I'm pretty sure I mentioned it in a post some time back...

I have read this post more than once with interest. I have a good supply of 30 Carbine 110gr JSP bullets and keep wondering about using them. I don't think that I want to set each bullet up and drill it out as you did, though(too lazy!!). I have found a 92gr LRN bullet that is working out very nicely at the current time. I am pleased with that bullet, but always looking for a FMJ or JSP bullet also. I have used the Hornady, an Sierra 86gr (.308) FMJ intended for the 30 Mauser, and they do pretty well for me. You just have to seat them below the cannalure for a correct OAL.
