There's not a lot of offerings out there for PB molds suitable for the '06 anymore and I was wondering which of the following would be a better fit in a Pre-64 M70:
RCBS 30-150-CM
SAECO 630
I've tried loading 311410 into '06 cases and with my equipment, they don't go in the case straight and don't reach the rifling even seated to 3.15" (which doesn't quite cover the lube groove).
If there's anyone out there who may have a .30 PB mold that casts a boolit about 150 grains and they would like to sell or trade it, please let me know. I purchased a 4C SAECO 322 a few years ago and have never used it. I have a couple 44 molds and may even have a .35 or .30 caliber mold that I may be willing to part with in a trade.
My goal is to meet or exceed the accuracy of the best .22LR ammo and beat the rimfire by a couple hundred feet per second.

P.S. Here's something I haven't tried yet but I was wondering if I could get input on it: Is it possible to get good accuracy if the GC is left off the GC shank? Here's another idea: remove the GC shank on a suitable bullet mold by carefully drilling the mold out with a 5/16" drill.
