Does anyone have the jacket and lead supplier sheets that Richard Corbin emails out and could email them to me? Richard has tried sending them to me a couple times but I haven't gotten them. Not sure if the problem is on his email or my email end. I've got Butch Hairfield's list. Larry Blackmon is close by but I've had a hard time contacting him. Is there any other suppliers I should know about?

Sierra apparently sells small bore (.30 calibre and under) jackets. You can access the info on their web site. www.sierrabullets.com

I get my lead here in Canada, so that won't be of much help to you.

Thanks for the information Rick and Donna.

Hello Donna
Thanks for listing the different places to get the copper cups. I didn`t know there was that many. Which of these that you listed is the cheapest? Or I should say which is the cheapest per copper cup? in general, doesnt matter the length. I found the sierra was 85.00 per thousand, and that didn`t include shipping. Now that was for 308 about 1.5 inches long.
I can make my own for 3.5 cent apiece, that is .950 length copper tubing with Rce`s copper tubing maker, but if I could find them 5 cents a piece I would pay that.
So which ones are the cheapest? I`m on a disability income. Every penny matters to me.

Hello Bullet Maker,

I do business with the ones that have the happy face next to them. Star ammo is very inexpensive for handgun jackets and Berger Bullets is fairly good for rifle bullets prices.

Check them out and shop around for the best prices.
