Anyone casting the lyman 311041? If so, what size are they dropping? They list it as .309 and I assume that is with #2 alloy.

I ‘m interested in casting for a Winchester 94. Anyone shooting these out of a 94?

That design and the 311291 are the classic 30WCF mould design. They'll drop anywhere from .307-.311+ depending on the particular mould and your alloy. IIRC, check the Lyman manual, the hunting load with those designs runs 28-30 gr IMR 3031. Start below and work up.
