Typically we are making larger than .375 bullets with rigid alloy tubing from Corbin in the .049 jacket thickness. We have used them on everything big and tough including Cape Buffalo and Elephant. I...

Sounds great. I am looking forward to my set. I have lots of brass ready and an unending 40 supply to prep as well.

Thanks for that bit of advice. Although I do not normally buy or sell on E-bay I do know the larger audience may be what we need to do this properly.

Thanks for the added information. I have communicated directly with Alfloyd as well. He was kind enough to contact me.
I guess I just need to decide if the effort is worthwhile.
We are thinking...

Thanks for the reassurance. I am indeed simply looking for a number of opinions to help me decide whether to pursue the effort.

3006- Your implication is that I am trying to fool or trick someone. Not the case at all.
Deltaenterprizes- Thank you, I did look into that and even bent some wire to see how well it would work....

Good, and thanks for the input. I can adjust the wire size to test out down to the .185 size easily enough. It is a little more work to get enough extruded to make up the 50 lb.
Perhaps I should...

Some while back I mentioned a friend of mine was able to provide lead wire for purchase. He has been testing and running extrusion wire to see if it is viable to offer for sale. We are able to make...

Call Corbin. While I was there they were making discs to make jackets to test their dies. I believe he had boxes of the flat copper and cold probably help out.

I kinda think the real time is in the hands on work or checking and re-checking the work to make sure the die is a precise unit.

He did mention they had been attacking the problem with enthusiasm. He has cut the 3 year wait down to 24 months in less than a year and he hopes to get even better this year.

It was with tongue-in-cheek and meant to save Dave who I bet would do everything he possibly could to help his customers understand.
