Riley, I'll see what I can do for a pic. The 140 CE and the 160 Corbin jacket Matrix are so close in shape and length it's kinda odd, Outlaw I don't know if your going to stabilize that Matrix or not, if you don't let me know and I'll buy them back from you.

Rhian, Marshal uses corbin jackets? I wasnt sure but i thought he used j4s, i bet the corbins are quite a bit softer, i am going to try sending one into some milk jugs at reduced velocity today if i can make it out.

He recently started using both, the first 160's I had were on the J4 and they are a little shorter bullet because the jacket is thinner on them. The Corbin has a thicker base and shank but the nose thins out real thin, it should allow for excellent expansion but the heavy shank should control it to a degree and allow it to be pushed from some of the cases that would smoke a J4.

Ok cool, so would it be safe to say mine are the corbin jackets? And a thicker base makes me happi, happi, happi. I think an amax with the back 1/3 of it bonded would be about the best long range hunting bullet, Richs are pretty awesome too, i might have to give a "donation"......

I hear you brother, I'm not sure if it'll get'er done or not. The first thing I thought when I opened thte box of 160's was how similar to the 140 CEB they were. If they won't stabilize, I will let you know.
I've got a pretty good feeling about the 142's though....
Stay tuned

Since they are heavier and slightly shorter they will stabilize easier. Hope they work out for ya

Me too! If the BC holds true, combined with my WSM, this could be a REALLY fun cartridge

I'm guessing the BC is a little inflated but still an interesting bullet.

I don't know enought about form factors & BC calculation to even make a useful S.W.A.G.
I'll start where most folks are & adjust accordingly. Time to get'er cleaned up & start the loading process again

HA! With the group buy Chad's got going on right now I'm just praying he'll have my 7saum done before the snow flies. He's turning barreled actions around it 48-72hrs...

Nope (thank god). Just doing a couple hundred barreled actions in the next few weeks. Some of them have gone out the same day they arrived... busy, busy
I posted a link to the SH thread in the Gunsmithing Secion but I either screwed up or Len took it down.
