Help ID bullet

[fordwannabe]

Hello all. I need help id’ing a cast boolit. Can any of you 100 percent confirm what mold this came from? 30 cal and the gas check is already on it in these pictures. 210 grains.

Probably the Lee C309-200-R. Profile fits, weight matches, caliber is the same. If it quacks like a duck...

Kinda looks like the lyman 311284

[fatnhappy]

^^^^^ a 311284

[gwpercle]

Looks like Lyman 311284 , and the Lyman description is 210 gr. Gas Check .
As near as I can tell it has the right number of lands and grooves on it and the nose shape looks right .
I'm voting for Lyman 311284 also !

I know NOE makes a clone as well.

I have an order going into NOE anyway. Good call HADES.

Lyman 311284 are a very accurate boolit in my 30.06 Springfield!

Is that a ten shot group? WOW!

Ten shots at 100yds. My Springfield has a 12X Leupold scope and a 1944 4 groove Remington barrel that has never seen "J" boolits.

Working with a GEW Mauser with FN military barrel that is showing promise.

Where is the like button? What wood? It looks like Walnut other than the stripes.

I think so to. My Lyman 311284 has a rounder nose profile.

[fordwannabe]

How about possibly a Lyman 311299?

It definitely has a LEE nose profile.

It is absolutely not a #311299. That's a completely different shaped bullet, but also a good one. The bullet in the OP's photo does look a lot like a #311284, but the tip of the nose looks just a little bit sharper: it might be a 311284 clone made by a mold manufacturer other than Lyman. I really like the 311284. It was designed for the 30-40 Krag, but works well in other 30 caliber cartridges. When shake-n-bake powder coated the nose of the bullet can sometimes become too large in diameter, and makes cartridges that are difficult to chamber. For me, where the #311284 really shines in in 7.7mm cartridges. I powder coat this bullet, then size to .312", and it is very accurate in my 7.65x53 Mauser. It may be a good bullet with 303 British, 7.62x54R, 7.7 Japanese, etc., but I don't own any of these. Cast, lubed, and sized .309" it has been a proven performer with many 30 caliber cartridges. A good bullet.

If maybe its not the 311284, could it be a 311290?

The pictures of the bullet isn't super clear for me when I click on them.
