I have a mould, just got it casting pretty good. Had some burrs and such keeping it from casting round bullets (fixed).
This bullet weighs 235gr cast from 90/10 WW/LT. The nose measures .300-.302 (very slight even taper). The driving bands are going .314/.315.. There are no identifying marks on the mold. Assume maybe a custom mold built on a Lyman single cavity blank (Slightly larger block than the Lyman)? Anyone else ever see this bullet?
Bullet itself looks like someone took the best of an old Ideal 31125 and married it to a 311284. Has the nose of the 31125 but longer driving bands of the 311284.
Got some cast (waiting on gas checks) and just need to get them loaded into a few over bore Mosin Nagants and a .303 British (P-14 and Mk IV). Figure to start with 11 grains of red dot in these and maybe look for some slower powder loads as time permits.
Any thoughts on how far down I can size this? I'd love to get it down to .310 and try in a Krag, 03-A3 and a Model of 1917.
