Surely the diameter is .309?

Neat design, I don't recognize it.

Okay, that's more like it. Just guessing but it looks like the older version of the RCBS 30-180-SP. The second version was turned into a true spire point./beagle

Merci, Beagle.

Yep, that's the one.

Sorry I didn't see the post sooner. Here is a photo of the box and the mould. I bought this mould shortly after RCBS bought Ohaus out. Paid all of $12.74 for it at the time.

It's a really good design for most 30 cal rifles, although it favors rounds with long necks like the 30/06, the 30 Remington and the 30/40 Krag.

Superb answer!

Anyone know if that bullet is tapered like my Loverin 311467?

[Scharfschuetze]

It's a long body design that doesn't reduce in diameter until just forward of the scraping groove.

Look at Holo's photo of the boolit in the digital calipers. It will clarify your question.
