Time to make the donuts....

My Irish pallies must have sent a bit 'o the 'luck 'o the Irish' my way.

FedEx delivered jackets Friday (albeit to the wrong address....four sod huts away from me ).

The friendly USPS driver (a gun lover), delivered the Charlie Hood cores Saturday.

Good shootin' -Al

What year did you buy all that? it might give a hint as to which lot they are.
When did Stamoly become unavailable?

 

[David Conder]

About 2 1/2 years he most likely had them maybe 2 or more years before that the best deal was those Detch dies double ojive 6.5 to 8.5 there about hope this helped ps the label is bleach out but the jackets look like new

Stamoly/Hines were available in 2016 I know.

 

[David Conder]

Thanks Dave I think there is approximately 8000 at least in the case I have I like the 825 better

They're no longer providing jackets?

Which method you guys prefer?
Performing core seating and letting it rest for a while (24/48 hours...) or point up immediately?

I like to let them relax for a day or two.

But I have tested seating cores, gone right to pointing and then to the range on the same day. Couldn't see any on-target difference. -Al

Guys, you have so much more experience, so...
Is it correct to conclude that if there is by bleed, even if minimal, it rules out the possibility of trapped air?

No, I'll message you tomorrow

Beginner's question. To avoid lead buildup on the sides of the core seater punch, would making the diameter slightly smaller, as shown in the photo, have any negative effect on the quality of the bullet?

I noticed that the lead comes loose and simply falls out of the punch.

 

[AlNyhus]

As a heads up, I've posted some J4 1.000" .30 cal jackets for sale.

The bleed by inside the jacket has to be pretty significant with that punch diameter. That much lead wrapping around the punch would have me going  up in punch diameter.

Good shooting. -Al

Does having a boattail on a bullet change the amount of bleed-by you see or want to see vs what you do for flat based bullets?

I’ve never made a flat based bullet, however, I can say forming a boattail on a long 6 takes a bit of energy and moves lead.
