Typical English summer evening (pissing down) here. So with all reloading finished and guns readied for the morning I find myself at a loose end and thought i'd start a thread on the 310 cadet 6 cavity group buy from a couple of years ago.

The mould is a six cavity group buy from Lee. It was at a time a couple of years ago when Lee were really dragging their heels and if I remember right, this mould took almost a year to materialise........It was worth the wait.
The mould drops all six boolits at a consistant .322 using a 20/1 pb/sn mix. I simply tumble lube in LLA.
I use 32-20 brass trimmed to 1.12". I have found that the RP and the Starline brass doesn't need the rims thinning unlike the winchester brass I tried earlier which had rims that were just a shade too thick to allow the block to close sweetly. No dies are required for loading this little sweetie. Simply decap/recap fill with 4.2 gns of Unique and thumb seat the boolit. The tackiness of the LLA will keep it in place.
They go through the chrony at 1065fps with an es of 24fps. This is a 5 shot group at 25 yards. A pretty standard target where a 10p piece(roughly quarter size) will normally cover a 5 shot group. I used to use the rcbs 310-120 RN, but that was pretty much a shotgun pattern compared to this wonderful little mould.
