Our Traditional Jacketing Process
Step 1: Cutting and Swaging the Core. Each bullet begins with a precisely cut segment of lead. We swage the core under substantial pressure, forming a uniform shape that establishes a stable foundation for the jacket and ensures consistent weight across every bunch produced.
Step 2: Drawing the Copper Jacket. A copper jacket is drawn and formed around the swaged core using traditional jacketing methods. This creates a durable outer shell that enhances projectile strength, reduces barrel fouling, and supports performance when used with smokeless powder.
Step 3: Forming the Full Metal Jacket. The jacket is shaped to fully encapsulate the core, producing the classic full metal jacket boat-tail profile. This design decreases drag and improves stability, particularly beneficial for bolt gun applications and precision shooting.
Step 4: Final Inspection and Quality Check. Before packaging, every bullet undergoes inspection to verify weight, dimensions, and jacket integrity. The result is a consistent, reliable projectile trusted for any bullet selection in reloading applications.
