    I have missed your unique approach to cast boolits. Occasionally I go back to some of your posts on the K31.

    I don't have a .300 Weatherby, but I will be looking forward to your progress.

    In my Mosin that cast bullet is great. Lee would make a custom die at .308 or .309 I bet with the same profile...

    maximum allowable RPM's with cast lead and was surprised at how high it is.
    How does one calculate that?
    Whatever!

    I went about it a bit differently. A300RUM and a paper patched 311284 sized .3015 and patched back up. Protect the bullet against deformation during acceleration and the RPM limit doesn't matter much.
    45 AUTO! Because having to shoot someone twice is just silly!
