308 bullet from 9mm brass?

[DukeInFlorida]

7 cents a piece for the 5.7X28FN brass is a lot, but trading is a better option.
Over the course of the past couple of years, I have traded for nearly a full bucket of 5.7 brass.
It takes a while, but it does add up.

Can't wait to start stuffing them with lead.

My current supply of 9mm ran me 2 cents each, delivered. The 5.7 I got for a similar price but couldn't get near the same quantity.

Bump because I want a set of these soon.

Anyone had good accuracy with 9mm brass made into .308 bullets

Handy thread . Thanks

I'm sure it is possible to get good accuracy, and the 9mm 30 cal jacket certainly has some great advantages to it as far as controlled expansion and probably deep penetration, I have a post here somewhere that shows the bullet cross sectioned next to a recovered bullet shot into 5 jugs of water. The recovered bullet looked great!

I didn't get around to shooting these for accuracy. Out of my 300 WM the 178 grain bullets from 5.7 brass was a better match.

Brian do you have a picture of the 178s for 5.7? I would be curious to see ho much lead is exposed.

[BT Sniper]

Was no lead exposed, had larger meplat, was around 176 grains. All my initial testing of 30 cal was with this bullet out of a 300wm.

The real question is, Could you replicate the BiB 118 grain used in the 30 BR case..? 7 ogive/.0625 meplat, .3087 pressure ring; .3083 Shank???????????
