I'm in the shed right now clearing shit in the direction of the press :D
I wish!
I'm in Korea doing stuff with this
35098
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.
A lot more aggressive and split than the pic shows
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 http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/12/yjyhebar.jpg
Split about 1/2 from case...
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...
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. ...
Fucking Chinese 3kw transformer puked on me :(
Got cores swaged, seated and 1st stage of boat tail formed.
Around 197gr at the mo IIRC.

Gloves :D
Wire making Vid
Turns a 110mmx19mm billet from the mould Veitnamcam made for me into 1100mm of 6mm diameter wire for use as cores for 30 cal jacketed projectiles
Uses approx 2000 psi to push it...
Funny you should ask. Waiting for a mate to arrive and we're going to squirt some wire tonight
What size was the HP and how deep?
Not the BLK guys- 30 cal :)
End of the day it doesn't matter if its a WM RUM 308 or BLK, if its doing 1050fps the performance is going to be the same
I started on this 'project' prob before the BLK...
No wire making this weekend as the button I have is for the 44s- forgot to sort the 30 cal
Arse
Will get it sorted Monday
Bearing surface IS huge
It will be reduced with the rebated boat tails and some more refinement work in the front end
I don't see it being an issue but if it is I have got a bore rider (stepped)...
Just went to mates and poured a couple of billets in Cams sweet mould tubes he made
Perfect!
Billets just shock straight out.
Wire making tomorrow :)...
Wasn't going to chance fate
Got all the possible bases covered that I can come up with
AMP jackets, serrated jackets, split core and ball to fill the tip and initiate exp
Maybe not?
I'm out of wire to try a 180
Started to melt some lead on the BBQ today and it started to spit. Fuck that for a laugh!
Just for you cam- found another bit of wire
204gr with ~7mm ball in the hollow point - fits jacket perfect
Next to 235 RN
I fucked up point form on the yellow tip- too much pressure hence the...
Light as you want really within reason
I was just jamming lead in to see how heavy could go
200gr would prob work sweet with jacket closing around the nose of the ball like my 44 cal ones I did...
Found an off cut of wire so had a play
1st 4 30 cal
All with serrated jackets and split cores
They are rough as I wanted to see what weights can be made
From left to right 230gr 1E, 245gr 1E ,...
You'll get a few lol
Ill send you some up to have a play with when done
Will just be flat base as wont have chance to sort the rebates boat tails immediately
The jackets ill be using are Hornady AMP jackets.
Measure 0.4mm thick in the nose section
