Can the Walnut Hill press,made by Corbin,be used for reloading the 50 BMG? Thanks

No it is not, as stated on their web site.
I use a Lee Press for 50 BMG loading; works perfectly.

We use the RCBS CRUSHER press for all our very large cases - like the 700 Nitro Express.

I have the Lee press and it is OK. Also have the big RCBS. If you pick up any once fired brass that has been run though an M2 or other machine gun these presses don't have enough leverage. I have the Corbin Mega-Mite for the tough jobs.

Agreed. Probably just depends on how sloppy the MG chamber was. I had a batch of 2000 once fired that was grossly oversized and could not get my small presses to run them.
