Mold for .270 or .243

[claudester]

Does anyone make a mold for the .270, say 130 gr. and the .243 with 100 to 110 gr. ?

Saeco has the #270 a 140gr bore rider that I shoot in my Rem 700.
In 243 RCBS has a 95gr and a 100gr bore rider, I have all these molds.

I will sell one of the RCBS, which one do you want?

Not for sale but I've an old Lyman #280468 Loverin in 122 grain that shoots nice over 14 grains of Unique and the RCBS 270-150-SP bore rider that's current production. The old Lyman Loverin is years out of production so you'd have to find it used. I’d chose the RBS 150 over any of the old Lyman #280473 at 123gr or 280412 at 135gr. Lighter bullets would be nice but those designs aren’t well known for accuracy. The last 150 grain bullet Lyman made was a good one. Had the lube groves in the nose. Be hard to find one though.

There have been attempts to get a light 270 flat nose bullet in a group buy but not enough interest.

New Lyman 4th edition manual has 270 Win loads for the RCBS 150 and Saeco 140gr. B.C for the RCBS is much higher than the Saeco design. Which is typical of he two designs in other calibers. RCBS is .327 while the 140gr Saeco is only .240. They are both good bullets. Out to 200 yards you'd probably not notice much difference in B.C.

In the 6mm the story is the same. Two curren production molds are the RCBS and Saeco. I run the Saeco 243 and can get it to 2040 fps over 18.0 gr Rx7 but any faster and accuracy goes to over 2.5” at 100 yards. That’s with BHN #15 bullets. That’s typical. My 270 stays around 1,950 or under also.
