Are you looking for jackets or tools to make jackets?

[Nickle]

I think he's looking for a derimming die to convert fired 22 LR to jackets for 224 bullets.

No, I think he was complaining that he wasn;t finding enough 22 cases on his range to make it worth while to turn them into jackets. I think he wants a way to take copper strip, and make jackets....

What I know about deep draw operations, is that the tooling and machinery is too involved to make it practical.

If any one needs 22 LR brass, some of us get large qtys, and could make it available for sale. I just sold a very stuffed medium flat rate box of brass for scrap metal value.

It's where you find it. Locate a 22lr shooter, ask them to save you brass. A buddy of mine in Indiana shoots benchrest 22lr, so saved me brass form last year. I got a med FRB full, maybe 5K rounds? Now I have all my dies, let the swaging begin!

[TRB]

that is correct nickel an duke. brass is getting scarce at the public range I go to, damn scrappers!

[Theditchman]

Hey duke...I could sure use some of that .22 brass if you have any to spare

[DukeInFlorida]

I have perhaps a small flat rate box left (available for sale)

Let me weigh it up, and I'd offer it to you at scrap metal value, plus the shipping.

BRB.............

OK, I was able to get 2.3 pounds of this in a small flat rate box.

I have sent a PM to Theditchman..............

I've done business with a gentleman on this forum with just over 100 posts and hasn't sold before (or at most just a little).

I bought 5 MFRBs of 22 LR brass from him, and it was a barter transaction.

The guy is NewbieDave007. I do believe he might have some brass available.

He seems to be looking for something similar to the Corbin JMK-1-H Bullet Jacket Making Kit:
