I bought the Lee C312-155-2R mold and cast up a bunch of boolits. I sized to .309 and shot in 30-06 & 308. I sized to .311 and shot in my Mosin Nagant. I loaded 16 gr of 2400 in all three cases and they all shot wonderfully. Anyone looking for a nice 30cal all around rifle mold, you can't go wrong with this one.

Yep. I have the 160 gr TL version. I apply the gas check with a .314 sizer and shoot them as sized, for moa accuracy out of my Mosin Nagant (same load, 16 gr. 2400). 13 gr. Red Dot is also great. Probably would have gone for the 155 if I had to do it again, for the standard grease groove, but the TL works fine.
I use it with great results in my .300 Savage Model 99 sized at .309 too. Just right.
Oh yeah, have to add that it works very well in my K31. The two radius ogive accomadates the short leade in the Swiss rifle. The 1R's can't do it.

I have to agree , easy to cast with and good results in my sks and mosin
I agree The 312-155 was my very first mould and has shot great in everything I have tried it in. Another you should consider is the .312-185 mould
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
OK...I will have a look at that one too. I'd eventually like to hunt with cast boolits...still working out all the details. Thanks.Originally Posted by RU shooter
