Default Corbin presses and dies?

Again, I have another question. Lately I have been thinking about casting my own bullets, mainly for my .45 ACP. Then today, I also got to thinking about swaging my own bullets. I went to Corbin's website, and they have what are called their R Dies. These will fit into standard 7/8 x 14 threaded presses. They have a kit for one caliber for about $350. This even includes lead to use. But I am unsure of using pure lead by itself. I think it would be better to do a bullet that has a 3/4 jacket to prevent extreme leading of the bore.

Has anyone ever swaged their own bullets versus casting? Has anyone ever used the Corbin equipment? I have not heard any bad things about Corbin, and yet, I have not heard of any other companies that offer bullet swaging equipment.

Any info and thoughts would be great!!

Thanks!
