First I would like to thank Ben, Eddy, and Paul who all made this possible.
What you are looking at is from left to right. Lyman a single 311466, and the rest alternate saeco 315, modified 311466 in different stages of completion.
Paul gave me an old single cavity 311466, Ben cast me a sample of the 315saeco, and EDDY did the magic nose form tool , and re-cut the mould.....thank you fellas :drinks:
My original intention was to shoot this in the 308win, but the cheap scope took a puke, and I got derailed while waiting to get a new scope and went into the 30/30's with this boolit. WOW.... both the 315 and the 466mod will do an honest 1.25 inch at 100 in the 30/30 pre 73 h&R LIGHTFRAME topper 158 (1X weaver) and I am sure they will do better when they are aged a bit and I do some actual load development...pulled the load out of my [smilie=1: as a good place to start from past experience with the 311291. The winny 94 with williams peeper seems to like them too...more boolits need to be cast for that...but it looks good. Charge was 28grains of H335...do not know actual speed but should be 2k or a skosh more.
Ready to shoot the 311466 mod weighs 174grains. As cast they measure .313 on the battom band and the bands slowly taper as you go up. The nose engraves perfectly in my standard 30 bores and is seated to the second loob groove from the top and very lightly crimped......now to find out how they work in the 308. I was not really looking for a new 30/30 boolit....but hey....gift horse thing and all...I am happy. :drinks:
