no you won't trap air if you can basically push in by hand, but if your worried core seat some then split up the sides and peel jacket away if theres any air pockets you will see them. george

bullet tip
Well, as I said before, more questions
Will be any difference in accuracy between one standard match bullet(hollow point) and the same bullet with exposed lead tip(heavier core) made in same die? |

Maybe not, but generally it is thought that having the center of gravity of bullet more towards the base of the bullet is more accurate, so the hollow point should be better, but it all depends on what your gun like best out of the bullets you can make.

agreed ,also the exposed lead tips extrude out when bullet is fired from rifling engraving the bullet this mkes bullets of slightly different lengths THIS is not good for accuracy. george

lead
There is a basic rule about how deep must be the cavity(hollow portion)? Or this is a "do and see" question?
And I just swage some 224" FB .930" lenght J4 jackets, and they come fine. But my fear is that they will not stabilize in my 1/9 tw custom rifle who the gunsmith is assembling. And If I make the same jacket in BT, the situation will be worst, i believe. Some who has first hand experience with this combo care to share? But anyway, swage your own bullet is addictive, and I hope to begin swage some more calibers soon. |

That is an interesting question. My guess is that it is not a constant.
I believe bullets made with the .930" jacket will be fine in a 1 in 9 twist barrel. That length is similar to the Hornady 75 gr BTHP. That bullet shoots really good from my 1 in 9 twist. |

same here a .930 will stabilize in a 1-9 unless you have a very long ogive length ,the bt will stabilize as well. george
