Curious if there are any recommended books addressing the manufacturing or production of jacketed bullets? I see there are a few for cast bullets, but there does not appear to be much (anything?) available for jacketed.
 
Not sure about books but at castboolits there are lots of info on manufacturing your own with swage dies and what not, people using shell casings to jacket lead bullets. 22LR for 223 and i think 40 cal for 45 bullets.
 
Their is some good info on accurate shooters or benchrest central on making benchrest quality bullets. The price of good carbide dies will scare you though. You will also need modified presses or purpose built ones. The purpose built presses are around 1500 us . I gathered some stuff up but my budget fell through before i could order dies. Hopefully in the spring.

No trouble - I'm only looking for information, not looking to get into the business of manufacturing.
 
Are you planning on making your own jackets or purchasing jackets?

CenterX and Corbin are the main manufacturers and suppliers of the equipment needed to make the jackets and cores.

Bullet manufacturers, such as Berger and Sierra use the Corbin J4 jackets for their match grade bullets.

Corbin's website has a lot of information on the process and will direct you to other sources of information along with videos.

I believe J4 jackets are owned by Berger, Sierra makes their own I believe as you can buy sierra jackets. Their is also Hynes Jackets.
