Hi, Thanks to everyone who has commented and e-mailed to talk about jacket and bullet making! I have been asked more about sets to make 7.62x39 than probably everything put together. I wanted to let people know that I actually have two sets for same ready on hand right now. Both make jackets from copper tubing as opposed to strip ( I will try and get a video up on tubing sets soon too) and include the jacket maker and the bullet swaging die set. One set is for the S-size press the other for the WH press. These are much simpler sets than the strip makers and thus are a bit less costly! We also have a couple presses on hand in different sizes and a couple more coming in. It is rare that I have a lot of anything in stock; it is mostly a custom sort of job, but these sets are from deals that were ordered and the customer was forced to back out . . .Stuff happens! Anyway feel free to e-mail if there is any interest. -Kel

Hi I just saw you were not feeling good a few months ago sorry to hear that I'm interested in swaging but a little tight on cash now but I still enjoy watching the videos. Unfortunately it seems there are some who don't consider what it takes to be sure it's filming properly explaining what's going on and doing what needs to be done with only one hand. To me just the skill to make these dies is impressive everything else is gravy. I hope you remain in good health and that you continue to produce and sell quality dies and informative videos.

Hello, may I ask how thick is the copper tape used for punching bullet casings? If it is too thin, how to process the bottom edge of the tail?

Make the ejection port ramped and hang a box to catch your blanks in underneat. ;)

This video got me into bullet swaging. i bought a Corbin mega mite and a kit for making .264 ULD rebated boat tails for 6.5 Creedmoor. The bullets that this makes are better than I hoped. I just ordered the dies and punches for making 9mm jacketed hollow points. While 9mm ammo and most others are not in stock anywhere, I can get all the bullet-making supplies I will ever want AND it's better quality than my usual Sierra Matchking. Best ng able to make them perfect every time and to any weight is too good to be true. I really want to get the jacket-making kit next. It's four thousand dollars!! I'm still going to get it, however. I am applying for an ammo manufacturing ffl, too, just in case I get anybody who wants ammo. There's so little information on bullet swaging, but luckily Dave Corbin shared copious amounts of time and information with me.

@jksswage1153

7 жыл бұрын

If you already have or are setting up a jacket set, the short answer is yes there are combinations of the punches and dies in every set that will work on cases. BUT, if your main interest is in drawing cases it is much easier and CHEAPER by far to just make draw sets specifically for drawing cases. We do a lot of 9mm (or any of the nominal 3/8 heads) down to 35 or 33, or even 30. Lots of combos possible, and because of the nature of the operation the need for really precise alignment tools and tight punch dimensions serves little purpose in most cases. You can shoot me a mail at jksswage@yahoo.com if you have some specific interests and i can give you an idea of what your looking at.

U gave me an idea, ive been wanting to jacket my 40mm cannon projos, i looked at copper pipe caps but none my size, 1 1/2"caps are the closest, i think i could size them down to 1 5/8"od.

You can use the same process for any caliber, you just need to get the appropriate dies. I use the Corbin dies to make 9mm and 5.7 bullets. I can make 5.7 practice rounds without having to buy projectiles. I still carry my 57 loaded with the FN branded JHPs because they have better terminal effect, but it's a bit pricey for range sessions

Suggestion: I have noticed how the punch "snaps" through the material to cut the disc. If the punch was cut at a slight angle so it would "slice" its way through it would take less effort to punch and would be a smoother operation to go through the material. It would not snap.

Yes, but it is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there is a good bit involved with balancing proper hardness, and annealing through out the process. Do not anneal at the right steps and the right intervals and you get a case either work hardened too much and brittle, or far too soft. Either can be catastrophic.

I am looking a making 9mm brass for reloading using the same type of process. Does anyone already make swaging dies for brass cases.

Hi Tomas, Yes the equipment is for sale. And the answer to the Waterbury question is maybe. Forming dies or die sets to fit their assorted machines we can most likely accommodate, if you were looking for a special "one off" of some sort. I am not sure what sort of "mold" you would be seeking. Most of our gear is built for the home hobbiest and single stage hand operated equipment. Waterbury would doubtless be a better choice for full sets of forming/cupping/or draw sets on either their line or roll machines.

Copper was used in early 'Cartridge' rifles and guns and found to have Poor results. Often the Copper cartridge cases would expand too much and become jammed in the chamber. Then they case would have to be forcibly removed from chamber before the gun could be reloaded.

@johnharvey4911

3 жыл бұрын

Copper was indeed used to make cartridge CASES with poor results in the early days. That of course has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with what we are doing here. These are BULLET JACKETS . Pure copper has been used to make bullet jackets WITH GREAT SUCCESS for the past 145 years, and continues to be used by 3/4 of the industry for their premium bullets. ALL this is in the video had you paid attention.And of course there are several hundred volumes on bullet making that describe it, and of course several million pages of detail on same across the internet. My advice is that if you are incapable of distinguishing between a common bullet jacket and a cartridge casing - for the safety of yourself and others - you find a safer hobby than reloading. Your are clearly incapable of the attention to detail required to safely practice this sport.

I would ask you exactly WHAT you would think could be unsafe? This is simply cold forming a strip of copper. There is no heat, propellant, combustion or anything else even remotely dangerous! The end result is a pretty typical copper bullet jacket. When you use the jacket to make a bullet that bullet is just like any other bullet you would use for handloading. The ONLY thing in the process that is dangerous is the handloader making ammo with the finished product at the end - BUT this operations is simply forming the little cup we all call bullet jackets.
