they are for squeezing up into 9mm or 357 bullets.
I use a NOE 140gr 8mm T/L mold for my cores.
but you can make round nose, swc, etc shapes, depending on the nose punch you use.
And Speer used to make a half jacketed SWC bullet that used that jacket or similar. I found the 146 gr. JHP version to be a great bullet in 357 magnum.
Thanks gents.Good info as usual.
