30 Carbine bullets

[Hunkyfish]

I grabbed a box of what I thought were 110gr round nose, but instead of the Plinkers they are the Hot Core soft points,,,, was hoping JJ or one of the other Gurus could give me a Yay or a Nay if these will be loadable in my M1 carbine & weither or not they will feed properly
Thx

Answered my own question,,,, made up a dummy round but couldn't fit in the magazine without losing all case capacity

they should cycle fine, i collect the softpoints, but shoot the fully jackets

I've either gotta return these to Ranger,,,, or trade them

Shot plenty of soft noses in Carbines with no issues.

My issue was when I started measuring fired cases and finding all sorts of different lengths. Since Carbines headspace on the case mouth I now trim all my Carbine brass to the same length, but I'm the only one I know of that does.

these are more of a spritzer & their overall length is too long for the mags,,,, I've got plenty of brass,,, just need projectiles

Oh, these are pointed projos, I now understand, you need the round nosers. Surplus Carbine bullets are about non existent nowadays.

Speer makes some for it called Plinkers,,,, basically a chunk of lead sitting in a copper cup. When loaded only the lead is exposed,,,, accurate & economical,,,, only the copper cup engages the rifling
