Have yet to cast, but I have some of the equipment lined up and will most likely have a go at it later in the year. I have loaded cast boolits for a few rifles and got some boolit/load combinations that work very well.
My question has to do with mold selection. I opted in on a buy recently, and am lined up for a NOE 316299. I noticed the nose diameter was spec'd at .305". I have rifles that slug from .300 - .304 on the lands, and .310 - .315 on the grooves. So I'm guessing that I want the nose to engage some of the rifling in order to get good accuracy. I plan to size down a few thousandths for some of the smaller groove diameters, I realize too that this will most likely take some trial and error in to get the results I want. Just wondering what some others have to say on this.
Thanks
