Buy a good set of dies, I have 3 sets, 2 long range and a set short range. Or 105 weight and 65 grain weight. Buy correct jackets 1.150" J4 for long and .825" for short. I source the lead cores through a vendor that will cut them to about any weight to the tenth of a grain. These are ordered after weighing jackets. Combined weight of jacket and core are desired finished weight. Die sets have 2 dies, core seat (lead) and point die. I seat cores first then point them. It takes lots of time to produce quality bullets not a good option for resale. I do it as a hobby, and do enjoy seeing the transformation to finished product. I did not go into the punches needed. Core seat punches as well as boattail punches.
