I'm getting ready to order a mold from Accurate Molds and am considering a 3 cavity with 2 cavities for the 31-105C and 1 cavity for the 31-112L. Both will be plain base. I currently have a Lyman 311316GC. These will be shot in my Browning Model 53. So before I fire off my order I wanted to hear from those casting and shooting boolits in a Browning 53 as to what your favorite is. I will be casting in 1:20 alloy. Thanks.

I really like the RCBS 98-32-SWC since it cast right at the size I need for my rifle . I have a H&G number sixty-seven that would be just right but it doesn't cast near large enough .

I use Lyman 311008 (a non-GC version of 311316) with 5.0 gr Unique and small rifle primer. Very accurate and effective in my MOD 53.

+1 on the 32-98 SWC from rcbs. I have 311-419, 311-316, 311-008, 311-245, RCBS 32-84, Saeco 321 (IIRC), 311-465, 311-441, an LBT 32-100 swc and the afore mentioned 32-98 SWC molds.
All of them have found their way down the bore of my 53, but the 311-316 and the RCBS SWC are my favs, with the nod going to the RCBS for being plain base. In my revolvers, I like the 32-98 WC that RCBS makes. Shoots straight and plunks bunnies DRT.
Looking at the Accurate catalog, I think those designs are fine, though I'd prefer a longer nose on the shorter guy.
