32cal boolis in your 30-30 tender???

[waco]

Anyone ever try sizing any of these boolits accordingly and using them for light plinker loads?

I have the 100 gr RN mold you have pictured there. I shoot it as cast in .303 (yea it's a little small but shoots fine out to 50yd or so. Shoot it sized to .309 out of any 30 cal rifle. 6gr Unique, 5 gr Bullseye, it's a great plinker. I even load it backward with some REALLY light powder charges and shoot it in the basement, makes nice holes like a wadcutter and stops in less than a full phone book. Really versatile.

I use the 90gr SWC in .30 Herrett, .30-30, .308, .30-06, and .303 Brit, sized to .309", .311", or .314", depending on what the particular gun in question likes, and all with 5 grs or less of either Unique or Red Dot, depending if I want a mouse fart garden pest control load, or a small game load.

The 311-100-2R is a dreamboat in both of my Savage break-actions. NOT good in the Marlin throats, though, leads terribly. If you chamber actually has a step at the end of the case mouth and a 311-ish throat entrance you'll be fine. Red Dot is good.

I regularly size .32 cal pistol boolits to .311" or .313" for use in my .30-31 cal rifles. They make dandy plinking loads.

As a matter of fact, I bought a six cavity 311-93-1R with handles at the last gun show I went to so I can up my production a little.
