Any success?

Of course I have one. Ran it thru some 308's and .06's. Looked promising but it was used with 2400 and unique only. Too many moulds and too little time. If it works as well as my 311332 I'll be very happy. Mark

looks close to 311413 you even use the same top punch
so cast some up and give us a report

Your photo of the bullet in thread # 1 looks a little like my Cramer # 191

This bullet at 80 yards shoots great, the black aiming square is 1.25 " on all sides, this is a 10 shot group :

I'll dig out the mould tomorrow and check the dimensions against your drawing. Looks pretty close by memory. The nose on mine is a little more pointed than rounded if my memory holds up.

I've got one and use it quite a bit. While not the most accurate boolit I shoot, it does about as well as the 311291. Most of the shooting I've done with it is in my CMP 03A3 at velocities from 1300 fps to 2000 fps. at 100 yards. Five shot groups run a bit over 2" to about 3". It also works well in my 300 Savage Model 99 and my sporterized Krag.
My version is a 2 holer and it is the best casting mould I own. There's absolutely no sticking. It's almost boring, pour and drop, pour and drop with very few culls. It doesn't take long to run the pot dry. They also measure a tiny bit over .311 and gas checks are a perfect fit.

Looks similar to my H&G #20. Mine loves 11 grains of Unique in my 30-30 bolt action Savage.

Mine has a little sharper nose. Otherwise dimensions are very close to the same. I'm measuring the mould cavities and not a cast bullet.

I received two samples in the mail today.

Thank you Ben and Mikenbarb.

I'll get a pic of them up soon.

Each one is different and both are different than the drawing or the pic that Ken put up.

Here they are:

HG 20 on the left, the shorter one Cramer 191 on the right, taller one

[mikenbarb]

Cool, My boolit looks pretty good.:wink: Their close but not exact, What does the Cramer weigh in at, 191gr.?

[Blammer]

196gr actually

this hopefully has a pic of the 311351 and 311375. I was casting using both moulds today. The nose is sharper than the camera shows it. Mark
