Would this boolit style work well in a 30-30 tube magazine?

I would say no.

Would this be a good one to use in a M1 Garand? Say compared to the 311299?

I would assume so.

Is there a link to the dimensions of this bullet in both .311" and .314"?
A deplorable that votes!
The front portion of the boolit doesn't exceed .300 tapering into the 311 or 314 bands.

Seriously? I have to guess?
Is it a secret?

I will ask MIHEC. Not a secret...but his molds are never listed that was unless you just happened to be the person who spec'd them out.

Man, if only this mold had a crimp groove...I am not sure as to whether I could get away with just taper crimp for a semi auto system such as AK.
you can still roll crimp it, just not as heavy. The Lee FCD works well with that
Is this mold available in 8 cavity aluminum?
Or just brass 6 cav?
8 cavity aluminum not possible. I wanted it to be so...but was corrected. Thanks for your input.

I have one of the originals w/HP, "thee" worst mold for dropping bullet out of 80+ molds I own..
Fact is the mold is completely unusable if you want more than a 1/2 doz. bullets from an hours worth of casting..
Should add a have a few other Mihec molds that work beautifully..

Some of that 1st batch of molds worked and we who had the sticky molds were told (by those who had good molds) to tweak our alloy and or casting temperature to get the bullets to drop..
After close to two months of trying to get the mold to drop bullets I modified the draft on the grease groove with a scraping tool to give it more draft negating any return policy that Mihec may have I am sure..
Still no love..
If I ever revisit that mold I will lap the grease groove to make it shallower and add more draft..
In hindsight I should have sent the mold back to Mihec from the get go..
Sorry you had a bad experience. What are your suggestions on how to remedy the hang ups. Or is it that the hollow point tears out the side. Maybe a shallower wider pin will fix it.
