165-200gr mold recommendation for 300AAC

[6622729]

I love the Lee C312-155-2R mold and I also really like the NOE 311-150-SP as well. I have both and shoot both. Now I'd like to go heavier. I'm shooting a 16" AR, carbine gas and no suppressor. I'd like to find something around 165-200gr, preferably a spire point. I shoot supersonic. The NOE 311-169 looks great but no stock on the molds. I love the look of the NOE 311-198-SP but can I run something like that in my 300AAC configuration?

Lyman #50 lists loads for #311332 (180 gr). It also lists loads for #311672, but that may or may not be what you are looking for since it is 160 grains in #2 alloy.

The NOE 310-196-FN has been accurate and reliable in my 16" blackout. The boolit is a funky Eagen design with something of a truncated cone nose.

While not true spire point designs I had very good luck with the rcbs 165 sil. And the Lee 185 when I had mine a few yrs back , the Lyman 311299 is another that did rather well .I just smoothed up the feed ramps some and it ate just about anything I stuffed in the magazine and those were even the cheapo thermold 20 rd mags from cdnn that cost me 3 or 4 bucks a piece .

I use the Lee 160gr 2R TL. I haven't had the chance to shoot them super sonic yet but they seem to feed manually OK.

I've been shooting them sub-sonic using bullseye. They don't work the action and for our purpose that is just fine. No chasing brass. :)

The NOE 311365 (the 198 spire point) has been a good performer in my 10" rifle.

I use a PB version of this in the 1:8 10", Lancer mags. Works fine, ~1600fps with 1680. The PB just has most of the GC shank removed. Haven't tried the GC version yet but both work great in 336 30/30 also.
