A bullet typically consists of two main parts: the bullet itself, which is the projectile that is fired from a firearm, and the cartridge case, which contains the propellant and primer. The "jacket" you are referring to is typically found on the bullet and serves several important purposes. A bullet jacket is often made of a harder metal, such as copper or a copper alloy, which helps reduce barrel fouling caused by the heat and pressure during firing. This, in turn, ensures better accuracy and reliability. The jacket also imparts a more streamlined shape to the bullet, leading to improved ballistic performance and higher velocities. In some cases, especially in hunting and self-defense ammunition, the jacket is designed to aid in controlled expansion upon impact with the target, maximizing stopping power. Military and law enforcement ammunition often uses jacketed bullets to provide deep penetration through barriers while maintaining structural integrity. Additionally, some lead-free or frangible bullets use jackets to reduce lead exposure and environmental impact, especially in shooting ranges. The choice of bullet design, including the use of a jacket, depends on the intended purpose and performance characteristics of the ammunition.
The key features important in a bullet jacket include the choice of material, jacket thickness, bonding, and jacket length. The choice of material for the jacket, often copper or copper alloys, is critical for durability and resistance to barrel fouling. Jacket thickness is a crucial factor that can influence the bullet's performance, as thicker jackets tend to be more robust and can withstand higher velocities or achieve deeper penetration. In some cases, bonded jackets, which are chemically or mechanically attached to the bullet's core, enhance weight retention and controlled expansion. Additionally, the jacket length is a consideration, as achieving the proper grain weight will require the correct length. Jackets can be trimmed down using a Corbin trim die to help you reach your desired length, depending on the specific requirements of the ammunition and its intended use. These features are tailored to meet the unique demands of different shooting applications, whether for target shooting, hunting, or specialized purposes.
The standard expansion is what you would expect from a thinner walled jacket. Each application is different so we encourage you to try them before you buy bulk, to make sure they meet you requirements. You can always purchase a Corbin Jacket Ogive Serrator to add more expansion if desired.
All Corbin Jackets can be used along with Corbin's Core Bond to achieve a bonded jacketed bullet.
All Corbin Jackets can be used along with Corbin's Atomized Copper Powder to produce non-lead jacketed bullets.
