Bullet markers

[Wolfdog91]

Anyone on here making custom bullets ? If so mind sharing pics of your set ups ? Gotten curious about possibly getting into making my own .17cal bullets. But not a tone of pic out there showing small scare bullet making stet ups.
Also what was your initial start up cost ?
Thanks

New 2024 J4 Jacket Purchase Program

If Randy Robinette and George Ulrich charged by the hour for mentoring, I’d have to sell the farm.

Good luck

Another Bullet Making Thread (lots of photos & video)

It has been a few years since the forum had a tutorial on bullet swaging. I thought one more couldn't hurt. In January I decided to make my own 6mm bullets for our PPC, BR, and Wasp. After feedback from a few forum members I called George Ulrich. And was that ever a smart choice. George not...

Ok thank you I'll be looking into that. I could have sworn I saw someone selling jackets for .17 cal the other day though....can't remeber who. Just curious what are the prices usually on jackets ?

Bullet Swaging Supply

that price sheet is probably old
