    Yes. Absolutely! We have a saying, "Form Follows Function." and "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

    If you like it, it's beautiful and should be the way you see it. I very much like your bullets. They are very nicely done.

    J4 jackets are made of a thicker material than rimfire cases. if your rimfire jackets come out of the de-rim die at +/- .705 you should order the next longer size J4.
    RCE here in the US offers a package of 3 different length J4's for .224 projectiles, that will let you make 100 of each size to see what fits your needs best without buying a large quantity of jackets that you might not use.

    I don't think RCE can ship out of the country, I'm not sure of that you might want to ask first.

    It's good to know that there are handloaders there. With Tula and Wolf ammunition plants, are factory bullets expensive on the economy?

    I do not know what the RCE, but the export license for me my supplier of the United States prepares for my every order.

    I buy J4 legally. J4 is not the final product, a material.

    A few years ago I could buy in the U.S. export license bullets and cartridge cases, but now the situation has changed, but not in the U.S., and Russia. Jesuit introduced a ban on international mail containing a bullet or cartridge cases.

    Sorry, but my program interpreter translated the question "crooked." I did not understand it. Repeat please other words.

    Generally in the post number 86 I asked for advice on the design of bullets.

    And I warn against errors in the design.

    If "yes", then I'm talking about his brother Dave Corbin know, but he did not try to order.

    Yes,you understand correctly. I plan on ordering some jackets from him in the near future, it all depends on on the amount of cash on hand.

    Distance hundred meters.
    Five series of five shots.
    Class sizes are in centimeter along the outer edge holes.

    The latter group is quite decent. It seems that something felt.

    Powder: Sunar 5,56 - 20 gr.; Bullet - 79,6 gr.; Rifles Tikka T-3, twist 8".

    And still, sizes of groups not in inches, and in centimeters.

    My program the interpreter from time to time begins to live by the life and translates incorrectly.

    This is my press. I took it from Dave Corbin.

    This is my dies and other accessories.

    This lead to the cores.
    Attachment 75508

    This is the material for the shell: reduced .22lr and J4.
    Attachment 75509

    This is the finished product .224 " from 45 to 80 gr.
    Attachment 75510

    It stocks for next Friday.
    Attachment 75511

    This is my rifle, top with a 12 "twist, the bottom with 8" twist.
    Attachment 75513

    And this is the target for a hundred meters from last Friday.
    Attachment 75514Attachment 75515

    I know that the result is not pretty. Shooting fast fifty shots in two hours. The barrel warmed up after the second series of five.
    Very Nice, Sir!!!
