RCBS Cast Manual # 2

[Wayne S]

Trying to guestmate the B C of a 311365 & 311299, the RCBS 200 Sil. comes close in shape and RCBS should list the B C in their # 2 manual

RCBS only made the #1 manual and it does not list the 200 grain bullet. Lyman lists the B.C. for the 311299 @ .377

Wayne, I did not see any data for the 311365 in the Lyman Third Edition other then it other then it weighs 198 grains is a SPT.G.C. that uses #329 top punch. I found a picture of it in the Lyman cast bullet book with the Sharps rifle on the cover, and the nose profile reminds me of 311413, pointy with very little nose support. The 311299 has a good track record and is still being made for that reason and would be my first choice of the two moulds that you have.

Doc,
Thanks,
I was pondering on the NOE GB for the 311365, NOE says that about .70" of the 1.2 OAL is bearing, but like you say the 311299 has a good history
