this guy is not me tho. i am more handsome :wink:

i do my own jackets with copper tubings. pretty cheap! if you use 9mm cases, you can make 100 bullets under 3 or 4 bucks. buy the dies used and you won't break the bank.

who makes barrels for this caliber?

great info right there, kaydadog! i do exactly the same as you but i've built my own press as i wanted to draw the cases in one pass, and i was successful. are you drawing them in one pass as well?...

tks guy for your answers. appreciate it! this is my setup below. all my tools, press, etc were designed by me. the deep drawing inserts (not the molds) are made out of carbide and punches are O1....

Hey guys. I am about to start making my own pistol jackets which will be drawn by hands. I designed the whole thing. Question is: what would a good jacket thickness be for 9mm? I know it's not...

thanks andrew! my goal is to make 8.95mm to 8.97mm in diameter and 15mm long jackets. i was able to use 9mm brass to make good jackets drawing them down in one go with a carbide insert to these...

yes, when I resume making bullets I will definitely buy only a couple of 100 hole trays. the 400 hole is quite cumbersome. does the work tho!
just make sure you pick the correct number. i really...

oh... BTW, do you think I can go from a 0.75" disk to 9mm jackets in 2 draws? I mean, 0.75" - 0.5" draw - 0.353" draw?
regards

awesome work andrew! i am impressed!

i bought something similar to this tray a while ago. had to throw that away when I scaped the tyranny of the "green new zealand" prime minister and moved to a decent place... btw.. a s&#t country!!!...

Hey M.A.D., thanks man! We are moving overseas as NZ is going from bad to worse regarding personal freedom. It's not the NZ it was when I got here 15 years ago.

Hi guys. I am designing some drawing inserts to make 9mm jackets, about .58" to 0.6" ish tall, 0.352" diameter. I want these jackets to be around 0.011" to 0.015" thick on wall and bottom depending...

thanks for the answers. my bore, according to cerrosafe (after 1 hour), measures Ø 0.3550". i will probably use the string method to shoot and see how it goes. problem only now is going out to shoot...

Tks guys. Yeah.. I have some Cerrosafe laying somewhere at the shop and will use it to measure lands, although I don't like it. As the barrel chamber area is Ø1.25" and bolt is very stiff, I will...

Hi guys. I have lapped one carbide insert to make 9mm bullets but I went a bit too far and the bullets are coming out at 0.3565". I have other spare inserts, but man... it's a lot of work.
I am...

some of my inserts... to the guys with more knowledge, a question: one of these inserts (to draw 9mm shells down) has a major diameter of 0.413" and the minor dia of 0.352". do you guys think that...

thank you for all the answer, guys! appreciated!
i was looking for a somewhat accurate and cheap (I know both words dont work together) 9mm swaged bullets and thought that these 8.5mm tubes could...

thanks guys. i have a carbide set of dies to make 9mm HPBT bullets and was wondering if i could fold one end in of this tube and use it as a jacket.

thanks guys. we make 9mm rifles here in new zealand and we would like to offer some 9mm hand swaged bullets as well. personally, i like precision and i will be able only to get the precision i want...

copper tubings

what do you guys think? is this doable? what dies would I need to make 9mm bullets out of these if possible?

cheers
