superior .30 cal grease groove boolit for paper patching?

[wmitty]

I'm asking for opinions here; does someone feel there is a particular .30 grease groove design that is head and shoulders above the others as far as being suitable for paper patching? I realize N.O.E. is making the moulds for the N.R.A. p.p. designs but if a grease groove design works well I'd like to go that route - it would seem to be more versatile.

Loverin types always have worked for me. Lots of bearing surface.

I use Lee molds. They work great with paper.

Depending on what the caliber is that you are patching up to, then I would say yes you can. I use .30 cal. lube groove boolets for patching up to use in my .303/7.62 Russ. cal rifles.Robert

How far up on the nose do you wrap these, the top groove or over the ogive?

I like the Loverin types, too.

Just saying.
Preferred boolit profiles vary from one manufactures rifle to another do to there magazine style. It would be helpful to know which rifle brand /model are you interested in patching?

Normally over the ogive so no lead touches the bore. Of course everything depends on how the specific rifle is chambered and all the relevant dimensions.

Are you referring to the 311407 and 311467 designs?

[Nobade]

Yes, exactly. Not those specifically but anything that has that general shape, mostly body with a very short nose. The bore rider designs work also, if you have one I wouldn't hesitate to use it. But I find the best results with the Loverin types.

loverin design suits me.
Nose riders work too.

Cast bullet engineering in oz makes a 0.301 pp bullet mould.
If I buy another 30 cal gun with a 300 or 301 bore I'd buy one of them.

I need 302-303 to make mine work for me.
