A friend contacted me and told me that he was making .14 jackets from .17 jackets in a 2 draw process.
Dave Corbin has this on his website for core sizes

List of wire size for calibers (jacketed):
.100-inch .14 drawn jackets
.125-inch .17 and .20 caliber
.185-inch .224, .243, .257, .264
.218-inch .270, .284, .308 thick wall
.247-inch .308, .312, .318, .323, .338
.275-inch .348, .350 tubing jackets
.312-inch .355, .357, .366, .375
.340-inch .400, .410, .416, .423
.365-inch .429, .452, .458
.390-inch .475, .500 thick wall
.430-inch .500, .510, .512
