Just got through testing some .308 240 grn bullets i made.

 140 or 240 grains? I see they are RBT, but core bonded, spitzers?

240 grn rbbt spitzers non bonded.
Fired from a 300 whisper 8" barrel.

I wish I could get heavy bullets with my Corbin dies. Even with a flat base light jacket round nose, they max out at 220 grains. A 240 grain would make an excellent hog round ( 220s work real well, too.)

These are with corbin dies 1.3 j4 jackets.
6s ogive spitzer.;

I'm not limited by the jacket length: the CS die set can not  safely seat the core if the jacket-core weight is slightly more than 220 grains. That is to say, there's less than .3" of space over the core that the external seating punch can fill before swagging pressure comes to bare. Just goes to show that when you order dies, you have to let the maker know how heavy your bullets are to be. That way he can provide a 'short tail' CS punch and cut the PF cavity slightly deeper.

Yes i understand  about the need for longer dies had to order
a couple for the 308/338/284/224/243/375/408/416. luckley the
308 i had would do the 240 in a 6s but not a uld.
