The 3/8" L wall tubing is first formed into a cup, which is still 3/8" in diameter. It is then run through a draw die to reduce it to what ever caliber you want. If you want a .375 jacket you just reduce the size of the 3/8" cup you made to .371 or .372", drop in a core and swage it back up to .375". So by having a jacket making die set to work with 3/8" L wall tubing you can make jackets in .30, .323,.338, .358 and .375, by using the appropriate draw dies. I think Martin has a .50 cal jacket maker set to use 1/2" L wall. With it and the right draw dies he can make jackets for .416, .458,.510 and many others. | |||
