have been my go to.

I tried making my own, they looked the part, but were not quite as accurate as the commercial ones. I think I just don't have to tooling to make a die accurately enough, also my press might not have been precise enough either.

I've visited Brian and bought some slugs from him. They were about as accurate as the H&N ones in my wildcat mk III. That is pretty good. The only downside is the hollowpoint is quite small, and I was getting more pass-throughs. NSA and Javelin have good expansion.

There's a chap called "SPYDA" making slugs down in the South Island.

Apparently they're great - a mate is currently trialing them in his FX Wildcat Mk3 .22 (with a special Huma Regulator fitted) and he's impressed!
