Bullet jackets from fired 209 primers?

[LC Smith]

Is this true?  Who makes the swage dies for this?

You can get a set of these .25 caliber (pistol) jacket making dies from Corbins Co. Go to www.corbins.com

LC, stick a magnet on your 209 primers, I don't think you want to make jackets of them.  It's been a long time since any were made of anything but steel.

Yeah, I think I'll give that one up.

  I swage a 25 cal. SWC bullet using shotgun primers for the jacket.  I came up with the SWC design so the bullets would fit into the cylinder of my S&W revolver chambered in 25/20WCF.

  I haven't used any current primers, so maybe using todays "steel" primers isn't a good idea...

Good day or evening to you all,

  I have several hundred, perhaps thousands, of 209 primers going back to the '60s.  If you want to pursue your thought -- which is why I keep hanging on to these -- is a goo one.  I swaged some superb .224 bullets with Corbin tooling.
  If you are interested,reply back and we can exchange direct email.  Hope your winter has went well.

God Bless
