My 112 grain .30 bullets seem to work well. Shot with my Hunter rifle and 6X scope.

We all hope you don’t bring it to the TackDriver!

Any recommendation on a source for a bullet spinner? Can we see some examples?

After doing a bit of research, you can find a drawing by Paul Gottschall for one in Precision Shooting March 1964.
Also look in May & June 1965
A jacket spinner and lathe are shown in July 1965

Has anyone used any of the newer Sierra jackets? I recently had some pretty good success with bullets I made on some Sierra .810 jackets from 2004 but I made the last of those jackets up. I emailed Sierra and they sent me a 2025 jacket price list. Their 6mm jackets are a little more expensive than the 2025 j4 jackets that I have on order but what really matters is the end result on the target.

Any idea of the leade time on Sierras?

Not yet, waiting on that response.

Obviously selling to the public again.

A year ago, I received a batch of Sierra .30s with a length of 1.220".
The jackets were very greasy and had a strange color; they looked oxidized,(for lack of a more appropriate term) with a very reddish-brown color.
After washing with detergent and citric acid, they had the same appearance as the J4s. And the bullets were excellent, and I had fewer folded tips than with the J4.

Appears so. They offer 6mm in .790, .800,.810 and .825.

The 810 sure worked well for me in the past.
