Does anybody have one of these? I bought this mould over a year ago and still haven't got to shoot many from it. It looks to me like a fairly close copy of the 311284. I don't have a '284, but it looks close to me.

It's not in the Redding-Saeco catalogs I have (without digging in the garage to go back farther). Mine average 218.5 grains from WWs.
I was just wondering if anybody had one and what they thought, because I don't think I've seen it mentioned. I ran searches, but didn't see anything. Of course, when you put in any combination of "Saeco" and "308" you get a few hits, and my eyes were glazed over before I was halfway through and I could have skipped over it.
I imagine anything that has been said about the 311284 applies, so I guess I was mostly wondering what the catalog listed weight was, and when they were dropped.
I guess the mould number really is a #308. That's what the sprue plate says, but I know they get swapped sometimes.
I only shot a few through a Steyr Scout to see how they did in the twist (1 in 12), and they did fine. Actually, I think they did pretty good. I also ran maybe five through my Win 1895 .30 Army whose bore is so rough and worn it hates almost everything, and they passed through the paper nose-first (which is a feat sometimes).
