35 caliber jackets/long ones for rifle...

[Robert]

Ok....Butch did not 'pan-out'.  I have been waiting since before Thanksgiving.  I E-mailed him a few times and asked if there was any progress getting my jackets made up.....he seems like a nice enough guy...but NO JACKETS.  Where else can I get long jackets for large 35 caliber rifle bullets?  I got the biggest ones that Corbin had available, they work up to about 220 gr bullets, but I want bigger.  I sure would appreciate some help...I got my new core mold ready to go...will cast up to about 290 grs.  I would like to swage some bullets btween 250-280 grs to try.  P.S.  I got a Lyman double cavity adjustable 358 mold for 15 dollars at last weeks Portland gun show.  What a great find!  It is casting .312 cores...Absolutely perfect.

Butch fell way behind when he was upgrading his equipment.  I have a two part order on its way, part of which I placed last spring.

I can make 300 grain .35 calibre bullets with his 1.28 inch jackets.

Too bad you've given up on him.

I don't know of anyone else making jackets of this size.  Maybe you could check the Corbin listing of bullet makers.  Some of them sell jackets as well.

I guess I will have to try again.
