Acme bullet Co is selling this bullet for the M1 carbine? I have bought 100 and if they work out, I will be looking for the mold

When I had my M1
I cast 100 gr Lee 311 2r Boolits and powder coated them.
They shot great sized to .309.
I wish they had made one about 115 to 120 gr.
I also used the 100 gr Lee in my Takarov pistol.

Do as you wish, but Bayou Bullets sell the same bullet for $37 per 500 (https://bayoubullets.net/30-carbine-115-gr-rn/). IMHO it's hardly worth buying the mold and going to all the time and trouble to cast and coat them.

I bought 500 of said Bayou Bullets and they're adequate at 100 yds., shooting around 4" groups, but not so good at 200. Definitely not as accurate bullets from an RCBS 30-115-SP or Lyman 311576, but plenty good for plinking and practice to 100 yds. With 13.0 gr. of AL2400 I ran them a bit over 1900 fps with zero leading. That really impressed me.

Yeah, I will have to think about buying a mould if they work out.
