230gr LSWC, is there such a bullet?

Saw an ad of a local fella who sells these. What exactly do they look like? Will they feed reliably compared to 200gr LSWC? Are there any load data for these bullets?

Thanks.

I saw a load in one of my books and thought it was strange.I will see if I can't find it and get back to ya.I never saw a 230gr.swc so the load kind of struck me as odd but they do sell them.What Co.I would like to try some.

.1250 OAL 200gr SWC (left), .1160 OAL 230gr SWC (right). I had to seat it that low in order to get it to feed reliably.

That's something new for me, thanks for posting.
