    Thanks Guys, especially "Multra".
    So I will "Chance" it once more with starting loads followed by Chronographing, providing my 1980 vintage "Custom Chronograph" with Paper Screens still spits out the numbers.

    Thanks to all & Cheers

    Sounds like a good mold to me. A 300 grain shoots about 4'' high for me at 25 yards over a 240 in my SRH which is good. They kick hard also without a lot of powder. I have a 788 Remington 44 mag bolt gun also but haven't tried the 300 yet. I would probably have the gas check removed to get the weight down and seat a little deeper. If It drops a .431 round boolit you could Alox without sizing.<just a thought>
