This is a set of jacket trim dies I made for a individual from the forum. The price for these is $167.00 shipped. These are for a standard reloading press. These are made from tool steel and the punch and die body are hardened.

Hi,
Are these for .30 caliber jackets?
Yes these are for .30 caliber sierra jackets and I am making other sizes.... (U.P. North)

Attachment 66569Attachment 66571Attachment 66572I have trim dies and draw dies that are separate. My draw dies draw a very precise jacket. The jackets are concentric and have a consistent wall thickness. I use Dave Corbin dies.

Euan,
I would think the .2235" I.D. in the die would work well for your jackets. The press pictured is a rock chucker supreme..... U.P. North

I agree Gerry! I just received my trim die from him today. Works very well. Here's a couple pictures of the die and punches and one installed in my Corbin S Press with a full length and trimed 22 mag 6mm jacket.

MIBULLETS,
That was the quickest I have seen something go into production (HA Ha inside joke). I am very pleased that everything fits and works good. I figured everything should fit and screw in, as I three wire measured the threads to a set of dies I have in the shop. Just wanted to make sure so we weren't sending things back and fourth. Get to making some projectiles and doing some shooting as finally spring has arrived here in Upper Michigan also.
Thank You,

I definately plan to get some bullets made up soon. It will be nice to make the weight I want now that I can trim the jackets!
Will buy one of these when funds are ready.
I plan to trim 22mag and 22lr case, is it ok to use one trim die? Or do I need to have a separate trim die for each of one?
taminsong,
As long as your jackets have the same outside diameter I see no reason why they wouldn't work for both. Just let me know when you are ready for one. U.P. North
