Time to make the donuts....

I make 30 cal bullets only and on J4 jackets the punch selection is usually between .2690 and .2693 for 117-118 bullets- what is generally the punch sizes for making 112's on a .925 jacket?

I will look at mine in the morning.

Jackie I would like to know what lot of 925 you are using I would think you would use a smaller punch for 112 then the 116 Thanks

 

[jackieschmidt]

The punch I use with the .925 Jackets I have, .2680

6 degrees and 30 mph winds today...good day to work on booolets.

I swapped core seat punches today to illustrate how core punch size relates to bleed by. The top pic is with a core seater punch diameter .0004 (four ten thousandths) smaller than the bottom pic. The 'slurp' of lead is pretty pronounced with the smaller punch.

In the lower pic, the shiny appearance on the jacket i.d. right above the top of the core is just a reflection from the light....not the punch dragging in the jacket.
