I'm new here and this looks like a good place! anyway my question is this- Is anyone makeing half-jackets anymore?? I checked with speer and they couldn't answer me- Dave at ch-4d said all he had was a few .40 cal left and corbin's jackets are too long,too thick and too pricey- I just resurected my old swageOmatic that I hav,t used in 30 yrs and now I can't find half jackets any more
thougth I did find some .38 ,.44 on another forum and got em. I still need .45 and more .44 Help PLEASE

check evil bay, evry once-in-a while somebody has some, they don't know what they are trying to "sell", most times they are called "gas checks".............
most of the sales are "herters" ..................hope this helps

I just bought a pretty good lot of .44 and .308 sized half jackets (sold off all the rest of what I got). Some of them (jackets) were copper colored and those boxes said Hornady. The rest (of the jackets) were more brass colored, and those boxes said Herters.
