I thought that some of you may find this interesting, so I made some videos of each step of my bullet making process. These are the bullets that I use in Benchrest Competition. They are 117gr 30cal bullets, 7 ogive, made on J4 jackets.
I won't go into exhaustive detail, as there are a ton of small details to consider, I am mostly just going to highlight the bigger steps in the process.
Step One: Core forming
Lead wire is cut to uniform lengths and then swaged into identical cores.
The small wire looking parts at the end are "squirts", excess lead from the forming process.

Here you can see the cut length of lead wire and the resulting core.
