Just get a mould without grooves. They aren't needed if you PC or hitek. I've even used them with 2 coats BLL and no problem to about 1600 fps.

The noses of the bullet is what got me since I PC
Get an Accurate mould and have the nose cut small. What I did with the 142. Also got the shank smaller so not a problem with GC. I got it cut with...

Mine is KAK, works fine. 1:8 twist and threaded. IIRC it was a value line on sale, nothing special. I don't shoot subs so anything shorter you lose a lot of fps. Noticed they are out of stock.

I just wondered about the legality of it, equivalent of side charger with gas disabled. I do see an advantage for the pistol length. You could find a used carrier and cut it but you need a straight...

about 1600 fps. Even in a Winchester, 309 would be the smallest. Try PC and NOT sizing (adds about 2 thous). HiTek only adds about a thous. which doesn't get you big enough. Yea, have to cast more...

Problem - change to PC.
Edit: went to lunch. To continue, some have gotten results with hitek in rifle, I haven't. I did once with a very hard alloy. I was very careful in application, 2 coats. WD...

I love shooting at the slymore, Ar range, swing out seat, good table height and position.

The real issue is being able to turn off that little corner of your lizard brain that wants to scream out that you're about to get pounded. A problem for me.

Accurate 31-142C(?) slick sided with GC - PCd. I've used a 170gr PB RanchDog version (for 30/30) in my 10", use 13gr 2400 for 1600 fps. Fun and hard hitting. BO throat is big but short and tapered. ...

Make a dummy rnd seated short, if it chambers, seat less deep. Try again till it is hard to chamber. Some make it long and then push shorter - which ever. Then back off seating depth about 20 thous....

Powder is bad by now so I'll take it and use for fertilizer.

You really don't need the crimp groove and sometimes it gets in the way. My 145gr feeds in BO, shoots good in 30/30 and 308W as well. It is not HP though. Just don't see any need for HP for...

I was skipper's phone talker for 8" shots. Interesting, just felt a slight 'push'. Put holes in a 'target' sleeve mounted on a barge 11 mi away. Had to wait for a small boat to go report hits. ...
