Is anyone out there using the Corbin die set to make their own .223 Full-Metal Jacket bullets? I've been thinking about buying this die set. If you are doing this yourself, please let me know. If not, you may want to check it out here:
Corbin Rimfire Jacket-Maker Die Set RFJM-22
This uses common .22 long-rifle fired cases to form the .223 bullet. The cost appears to be around $800+ I figure that I'd shoot a lot more if I made my own FMJ bullets, as this is now the major cost factor for me. Primers and powder aren't very expensive. I'd have to make around 5,000 bullets to break even, but I think I'd do that fairly quickly, especially if I had friends who would like to help me make them.
So please let me know. I've heard these are pretty accurate bullets when you make them correctly.
