I have not tried my other molds to reload my STG-58 I have used the Lee 160gr and 170 gr to attempt loading my 300 blk with little success. Also, have an MP mold believe it's a 150 gr deep HP and has not had luck with that also in 300 blk always due to feeding issues.
I don't have problems with factory bullets they work fine difference is the factory bullets are longer than the cast Boolites. I have like the HP Boolites I have made they expand as they should and they are designed to. In theory, I'd like a mold that can do HP and solid Boolite best if it had a large and small pin!
I will take what I can get and that will work in a semi an auto magazine feed weapon. Have not tried any of my Boolite out yet mostly due to the amount of factory.308 I have on hand and bought cheap. Remember back in 1999 when I bought 1,500 308 147 gr military believe English for less than $250!
Also, for any advice on my problem with the 300 blk let me know, please! I have tried 300 blk magazine and also tried 300 blk followers. The only thing that I cast that shoots reliably is the 230gr cast I make. I can't even chamber my MP 309 410 Boolites I make in my rifle and if I can get them to load and chamber they shoot great but the COL is close to 2.055 so if I have to unload a round the Boolite gets stuck in the barrel and all the powder comes out.
Thanks!
