Hi Guys,
Just got a good deal on a four cavity SAECO 305 mould that is in like new condition. Hoping to use it for my .303 British rifles. Anyone have an idea as to what Lyman/RCBS top punch will work for this bullet. The SAECO top punch is #30530. The mould is supposed to drop a 180gr FPGC bullet.
Any advise you can give on which alloy will drop the largest bullets with this mould re: GC base? Its supposed to be a tapered form of gas check heel. SAECO states that these bullets, "...are designed to properly maintain the gas checks when cast with Lawerence Magnum Bullet Metal or linotype. Aloys producing smaller diameters may result in gas checks not seating properly."
Linotype has become pretty scarce and is almost impossible to get anymore.
Any help or input would be welcome!:-D
