Not sure if anyone has asked this one yet but---
Has anyone taken a regular half jacket, say a 38 caliber and swaged it down to a 30 or 25 caliber for making jacketed bullets. No doubt it would require trimming but with the Harbor Freight chop saw that is no problem.
What would the interior shaping of the dies be? Could it be done in one step?
Seems like there are lots of those half jackets out there and sometimes they can be had reasonable, might be a good resource.
