Or, just change the core volume/weight . . .

Think VOLUME, not weight. RG P.S. Consider lube a necessary evil: use it sparingly - especially if using carbide dies. |

If you had a small selection of punches all a tad on the small size would you increase core volume until you get a minute ring of lead of after you seat the core in the jacket.

However, assuming that by small, you mean smaller than you'd like for your chosen weight, but which did, when inserted into the cup, contact the walls at a point above the projected tangent point of the shank/nose, then no. Just the opposite: one would reduce the core length/volume to match the punch diameter, expanded-up core, & jacket-wall thickness, to a degree which would afford the preferred small bleed-by . . . more volume would move the top of the core to a LARGER position (internal diameter) along the taper (I'm assuming a tapered jacket wall, a la J4), necessitating a LARGER punch diameter. I believe, that a LIGHTER bullet would be the order of the day - I think. RG Last edited by Randy Robinett; 04-05-2013 at 12:54 PM. |

Other Ways To Look At Core Seating
Some as we saw earlier want to cast cores out of surplus lead. Fine says I if you have a journeyman bullet making die set for making varmint and plinking bullets. I would suggest a small punch set all undersized. Cast cores might be harder than the 1/2 % lead wire I use but do-able.
Those that try comeback on us I want te hear. Stephen Perry |

Day 4 Belongs With Day 1,2,3.
Day 4 should always follow Day 1,2,3.

Randy I have a Ruger 77 V in .308. What bullet weight would you recommend for shooting out to 600 yd.

Hunting I use Sierra's or Hornady's sst's in the 150 to 165 range. Not that there are not other brands of bullets that will do just fine. It's just I have tried some of the others and the ones I mentioned gave better accuracy in my rifle. amos |

I only make 22 & 6 bullets so I have to listen to what others make or recommend in other calibers, might have some of the bullets you shoot. Stephen Perry |
