RCBS 165 gr sil molds?

[borg]

Can someone tell me what the bore riding portion on this bullet measures?
Also the length of the base to the top portion crimp ring?
Thinking on using it in the 300 BLK, looks like it seats out for better case capacity and should feed in the 300.
Thanks

My mold is 12 years old and when air cooled wheel weight with 1.5% tin added, the bullets drop out .3015 X .3005. My numbers in no way reflect what you would get. Cast sizes vary with age of mold, alloy, temp of alloy and casting technique of the user.

This bullet has done very well in my 4 308s and a couple of 30-06s, but not so well in a few others.

Success in your rifle cannot be predicted by the experience of others. They only way to know for certain, is to buy a mold and fire up your lead furnace. We all end up with some molds that are disappointments. That is part of the game.
