Hi there...
I recently acquired an NOE 311-199-SP-K5 4 cavity 2GC 2PB mold.
This will be used in an M1a for practice shooting and possibly an M1903 Springfield.
I'm concerned that I can't...

I'm just thrilled to be reading that cast boolits function well in this weapon. I've been looking at ammo/reloading costs for this rifle and shuddering. With 20-35 cents for the jacketed bullet, 4...

Well I did a search of the whole forum on "M1a" and it returned nothing. I thought that odd so I posted this question. And lo and behold, there's the sticky.

Have you tried a lighter boolit? I have the 230gr RCBS Cowboy mold and I've been working up a load for mine without a lot of success. Since handgun powder is impossible to find these days, I'm...

I use (of all things....) Unique in my #1 with the Lyman 366gr boolit. It's in their loading manual.
Shoots very well, albeit I don't hunt and just shoot for the enjoyment.
