Abstract
Devices and methods for forming and assembling a bullet in a multi-stage press. In some embodiments, a forward component is radially oversized and forces a jacket outward during a press-fitting stage. In embodiments, the bullet workpiece does not turn over between any stages. In embodiments, one or more stages provide a reduced-diameter stem along with a radial ledge in the die to support the bullet while minimizing potential disturbances to a boat tail region from a punch.
