Copper Tubing Jackets

I would like to see a video on the process of making jackets from copper tubing. I have seen some of billarrington's pictures he has posted and they look very good. also great looking dies he has made. So, what I am really requesting is to see if he would consider making such a video for us on his process and equipment used.

yes sir ill do one next weekend, my reloading room is a mess atm. the better half brought home two sets of shelves and said "organize it or lose it!" so its all over the place now to make room for the shelves so i can pile my junk on them lol... ill start by cutting some more copper tubing with my mini chop saw and jig i made....thank you for the intrest...bill

Looking forward to seeing it. Thanks!

yes Bill I want to see this myself

Thanks so much Bill!!! I myself would like to see the process. I still have yet to see how you do it...

yeap i cant wait to see it to i saw part of it dont on another site but it was like a 2 hour 6 part movie and lost interest after the first 5 mins of umms so i never finished it something tells me that you can keep my attention though bill lol

yes I am too very excited about the outcome of said video production....

That was the formal request....

Now for the actual request.....

please, please.... this would be a totally awesome learning process.....

thanks in advance Bill

Well now you got me interested since you all are so excited.......I gotta see this one! One question though, would it work for .452's or any other size boolit for that matter, or is it caliber specific?
I guess I should wait for the video before I start blabbing out questions?

well yes and no mo to be honest.. there is a way to expand the copper tubing but my dies start with 3/8 copper tubing then draw it down for use in 9mm jackets...so its not exactly caliber specific because u could make more draw dies and draw it down as far as u wanted to.....for a .45 bullet you would have to start with 1/2 inch tubing and draw it down to the proper dia.

i just want a set of them, but i need cheap

Yeah...I'd really like to see how you roll the bottom edges over and create the base.

yea, i'm also interested to see how the dies form the base. this is something i would really love to do.. though, making hulls from 22lr jackets are easy enough.. but would be sweet to go copper.

I anxiously await your copper jacket videos oh jacket master !!!

Can't wait to see it.....
