Product Description
Copper Strip is a high-quality, deep-drawing grade ASTM C11000 copper sold in flat coils of various weights. It is primarily used for drawing bullet jackets and is available in various standard width/thickness dimensions. These load directly into the Corbin Copper Strip Uncoiler for easy of use to the Corbin Hydro Press and other Hydro Press Attachments to produced your own jackets.
The default size is 1-inch wide by .030-inches thick. This is ideal for making bullets from .45 pistol (about .7 inch maximum length) and smaller, including .308, 7mm, 6.5mm, and 257 calibers. For smaller calibers, select the 5/8 x .030 strip (6mm, 224, 204, 172, and 142 calibers). Corbin Copper Strip is also commonly purchased for use in Corbin BGK-1 Base Guard Kits, to make the copper disk which fastens to the base of a bullet and scrapes fouling from the bore on each shot, eliminating the need for lubrication grooves.
The amount of parts that can be manufactured from a spool of copper depends on the size of the starting punch. Use the length specification to get a close estimate on how many pcs you can manufacturer with a given strip.
The strip is edge finished and polished, so it will pass easily through a slot for coining and cupping operations. The strip is annealed and polished, and free of nicks and scratches that would affect the quality of deep drawn parts.
