Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada A brief explanation of how bullets are made - with pix -- Pt. 2

You're quite welcome. I degrease the cores by washing them in Varsol. I used to wash the jackets, but after years of shooting them, never noticed any difference in group size.

I did bond the cores using a home made brick oven, but frankly, it was more trouble than it was worth. It added time that and expense that weren't necessary for me.

I do 224, 6mm, 308, 311 and 314.

I posted it because I get questions about the process. I recently made a new heavier hunting bullet, what you saw being made in the two posts. I was asked about the difficulty, why I made bullets and if it was enjoyable to do. I felt that others would like to see it.
