    .3015 and .308 molds for paper patch bullets?

    Looking for two molds, second hand or order new.
    .3015 x 150-160 grain for lever action, 308 x 150 spitzer or spitzer-ish.
    Looking for info and recommendations, please!
    Everybody grab a shovel, we got a swamp to drain.

    You can size down a 308 dia bullet and it will work ok.
    Noe or accurate I think makes a 301 pp moulds on the Lyman style. Both are pointy thou.

    A 150 Lee fp or the 308466 I have used and works.
    The loverin if you got one seemed to work better for me with all the grooves to hold the paper.

    That’s about your two options.

    You could make a slick mold and try that as well.
    But the conclusion was you needed grooves for the paper using smokeless.
