Hi,
I'm new to this site having joined yesterday. I am interested in making jacketed projectiles/bullets using copper tubing and brass cases swagged to size. I would like to make my own "dies" as I have the equipment to produce the die body and the punches.
Could you advise the die body hole and punch sizes to swage the copper/brass in subsequent steps. Alternatively, what is the average reduction in size I can expect at each stage. For example making 44[429] jackets out of 9mm or 38 cases. Similarly swagging coper tube to 45 [452] jackets or from 44 Rem Mag cases.
Thanks
Frederick
