Picking up the pace! First a review of some tips and tricks sent in from viewers (thanks!), repairing a damaged boring bar, boring the die bushing to 0.701", turning the 0.700" punch and, finally, some die blanking action!

Having been a long time shooter and reloader, I am undertaking my next project for my new Emco V13 lathe: Making Copper Bullet Jackets. The process steps are to blank a copper coin out of a strip of copper, cup it, then draw it in to progressively longer and thinner-walled shapes. The goal in this project is to end up with a 9MM jacket which will be about 0.6" long and 0.352" in diameter. That jacket can then be used in a swaging system (e.g. Corbin) and combined with a lead slug to make an actual bullet!
