.14 cal gr. bullet
 

I need some 15 gr. bullets plus or minus, that measure .144 at the pressure ring and have a .1435 body diameter. Please contact me if you have any you want to part with.

Thanks,

John

14 caliber bullets
 

In order to get the exact bullets I wanted bought bullet making press and dies. Have dies for several different bullet calibers, shape points, weights etc and multiple bullet presses. Made swagged and turned bullets over the years .10 caliber to shotgun slugs. Even though I have the ability to make my own seldom do. It is easier to buy them from bullet makers that do it to make a profit. From your past post you were not satisfied with what is available. Making your own allows you to order dies to make exactly the bullet you want.

Unless availability has changed dramatically since I investigated you need to be prepared for a LOOONG wait for the dies.

The wait for dies etc
 

The wait now is usually longer than it was several years ago. Doubtful it will get shorter, as the die makers get older will probably be longer. The list of die makers is not growing with an abundance of new people anxious to get in the business. I have made some of my equipment, not a quick, easy task but cut wait time. Bottom line is the wait starts after you order, not while waiting to decide or for someone else to step up and get in business. Most that are making the subcaliber bullets they shoot have no desire to go into business making to sell. The number of steps involved in making a quality 14 caliber bullet is why I usually buy instead of making my own. The number of people making them to sell is very limited. Making your own is one of the few options available especially if you are not satisfied with what is available

Why not just design one you like in copper, and have them made in a bulk order on a CNC machine by a company that already makes small caliber CNC bullets. I can think of three companies that have produced .172" turned projectiles.

If you want something in a standard cup and core design you are probably going to be stuck with what ever is left over from those that have already been made.

What twist do you have, what is the case capacity?

.14/221 Eichelberger
 

Hi Scott,
Good to see someone interested in .14 caliber. The cartridge is .14/221 Eichelberger. I am not chrono graphing them, the speeds I have are from the loading data a friend gave me for the powder I am using. The data was generated from a computer program he has. The speeds are between 3700 and 4100 fps and all were under an inch at 100 yards. Around 3800 was the best at .75 in. The barrel is a Pac-Nor 1 in 7,
3 groove super match barrel.
