Which press and dies are you using?

The old mighty might and corbin dies.

Thanks for posting this Fat. I don't reload but this is pretty fascinating nonetheless.

Excellent post, very refreshing from the normal "what caliber kills teh alien zombies!11!!!" type threads.

Damn, and all this time I was annealing cases one by one with a propane torch. I'll have to wait until the wife goes to work and try the oven.

Outstanding thread BTW:

Some of the coolest tech I have seen in a long time. Great info if the SHTF, makes you want to stockpile a few hundred thousand .22 brass.

Again, cool thread.

I'm going to start rolling my own in a a couple calibers starting late this year, or early next year.

The hard part is figuring out which calibers to start with!

Thanks again Fat_McNasty! Very good info.

Can you make steel core like this? How about for a 7.62*39 round?

Why would you want to? I suppose if you bought special dies/press you could. It's not going to happen on an ordinary press.

I was considering starting reloading and this thread made up my mind. Great stuff I will have to print this for later reference. Are you aware of any books regarding this? This thread would be a hit in the survival forum.

I am hereby dubbing this thread "the Macgyver Guide to Reloading".

Fuck pussy ass lead. Could you say buy "Rods" of say oh i dont know um, 'tool steel' or say any old tungsten alloy and after placing a 'underjacket' of lead around them then insert both into that jacket? Oh of course one of the rods ends would have to be sharpened to a pencil point, just for ballistics sake.

I wonder how that would fair against todays modern super deer!

You don't mean like a TIG rod? You would need a special punch with a hole in the middle to hold teh rod concentric to the rest of the bullet. Ya it would work good against a super deer!

As for the book Q..

Link to Corbins books..

And here is a free book from Corbin..

These are bullets do work great against the 1337 Z0mb13 HaX0rs!!11!!

Impressive. Have you ever chronoed one of your "home growns" against a comparable commercial copper jacketed bullet?

This is just the sort of thing I need to take up to fill all the time I don't have. It would complement my pistol brass trimming nicely!

That's ingenious! I didn’t read through all the responses, so forgive me if I ask a dupe question, but where did the idea for this come from? I have read dozens of reloading books but nothing in them includes how to build jacketed bullets from scratch.

Making match grade bullets from spent .22 cases… that’s outstanding.

EDIT: Ok, I see the book now. Good stuff!
