[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 439006, member: 13833"] I buy most of my supplies from Corbins. In the past, I have used a lot of his jackets but recently am going more to sierra and J4's (Berger) I buy the machined tips (both brass and aluminum). The cores I make from pure lead wire of the appropriate size for the caliber. It is then cut to slightly above desired weight and run through a core swage die to final weight. The jackets are trimmed to length (if necessary). The core is inserted into the jacket and is run through a series of dies to seat the core, form the rebated boat tail, form the desired ogive, and insert the tip. If bonding the core is used, some acid is placed in the core/jacket assembly and melted and then boiled in soda water to neutralize the acid before the swaging process begins. There are other tricks that can be used to obtain desired balance and expansion. Feel free to pm me and we can discuss it further if you are interested........Rich [/QUOTE]
