I have a box of that John Wayne ammunition that Winchester made in 1983-1984. The cup, core and cannelured bullet weighs 165 grains, and I have all dimensions for it. My wife and I have a corbin H shaped swager (also good for loading 50 BMG) on a heavy stand that you, 'er stand on. Question me this: At the low velocities that this bullet travels, it probably doesn't need to be bonded. Is there a market for this bullet? It is much more accurate than an all lead pill. I would sell these at #50/box. Any ballpark ideas on what I might charge. I would need to also pay for a Corbin power cannelure tool. Thanks. Would bonding be worthwhile in people's minds? | ||

I will check them out. These bullets do not need a secant ogive, but the mass of the bullet is close to ideal. Maybe I just dodged a lot of work. I will see how they perform. Thanks for posting your response. I used to live in Karup between Viborg and Herning on the Jutland peninsula. I was flying F-16s at the Nato base there. | |||

As a former Corbin swaging junkie, I would not worry about going to the trouble of bonding core and jacket for a .32-40 bullet. A nice, firm cannelure and you should be golden. I had the manual cannelure tool from Dave Corbin and much preferred the C&H. Did you ever overfly the Åland Islands? Wife's people are from there. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||
