    I'm not sure In the rules on bullet jackets There is some kind of stipulation
    you may be able to buy jackets and maybe some kind of paper work or tax.
    Maybe you can find a source for jackets there in Canada try contacting your bullet companies.

    Thanks, I am looking. I can not recall the name of the law but it is the same one that prohibits the US from exporting certain night vision, etc.

    ITAR, International Trafficking in Arms Regulations or some such. If an item is high tech or arms related a license is required to import and export.

    Anyone know what amount of waste I would have if I bought the initial stage disc cutter (not sure what it is called) for..338 and the rest for.my 6.5mm. This way I don't have to buy 3 complete sets. Or maybe better to have 6.5mm full set and disc the .338 and .50 bmg together.

    Or maybe better to just.get.three sets and no copper waste. Or less anyway. Anyone have a.thought?

    You Have to do the math to figure that out It will depend on the size and thickness of the blank.
    IT's a bit complicated but not rocket science. The volume of the blank for the caliber and thickness of the jackets to be produced has to be figured out.
    Richard explained a lot to me on this.

    Goober,

    Easiest thing it to call David and tell him the range of sizes you want to make. He would figure out the largest disk you need to the biggest caliber and then make draw dies to take it down to the smallest. There is a lot of waste if you go from a .510 diameter jacket to .224, but if you want to shoot 338, 9mm and .308, they could all be easily done with the same disk and the appropriate draw sequences. You can reduce each size approximately 20% in one draw.

    Call David, he can quote you a price for what's required.

    Called or emailed. He said best is three sets but you could start the .338 and 6.5 in the same but with waste.

    I will call to get how much waste.

    Thanks
