Can someone tell me what this mold cast. Shape and weight of bullet.
Ideal 311 413 S

[Char-Gar]

This is a 169 grain (nominal) weight bullet with a rather sharp spire point. It was designed by a fellow named Squibb in Lima Ohio sometimes around WWII or just before. It proved to be popular design and Cramer, Hensley and Gibbs, Belding and Mull and Lyman all made versions. 311413 is Ideal/Lyman's offering of the Squibb bullet.

It is an accurate bullet, but accurate starts to drop off once the velocity exceed about 1.5 or 1.6K fps.

What Chargar says - but I have never even tried to push it hard, have always gotten nice
groups with my K31.

The "S' usually indicated short cherried, meaning a lighter than standard 311413. You might be able to push it a tad more than Charger's recommendation, but not by much.
