If anyone wants samples of this bullet, PM me and i'll be glad to send some out to you.
I decided to sell this mould, because.... It casts the nose a touch large for what I want. I loaded up a batch of these bullets, and they touch the rifling in my 30-30. I know that is a good thing for accuracy, but it aint what I want. I want my bullets to drop freely into the chamber for this.
I sized them to .309 and loaded them to 2.525 COAL with brass being trimmed to 2.028. They imbed in the rifling of my rifle. I can close the bolt on them, but I dont want that.
Previously a member sent me some samples of this bullet, but they are not identical to mine. His samples have a shorter gas check shank (no issue) and the nose is a touch smaller. The meplat is a touch narrower on his, and dummy cartridges with his bullets do not touch my rifling.
Im bummed, but i've decided to sell the mould and chase down a used older mould of the same in hopes of finding what I want.
I would suggest ordering a mold from Tom at Accurate Molds. You can custom design or modify an existing mold to whatever size you want. Including the nose with an alloy of your choice. Accurate Molds. Done right the first time, every time.
Just remember to do your homework. Take good measurements. Tom will not make you what you want. He will make you what you order.....
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
