Was looking at the Lee C312-155-2R on their website. They list it for a SKS. Like the looks of this bullet and it's weight for my SKS and my Isphore Enfield in 7.62x51 NATO.
Anybody tried this mold in either caliber?

I believe Ed Harris designed that bullet, and the first runs were at NEI. Ed recommended it (correctly sized, I presume) for all the military 30's and 31's that don't have tight bores.
Here's a link to his article "Cast Bullet Basics for Military Rifles"

Yeah Lee gives credit to Ed Harris on their website for the mold design. Sounds like a good mold to try. Think I'll see if I can't scare one up. Thanks guys.

I have one, and I do not like it in my Ishapore.
However, I will be glad to sell it.
If you are interested, PM me.
