Hi RG, where can one acquire the draw die and pinch-trim die?

Hi Mike, the NDA not withstanding, the group I'm working with have published a website that gives some insight into what they are working on: https://shattersystems.com/

Hi Al, the group that I'm working with have published a website, so it is live. It describes in very general terms what they are working on: www.shattersystems.com. These are the cores that they need jackets for testing purposes. If you know anyone who has any M196 tracer hulls (not filled)...

To be honest, they haven't been very forthcoming with information. I'm scrambling here and I've told them that. I know what they are working on, but it's covered under an NDA, so I can't divulge much. I appreciate you responding and I don't think it's where I want to start either. Once I get...

I honestly don't know. I've never made bullets before and I've got scientists asking me to find things that I don't know about. Do you know if stretching a .224 jacket would reduce the wall thickness? Where would I get a die that makes a .228? If you can't tell, I'm groping around in the...

thanks! I'll check them out. I know it is a custom size and I'm checking with component manufacturers but they want orders on the magnitude of millions rather than thousands. That may be possible at some point, but at this stage things are still being worked out.

I think I found Bart and I reached out to him directly on this forum. Sounds like a very knowledgeable fellow and world-class shooter. Thanks for the advice!

I don't know Bart. How do I get in touch with him. I'm not familiar with J4, but I will look them up. Sierra is part of Winchester and I've already spoken with Winchester, but not with Sierra directly. I'll look them up, too.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking at custom runs with larger machine shops that do that sort of thing, but I didn't know if there was someone that may do this kind of thing on a smaller scale. I'm new at this bullet thing, but a long time shooter. I didn't know there was so much one can do on...

Hi all, I am looking for a bullet jacket for an R&D effort. I need a jacket that is .228 inches diameter and 0.97 inches in length. Thickness of the jacket wall (if that is the correct term) of 0.018 inches. Any ideas who can make those or where I could go to ask? I know it is an unusual size...
