Does anybody out there have any of this ammo? It's Cor-Bon DPX, for .30 Carbine. It uses a Barnes Triple Shock X 100gr. hollowpoint bullet.
The reason I ask is, I just bought some of these bullets from Barnes, and the salesman gave me load data for H110, but I forgot to ask what the recommended COAL is for loaded rounds.
I'm just wondering if anybody has some of these Cor-Bons, and can tell me what the COAL measures? Not interested in debates about the bullets/cartridges/Cor-Bon/Barnes, I only want the over-all length of the loaded round.
These bullets are not catalog items, so there's no load data for them in any books, nobody even carries the bullets for sale, Barnes makes them just for Cor-Bon. I just happened to call Barnes asking where I could get them, and the guy said they just happened to have some available from a production over-run, because they've had so many requests for them. They're not even listed on the Barnes website, or the PDF poster of their products.
If anyone's interested, the Barnes # is 30800, and you have to order them directly from Barnes. Very aggressive hollowpoints, I want to load some up for home defense and possible deer hunting. They're supposed to be excellent for deer.
Thanks!
