Highrpm105,
I have that mold. I use wadcutter data for the particular mold due to deep seating required to crimp in the groove. It looks like a wadcutter with a truncated nose. Below are some...

I use both and either work just fine. I favor the RCBS for shorter boolits. The single row of holes seems to help that. I have read of folks putting shot in the holes to block them off if needed but...
Reply from Lee:
Hi Joe,
Thanks for reaching out! .504" nose to crimp groove.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thank You,
Bazoo,
Thank you. That is what I needed. This would put the gas check below the neck if seated to the crimp groove in a 270 Win. case.

I use the mp the 311-410 pb mold in the attached link for said purpose. Not as economical as the Lee molds mentioned but I wanted the hp option. Usually pushed with 3.5 to 4.5 grains of bullseye or...

I used a piece of 1/4” x 2” aluminum flat bar. Drilled and countersink holes in the same location as the one that comes with the pot. Works great for all types and sizes and it was free from the...

Congratulations. Very nice. The practice is paying off.
Sounds like you have a good hunting load for that 348

As mentioned Winchester 231 will work fine for the 358311 in 38 special.
