    I figure it's someone's 311041 at 0.311" X 0.995" and around 175 grains. I was in the right place at the right time, I hope, with my .303 Savage on my mind. Any idea what it is?

    It looks like a 311041with the crimp groove.

    Bullshop that was my first guess, but when I looked at a picture of it in the RCBS catalog it did not show a crimp groove.

    Looks like a more or less perfect hunting boolit.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
