I purchased and received today from MT Gianni a nice double cavity Lyman 311410 mold. I at one time had ( and since sold ) the same mold except the one that I had cast bullets with a bevel base , which I never cared for.
I questioned MT Gianni about this mold before I purchased the mold. He confirmed that the mold cast a true flat based bullet.
I'm wanting to shoot these bullets in my many 06's and 308 Win. rifles for a cheap , inexpensive plinking load.
The bullets drop from the mold at .311" , I'm sizing to .310 "
I don't' remember the lube groove on my previous mold being as generous as this one. I think I'm going to like this one !
I plan to shoot these in the 1,100 - 1,200 fps range.
I've got a grandson that is coming up that might like to go out and move a few tin cans with these.

Went to the range today , March 31, 2010.
I fired 50 rounds of the plain base 311410, sized .310 from my 1903 Springfield, 308 WIn. bench gun. Lyman 48 rear, 17 A front. Military barrel , 4 groove , that has been set back and re-chambered to .308 Win.
