Just wondering who makes an alternative/equivalent to NOE's Ranch dog C311 165Gr. RF RG2 cavity GC (RD).
I have emailed NOE and have got no response. Does not look like they have made them in a while.
Preferably aluminum or steel.

Accurate, anyway you want it
Ranch Dog did not design that bullet with a hollow-point. Michael realizes that a decent meplat is all you need, which has been proven. If you don't want a real Ranch Dog 165 grain 30-30, then wait for the contraption.
I'm buying for looks, not function.Quote:

Already have half a dozen other .30 molds which cast bullets that perform their assigned duties most admirably. Just looking for something more exotic.Quote:

Too bad the Ranch Dog is not "exotic". It just kills things.

This will give you 159grs with FP and 151grs with HP, its a GC 308 Hunting (312-159 GC HP/FP) from MP-Molds, so you can have both worlds. Very accurate in 308 and 300BO.

I have this mold ^^^
Good for .308
30-30 = Ranch Dog 165
I have that MP mold as well .. its been excellent in 300 blackout, 30 Herrett and 308
You could just buy the tumble lube version then.Quote:

you need to clean your mold before you damage it. Put some Bullplate on the lead scabs, wait a few minutes and scrape off with a chop stick.
I would call Al, the number is at the bottom of his website.Quote:

If you want the GC version:

If you want the PB version:

I use the PB version because I make my own PB gas checks. Haven't tested any yet because it has been too warm here in recent weeks, hurricanes, and now cross country meets. I have a set with regular lube and another set with powder coating ready to go for two different Winchester 1894s.
Those would be great if they were offered with a hollowpoint option.
