I've had a Lyman 311467 for several years. It is a double cav. mold and has provided me with some of the most accurate .30 cal. cast bullets that I've ever shot.

Recently I removed the g/c shank in the rear cav. of the mold and decided later that I'd send the mold to Erik in OR :

I requested that Erik take the front cavity that still had the factory g/c shank in it and HP that cavity.
I asked that he make a " deep HP pin ", a pin that would allow me to cast a solid bullet, and a pin to allow me to cast a cup point. Considering that the same mold also cast a round nose , plain base 311467, it has now turned into a very versatile mold.
BTW, Erik's work on this particular mold is exceptional !
Here are some photos:

I like to shoot my .30 cal. cast bullets sized to .310 ".
I pushed these " nose 1st " through my Lee sizer die that I've honed out to .310".
