When casting for 30-30, velocity at least 1500 fps, should the bullets be water cooled or just dropped out of the mould.
I have never cast for rifle only. but cast tons for 44 mag.

Can I get some mfgs of multi cavity (4-6) for a 30 cal for 30-30, no gas check, 150 gr. ? I can find 2 cavity, gas checks molds everywhere, but for the bigger molds, not so many.

I know RCBS makes the cowboy moulds, but who else still makes them.
