So I've been looking into this stuff for a little while. I just ordered the jacket making die to try it out and see if it is for me or not. Ordering the entire kit at almost $800 was not an option at the moment but if it seems like it is something I can get into I can get the rest incrementally. Has anyone had any experience with this or any of the other kits out there?
I'm not looking at making 'match' bullets or anything, just a steady supply of 'good enough' or 'minute of tin can' bullets. Reading on their site they recommend that the velocity be kept low because the jacket is so thin they can spin apart, same for some other varmint/match bullets too. That seems fine for plain target shooting; you'll use less powder so you get more bang for your buck too.
22 rimfire brass is EVERYWHERE at my range since it is the only brass they don't make you pick up for whatever reason. I own rimfires (hopefully an XCR rimfire...RA I'm looking at you!) so shooting those and then being able to crank something useful out of the leftovers seems like wise policy. I've reloaded for several, several years so when it comes to 'rolling your own' this just about sums it up.
