[1longshot]

Please pardon my novice question but would this bullet work okay in either my Remington 700 .308 Winchester and or my Marlin 336 with ballard type rifling? The marlin is the XLR stainless w/24" barrel. Also what manufacture of gas checks can I use with this bullet?

[Hurricane]

This bullet was designed for use in the Marlin 30-30 rifles. However, it will also be a great bullet for 308, 30-06, 300 Savage, Winchester 30-30, and any other 30 caliber. Don't worry that it is 311 instead of 308. 311 is the standard diameter for a 30 caliber bullet. Cast bullets work best if they are a little bigger than the barrel, that allows the bullet to seal the barrel and prevents gas cutting and leading.

[1longshot]

My concern with the .308 is that the gas c heck will have to set below the neck of the case when loaded so the bolt will close. If that is the case I would rather have a different mold. Do you suggest another or will this one cooperate?

[Artful]

Case neck length should be about .303 on 7.62x51 with this bullet being .360 from base of bullet to cover grease groove. You have choice of seating it with 0.057 below case neck junction or seating it out to touch leade of barrel (which is what I would do) and ignore what's below the case. Whose chamber do you have? Does it have a short throat for the bullet to touch the lands?


As to the 308 case, both the Saeco 301 [RG-4]
and the Lyman/NOE 311299
both meet your requirements for seating with gas check being in the neck, however your rifle would need about 3/8 " throat or "free bore" to keep the bullet from jamming in the leade.

there is another group buy for 311365 which again has more lube grooves than you may want but may be more what your looking for.

the Ranch Dog was designed for more smack down with feeding thru 30-30 but can also be used with other 30 cal cartridges.
