I'm betting if somebody would do a group buy on a 6-hole Lee C309-113-F "soup can" bullet exactly the same as the factory 2-hole mold bullet, it would go over big with us 30-30 shooters. I don't know how to honcho a group buy and don't want to learn or I'd do it..

????????? Both my old Lee 2 cav C309-113F's drop'em at dang near .314". I take it you don't want that? I routinely sized'em to .309" for a 03A1 Springfield and they're just dandy.

My 2 holer soup can mold casts them a uniform .3095" to .310".

Well, my 2-holer drops them at .312. Exactly as which factory mould do we want to duplicate??

I would think .312 would be about perfect for me, I usually size mine at .310 or .311 depending on the gun. I will get in on this buy for a fact.

Bear, it isn't a group buy. I was trying to get someone to make it a group buy. Obviously, there's interest in a 6-hole version of the 2-hole mold.

From cruising some forums with a lot of super cheap shooters, aka Mosin Nagant owners and my experience with a Hungarian M44, it would be nice to see a super fat .30, .316-.318" for some of the sewer pipe size barrels out there.
Mine is .314" and I have tried making a die at .315" to just crimp the gas check and sizing down a .324" 8mm bullet, neither has been very satisfactory, so the M44 is a closet queen now.
I would think a soup can would be nice, but a 150-175gr rfn would be nice , too.
