Does anyone know of alternate source for benchrest quality copper rifle jackets in 30 cal and 6mm? I currently make a high B.C. boat tail 6mm bullet and 30 cal 118gr FB for benchrest shooters. J4 jackets are hard to get along with prices that are extremely high. Sierra says they are 14 months back ordered.

Thanks

James. Times are getting pretty tough if you are looking for them. Thought you would definitely have a back stock of jackets.

Not sure how hard they are to get. I have ordered alot of jacket from them in the past but prices have skyrocketed. Have you gotten their recent price list? The 6.5mm jacket I get from them have gone up to almost $0.34/each, when I started swaging 12 years ago they were 0.08/each. I can buy sierra matchkings for just the price of the jacket. I swage for .22cal, 6mm, 6.5mm .277, & 7mm. Getting jackets at a reasonable price is getting tougher.

Sierra usually has jackets available in the STORE section of their web site. 30 cal are almost always available. 6mm is off and on; you have to keep checking.
