Thread: Subsonic 308

Fucking Chinese 3kw transformer puked on me
Got cores swaged, seated and 1st stage of boat tail formed.
Around 197gr at the mo IIRC.

Looking good man

Went and got another TX
Without ball 196gr, with 198gr - ball is 6mm.
HP is almost 12mm deep and about 4.2 at case mouth.
They should stabilize ok in a 10 or 11 twist as no weight up front.
Jackets serated
Cores not X split as the punch is designed around ~220gr weight. There is a lot of dead space in the front of these an this a little short.
Not sure if the RBT has enough forming pressure as the transition has a roundish corner on it and would like it to be sharper.

Cool:thumbup:
Is there not enough length in the punch to run it further in separate the core?
How about if the jacket was shorter?

Core splitter punch is used in the jacket after seated. If run down further the jacket gets stuck on the punch
Not a prob where the lead is closer to the mouth on a heavier pill.
Could make jacket smaller but a lot of work.
These are AMax AMP jackets

You can see the split core in this pic. It has picked up copper and peeled it down on top. Looks mint but stuck on the punch
Split about 1/2 from case mouth

That looks the biz

A lot more aggressive and split than the pic shows

Dumb question, but what are you going to end up with weight wise, and how does that differ from available 30cal heads ?

150-250gr ish
RBBT
Serated jackets
Split core
Huge HP or balls
1E or 6S nose
In a Amax AMP jacket

Based on the current die selection almost endless options of things you can't buy.

Looking good, keen to see how it goes on game?

Kewl, designer ammo had to look up RBBT.

Did you just get 30 cal dies or others as well ?

If you're coming out for a shoot tomorrow, bring you fly rod, can do version 0.1 of a casting lesson.

Any closer to poking out some bullets @Spanners ?
