Cast Bullets for .303 British

[HammeringHank100]

Hey Guys, I am looking for suppliers of small amounts of cast bullets to test in my
Lee Enfield No1 Mk111. Thanks, Hank

Bore and throat diamaters needed. .303 and other milsurps are all over the place on diamaters. I had one .303 that needed .317 boolits to hit paper.

Yup mine too.

My No. 4's require .318".

Try NOE (http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/index.php?cPath=31). He has some .314 moulds right now. You may need .316 however.

You might find what you need on the bullet exchange page of this forum .

I have four Lee Enfields and they all have quite oversize bores. I use the NOE 316299 sized to 0.315" and the NOE 0.314" x 129 gr. lapped to 0.316" again sized to 0.315". Both just fit into the throat at 0.315"+ and give good accuracy.

Check throat diameter and pick a size that will just fit. That is what worked for me anyway.

Yep, all over the place.
Here, No1 MkIII slugged at .312

These work great with above
LEE MOULD C312-185-1R DBL CAVITY (LEE90371)
HRN GAS CHECKS 30cal 1000/BX (HRN7070)

Cast your chamber and include the throat and a short section of rifling on the casting. Send this and a fired case to Veral Smith at LBT and have him cut a mold which actually fits your rifle. Factory produced molds are a **** shoot, bound to disappoint.

A custom mold which fits your rifle will cost less than going through a passing parade of several factory produced molds which don't work until you either give up in frustration or by blind luck manage to find the one which may be acceptable.

Do it right the first time and you will be happier.
