I wanted to mention that the Ballistic Coefficient calculated by the software is .333. In my opinion, that will help the long range accuracy of this design. Assuming a decent throat, one should be able to use this design with good success in the 7x57 and 7mm-08. Just a little food for thought.

Can you just confirm please Ed whether the handles for a four cavity mould will be scissors or nutcracker type.

Would this boolit go well with a Ruger No.1 in 7x57?
The handles for the 2 and 4 cavity molds are the scissors/pliers type.

I cannot say for positive that it will work in your Ruger. I'd say there's a good chance it will but the only way to know for sure is to do a chamber cast or an impact slug of the throat. On my 7TCU the nose touches the rifling about .250" from the tip of the boolit when loaded to have the crimp groove align with the top of the case. YMMV.

Post #25 shows how 357maximum loads it in HIS 7mmTCU.
Hopefully that helps you.

This would be my first rifle mold so I don't know exactly what/how to makes sure of what I need.
In that case, here is what I'd do. Take an empty sized case, insert a 7mm flat base jacketed bullet upside down (so the flat base is pointed out), push the bullet into the case just enough for the case to hold the bullet, take the assembled dummy and gently load it into your rifle. The throat will push the bullet deeper into the case. This final location of bullet seating gives you a fair guess of the throat length; the bullet above the case will be a rough throat measurement. If the bullet is sticking out of the case less than 1/4", this boolit should work decently. There is more to it than that but you'll have a very good chance that this boolit sized to .287" to .288" will shoot for you.
Hope this helps you.

P.S. If anyone else wants to jump in with some helpful info, please do. IMHO, we are all here to give and get help with our hobby.

Great to see we have the 10 for the initial amount in just a few days.
Hope we can double or triple it for a better price break.

YOU DA' MAN...THANK YOU for doing this. It feels real good knowing I will have a back up to my single cavity that you modded. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I will take a 2 cavity mold please with a set of handles.Is paypal an option for outside of USA buyers....as international cheques in USA$ drawn on USA bank are very expensive in Australia. Obviously I would pay extra paypal surcharge so no one is out of pocket.I could send cash in mail but that does not seem very safe.Kind regards Peter.
Peter,
I can work with you on the payment, no problem. I believe PP will work for payment. Your shipping will be more, but we'll work thru that too. You are on the list.

Putting aside the politics of Paypal it works very well for GBs and buys from the US.
I'd be frightened to think how much I've put through Paypal for stuff from Cast Boolits.
Before that it was Western Union cheques and that was a hit and miss affair.

To be perfectly honest, I hadn't even thought about receiving funds through PayPal. I have heard some stories about their policies that kinda made me fearful of taking in monies through them. I've used PP to pay for stuff for years and for the most part have had no complaints. Since I am learning about this Group buy thing, I am sure I'll overlook some good ideas. That being said, I'll add Paypal to my methods of payment. I understand there is a fee of about 4% from them so I'll have to include that if PayPal is used. I like you guys, but I can't quite see helping to pay for your molds out of my fixed income.Putting aside the politics of Paypal it works very well for GBs and buys from the US.
