Lyman 311299 measurements

[dezynco86]

I am thinking about purchasing the Lyman 311299 bullet mold and was wondering if anyone out there has this mold. I need the length of the nose of the bullet.

I'm planning to use this bullet in my 300 Whisper AR-15 and need to know if the bullet will actually fit into the magazine. I'm currently running a RCBS30-180 that feeds and shoots well, but I have to seat so much of it into the case that it comes up a little short in the magazine. I can leave the bullet seated out a little ways exposing the grease grooves, but if I go out too far the nose of the bullet jambs into the chamber throat.

If anyone has the Lyman 311299 bullet mold, I would really appreciate the measurements of the bullet.

Thanks!

Thanks Carl! I'll go take a few measurements to see if it will fit.

They probably change a bit every time they make new or regrind the cherry too...Ray
