Does someone make a reasonably priced mould for a 30-30 that does not cast gas check bullets?

Arsenal molds can do it for a reasonable price. $78 for a 4 cav pb boolit. Bout the best you can do.

How heavy a boolit are you looking for?
311-93-1R Lee no GC
311-232-FN 5 NOE no GC
Saeco does a 140 grain cowboy mould, though I've not tried it-sure would like to.
Saeco is pricey as well. How about this one: https://www.adorama.com/rcbs82302.html?

I shoot a 165 gr plan base NOE and love it . Want to try some?
Thanks for the offer, toallmy. However (this may sound crazy), I don't own a 30-30 to try them in. I'm just looking for a relatively inexpensive mould to have around in case I can help someone who does.

P.S. - Is this your mould https://noebulletmolds.com/site/shop...2-cavity-pb-rd?

Both my Handi rifle .30-30 and Win 94 lever gun love the Lee .314 90 gr tumble lube design with a truncated cone nose.
I do size them down to about .312 before loading.
They shoot very well over light charges of Red Dot, 4-6 grains. Quiet, low recoil, just right for popping a rabbit, squirrel or crow.
For deer sized critters I don't mind the cost of a gas check. And mostly load the 185 gr.
I truly believe we need to get back to basics.
Get right with the Lord.
Get back to the land.
Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
praise glorious!
Thanks for your help guys. I found a guy who has a used one of these for a good price: https://www.adorama.com/rcbs82302.html.

Lyman 311410. Its a plain based bullet that runs around 135 grains. Slightly rounded nose. I PC them.
Hick: Iron sights!
The 30-30 is the perfect cast boolit cal. because you can shoot it at the same speed and trajectory as Factory J-word bullets, kinda like the 45/70 , 38-55, etc. To do that in the 30-30 you need a gc bullet with the gc installed.
Nope, not going there, MT_Chambers. Got my mould coming, thanks guys.
