no idea what you mean. But no my smelting set up wont get near the heat to melt copper. Maybe anneal the jackets?Have you tried smelting copper in the pot does that work? Castbootlets has an article about tinning and adding copper under clay. Going to try it when I get setup agian
its not cheap , either tools or materials. Die set i have is about $1200-$1500 new/completeWas doing some research on it. Looks kind of an investment to start. Unless you can use a press other than Corbin?
yes although over 25 acp size seems to require a larger press H press from corbin.There is a lot of stuff out there about using parent cases as jackets
If I jump into this Im going to buy some jackets, I rather have nice uniform copper jackets. I would at least like to make some nice bullets.Has anyone one used Bt snipers dies for converting cases to jackets. He makes some interesting stuff
