Thanks, Lord. That’s the plan. Corbin carries jackets I can simply draw. Wondered if they might work. I’ve got some ammo (Ugg $$$) coming so at least I have a reference.
Need to dive into...

Hi Ford, thanks for responding. I’m going to order a set of dies to make jacketed hunting bullets with thicker walled jackets in a 6S. But I’ve not yet made bullets of this size and don’t quite...

Hi,
I’m getting set up for the Whelen. I have no bullets and can’t get them right now (out of stock). Can anyone tell me the jacket length of a 225 or 250 gr spritzer? Corbin makes 40 cal...

Thank you!

Dave Corbin is awesome. He answers the phone himself. I get a little star stuck still, feeling very aware of not wasting his time. He makes case-to-jacket converter dies. Pretty cool stuff. Also...
