[Lewel]

I have reloaded for over 30 years. I am abo u t to start reloading 30 carbine & am having trouble finding 110gr soft point bullets or 110gr H P.

Can someone tell me where I can find the bullets I am looking for?

Thanks, Lewel

30 carbine -

I found these some time back-- tried them in my Ruger Blackhawk and ordered 20 boxes-- just saying

Here was a range test-- there are 3 groups here, left, center and right--

She is stocked with Hippo Ivory--

Not 110 grains, but the 100 grain .30 Speer Plinkers work most acceptably in .30 Carbine, either carbine or revolver. I don't think there is any shortage of 110 grain jacketed bullets. I have loaded .30 Carbine with bullets up to 130 grains.

Check Widners or Natchez.

Keep your brass trimmed for that Blackhawk.

Man you are right! Took me a long time to figure that one out-- my main reason for getting a Sinclairs version of the Wilson trimmer was just for the carbine brass.

Thanks for posting the Hornady pics of the 110 grain "plinker" bullet. Thought they had been discontinued some years back. We used to call them "SJ"S what with the short jacket. Frank

I bought a Lyman bullet mold 35 years ago. I got the current version of #3118 with a gas check (a necessity for 30 Carbine), 117 FP for 32-20, I later found a used 123 RB-GC with is good for 7.62x39 also.

I think there are molds based on powder coating now, so you wouldn't need the gas checks at these velocities either (1800-2300 fps). That 32-20/30 Carbine mold has been my most often used mold. I size from .308 to .314", so I load all kind of 30 calibers and 32's with it.

If I were starting over I would get cast to diameter molds for powder coating, the coating kit from Harbor Freight, and a toaster oven and be done with it! The coatings come in different colors so you can use the colors to code different loads in the same cartridge. Then you know BLACK bullets are Cowboy, GREY are standard and RED are +P. Or different colors are different diameters say .309, .311 & .314. or .355 and .357 or .451/2, .454, & .458/9 (or the rare .450's & .455's). I have one rifle that uses .330 bullets unlike most 8mm's that use .323. It would have saved a lot of trouble to color code similar bullets!

thanks

Thank you all for the info. I will be putting it to good use.

I will use it in my Ruger & M1 carbine.

$80/1000, no leading, no lube mess, these are now my favorite for M1 Carbine loading. They do need to be seated slightly reaper than Armscor's.

These are all I've ever used.

Of course, they're listed as out of stock / limited production. Those over 14gr of H110 keep my CMP carbines running.
