Hey Yall!
I shoot tons of 300 aac subs. TONS! Mostly at pigs, some at targets to get better at shooting pigs at varying ranges with subs. I recently acquired a super cool set of .308 dies and a ton of 1.3 J4s from a gentleman on the boards and am considering if I can make heavy (220ish) 308 expanding bullets.
I was considering using dead soft lead and then annealing the jacket after point form. I know the bullets would have to be stood upright during annealing. I could leave a reasonably wide meplat, though my bolt gun is meplat finicky. It hates the .311-247 NOE bullet Ive been shooting. That fact almost got me ran over by some pigs a week or two ago. Im considering building a new bolt gun anyhow so thats not an issue really. I could also acquire one of BTs XTP dies if necessary.
Has anyone tried this? Any thoughts?
