I agree with Sasquatch-1, starting to make jackets will be a very expensive project. I looked into this about ten years ago.
I can't see starting to make jackets without having a hydraulic press to...

Here is a 400/gr and 500/gr 50/cal jacketed bullets, several types, made using a 45/ACP case for a jacket.
Made using a hydraulic press and Corbin H-Dies.

Yes, I know Dave sold the business last year. The new owners are listed on the new website.
Be prepared for the new price increases.
Dave kept them down for the last ten years.

Yes, probably if you ever purchased something in the past you received the email.
The only issue with the new website is that all the previous die combinations and pricing have been removed.
For...

Here are some 0.458 300/gr, 350/gr and 400/gr copper jacketed bullets recently swaged.
These have a 0.250" meplat basically used in a 45-70 lever action rifle.

These all cost less than $0.10...

Photos of the finished bullets is all that I will post or have the time for right now. The process is pretty much the same as making any caliber jacketed bullet.
I use a hydraulic press which...

For those interested, I believe these are some the original pictures posted making 357 or 357/sig swaged bullets.
These were made using 9/mm drawn cases for jackets.
The full length of the case is...

Sasquatch-1, I looked into your suggestion of using 10/mm cases for jackets. I didn't realize they are about 0.140" longer than a 40/S&W case.
I would definitely use them for the heavier bullets. ...

I haven't considered using 10mm cases only because I use the 40/S&W cases for 44/cal, 45/ACP and now 45-70. I may have some from range pickups and would make some samples if I ever have the time. I...

As promised about fourteen months ago to post the finished bullet results, I finally received my Corbin H-Style 0.458 caliber die set. I'll be using them in my Uberti 45-70 but believe they are the...

I started swaging my own bullets because it was a very interesting and involved hobby. Plus, you don't have to rely on anyone else to get them. Cost is always a factor and to do it right the first...

Here is what is possible to make 9/mm or 357 swaged bullets. I had posted making these awhile back. Like everyone has said be prepared to what it will cost to get to that point. I first look at...

I had to post this again to show what a swaged 500-S&W bullet would cost if you had the setup.
These were made using annealed 45/ACP full length cases.
These probably cost me about $0.05/each. ...

Dave sent me a one-page response about a month ago about the status of the company and how it is running after I wanted an update on a current order. If he's lucky there are maybe two highly skilled...

I agree for the most part Dillon does have a good warranty. I also had an alignment issue, and it wasn't that easy to find out you needed an alignment tool. For the cost of the XL650's, I have two...

I was hesitant for years to get an ultrasonic unit. First to get one large enough to do a large gun like a 500 -S&W with a ten-inch barrel. The second concern was the cost of the solution and based...

Just some information, Corbin uses three equally spaced bleed holes on the 1.5" core dies.

I've used this Saeco mold since day one, for 357 SIG & 9MM 122-GR TCFP-BB, SAECO TWO CAVITY #377 MOULD.
Never had a feed issue. With the TC nose there is sufficient bullet bearing surface which you...

I've already answered some of the specific questions and will post my response.
A cannelure really isn't required for a taper crimp bullet but will offer a little more grip.
Because I use Corbin's...

From all my previous testing making these bullets I really thought the 9/mm drawn case would have to be trimmed. When making my last small batch of 100, 125/gn bullets using cases trimmed to 0.600",...

I'll make a simple reply to why trimming pistol cases used for jackets may be required. I'm not sure if you have ever done any bullet swaging to understand fully what it takes to make a factory...

As stated in earlier post's I use an Annie Induction annealer. I integrated this annealer into the automated setup I made. Currently I can anneal 9/mm, 40S&W and 45/ACP cases automatically at a...

I'm just going to give some additional information on what it would take me to make these bullets versus buying at today's prices. Widner's sells 124/gn round nose jacketed bullets now for $175.00...

I'm going to have to step in and ask if you're referring to the trimmers on the market that do rifle cases. These are all for trimming rifle brass only a few thousandths. I've researched if these...

jdfoxinc, I made my base out of 3/4" 6"x8" piece of oak. just large enough to mount everything.
I don't know the dimensions on the base you're talking about.
With everything mounted on the base I...
