Beagled a 311284

[sundog]

I was cleaning some moulds this evening that accumulated a few spot of 'red dust' over the rather damp summer we had, and decided that since I had some decent tape to clean and beagle the 311284. Several 30 bores around here don't like the smaller .299 nose on the mould I have, soooo.

Boolits came out at 217ist grains, .301x.303 on the nose, and .310x.314 on the bands. Ran some thru a .311 die and they look really good. Nose is now large enough to NOT enter muzzle on two rifles I wanted to try it in. Maybe this weekend a few testers....

About the tape, in case y'all didn't see my comment in the .303 thread, I got some Ace Flue Tape. 600dF. Good stuff. No runny glue, curly edges, etc. Stays in place.

I am new to "Beagling" but when I went looking for aluminum tape at Ace I found the flue tape. Actually they had another tape but the higher claimed temp for flue tape made sense to me also. It has worked well so far.

I do that beaging stuff all the time, I have a 7MM K98 that slugs .287X.277 in the throat/leade area so I beagled a RCBS 7MM-168 to throw a .289-290Ø on the drive bands and nose is .279-280 they have some thin fins on them but a knife takes um off easy.
I have to flair the GC's to get um to go on square then push thru a custom .288Ø die and pan lube.
I made this old 7MM shoot pretty good

Yep, I got the Ace Flu tape, and it works great for beagling. Figure that one roll of the stuff ought to be good for beagling about 2000+ molds. Now to accumulate that many is the challange!
