I have some .75 inch jackets, and decided to make some light .35 calibre bullets of my design. In order to do this, I figured I needed a .280 core of something in the 80 grain range. However, as it turns out, it appears that the lightest core I can make with my core swage is 106 grains. After that point, my external punch drops below the level of the holes in the die body.
It looks like I'll need either another core swage with holes drilled lower in the body, or a longer internal punch.
I was wondering if anyone else had dealt with this problem, and what their solution was. I'm hoping there's some way to "jimmy" my existing die to make a lighter core without having to wait for an additional die or punch to be made.
