Who made the mould for this boolit ??
150 gr
.312
I bought this bag of 50 boolits.. tag said sized .311....
There were 42 boolits
8 were sized .312
34 were sized .323
I pan lubed them then tried to run one thru my Lee .314 sizer (which is .313, by the way) to get the excess lube off.. otta just slip right thru, right ? NOT !!
Got kinda tight..
Anyway, long story short, sized them, loaded them, shot them... Shot great...
I want sommore...
So, any ideas who made the mold,
Thanks

The mold may be available on a used venue, its out of production now. The bands are .323 nominal, but the nose forward of the crimp groove is .311 nominal - as you point out they can be sized and shot in .30 calibers very easily as well as the .32 or 8mm as a light load 150 gr. PB.

So that's why I didn't see it in the Lyman "catalogue"...
Thank you Sir...

Razor,
You're welcome. I posted a thread about the .32 remington pump & some other guns, with a load for this bullet as a small game load. This is the thread - http://www.castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=18590&highlight=321298
If the thread doesn't work, just search for 321298.
