New 38/9mm .660-In. Jackets

PRESS RELEASE:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
White City, OR.

Bullets made with J-38-660 jacket A new, tapered-wall bullet jacket made to meet the demand for a high-expansion, medium to low velocity bullet in the heavier weights for .38, 9mm, .380, 38 Super, and light weight .358 and 9.5mm rifle calibers is available from Corbin. The photo shows two examples of bullets made with the new jacket. The wadcutter weighs 195 grains, and the round nose open tip weighs 135 grains. The wadcutter could be formed into a soft point by using the same point form die that shaped the open tip bullet.

The new jacket is 0.670 inches long, with a .015 to .025 tapered wall. The jackets weigh 26 grains. The thin walls give better expansion at normal pistol speeds and at reduced rifle velocities suited for plinking, light loads, and light weights than do typical .030-.040 wall hunting jackets or .026 or heavier pistol jackets. The length is well suited to full jacket designs (reverse the jacket so the base is open, rolled with a Corbin FMJ base rolling punch in the point form die) as well.

The jacket catalog number is J-38-660. The new jackets are drawn from high quality gilding metal stock, and are packaged in double .004-mil poly bags. This arrangement prevents oxidation of the jackets in long storage, yet lets the user open and reseal the inner bag (which is folded and taped lightly). Each bag contains approximately 250 jackets (packaged by weight).

Corbin also offers .38/9mm thin-wall, high expansion jackets in lengths of .377, .442, and .500 inch. These are the J-38-377, J-38-437, and J-38-500. (The J-38-437 actual length has been increased slightly to allow for longer ogives in modern autoloaders.) See price list.

The J-38-660 jackets can be ordered from:
