Yes, 30 carbine is .308 diameter. The 110 grain .308 round nose bullets are what I use in 30 carbine.

Thanks 348W. I guess that bullet is seated a little too far into the case then on the one I chose to measure.

I've never reloaded for my 30 carbine but if I did, I'd start with the Speer plinker bullet. It's the cheapest bullet out there suitable for the carbine and is a .308 diameer bullet. It's the one with the entire lead round nose exposed in front of a short jacket. I used to use them in my 30-30 for fun plinking loads.

I finally found some of those H257! Only they were Hornady 100 grain. Just a lead cone and copper jacket body. Picked them up ar SW Sat.

Let us know how the reloading went. My buddy is a prolific reloader and those little carbine bullets have been giving him fits. Bullet seating appears to be the problem and getting them to ultimately function in the rifle.

My only regret was leaving that one box behind...still can't figure out why. I guess the shock of finding them, PLUS those sr primers was just too much for me.
