Searching for 30cal Jackets, or, A Quest for 7mm Pinfire

[BlackPowderBurner]

I'm going down (another) rabbit hole looking to reload 7mm pinfire for a pretty little Belgian Lefachaux copy. I'm thinking long 30cal jackets used for swaging are just the ticket for the piddly 5.5gr of fffg these rounds take. I'm only looking for a small quantity and all the usual suspects are out of stock or don't ship to Canada. Anyone have suggestions or a line on these wee beasties?

Lead bullets would be a lot easier to find. Buy the mould and cast your own.

I think the op is wanting to use the bullet jackets as a starting point to make pinfire cases? I would try contacting chinchaga bullets and see if they can help you out with a supply.

7mm pinfire cartridge cases can be made from .30 bullet jackets. I wouldn't mind getting some myself.

Yes I'd like to make up some 7mm pinfire cases. As the devotee to the Great Galena in the sky that I am, I have over 80 bullet molds at the moment and am intending on ordering a custom mold for this caliber as well. The Eley Bros. drawing that I found shows a .298 hollow base bullet that sits within the case. Some surviving continental examples seem to be a heeled design and likely flat based. It may be cheaper to order a heeled mold from Accurate than find someone willing to do up a hollow base. Crimping would then be the challenge...
