I have a CZ 30.06 bolt action that I would try loading with lead. My barrel twist is 1:14. I slugged my barrel ( a first for me ) and using my calipers I'm showing .306 on the dia of the lead slug.
1. If I'm showing .306 would a .308 dia mold work ok? If I remember correctly from all the reading I've done here I believe you want the mold .02 bigger than the dia of the slug. Am I right?
2. I know a 30.06 bullet is .308 but from my searches it seems like just about everyone goes with a mold dia of .311 Wouldn't that be too big for my barrel or would my lee sizer squeeze it down enough?
3. With the 1:14 twist what bullet weight would you suggest for hunting accuracy?
I know I'm asking a lot of questions but I'm really new at casting. I have been casting for my .45 acp for about a month now and that is the only experience I have.
