22LR to 224 Jacket Maker

Price: $85.00

Note that this set only makes the jacket. A bullet swaging set is needed to make the bullet. A core seat punch for the RF jacket is needed and is included with the bullet swage die set.

Replacement punch for the 224 jacket maker.

22LR to 243 Jacket Maker

Price: $85.00

243 to 224 Jacket

Price: $105.00

Redraws a 243 (6 mm) bullet jacket to 224 caliber.

Most commercial jackets like those made by J4/Berger Bullets, Sierra, or Hines can be used.  243 jackets have a bit thicker walls than do 224 jackets which means the 224 jacket will also have a thicker wall than commercially made 224 jackets.

This can be an advantage when making hunting bullets or for use with very high velocity cartridges.  A smaller core swage, smaller core seat, and smaller lead wire will be needed.

A core seating punch is included with the set.

30 to 264 Jacket Draw Set

Price: $105.00

Redraws a 30 caliber jacket to 264 caliber.

Does not trim the jacket to shorter lengths but often the redrawn jacket is usable without trimming it.  Different lengths of 30 caliber jackets will make different lengths of 6.5 mm jackets.  J4, Hines, and Sierra jackets can be used.  Other makes of jackets may also be usable but jackets can vary considerably.

 

358 to 338 Jacket Draw Set

Price: $105.00

The set is designed to redraw a 358 caliber jacket made from a fired 5.56/223 Remington cartridge case.  Commercial gilding metal jackets can also be used.

If the 5.56 case is cut off just below the case shoulder the 338 jacket will be about 1.5″ long.  It can be used as is but more often the 338 trim set will be needed to shorten the jackets.

A core seat punch for the redrawn cartridge case jackets is included.

9 mm case to 358 Jacket Maker
