I have very little experience in casting rifle bullets. Actually, only the Lyman design #311041 years back. Now I'm looking for a new adventure using a different .30 caliber mold. My #311041 was from long ago on a group buy here on the board and made by LEE, a 6 cavity mold. I realize I could use it instead of buying a new mold, but where's the fun in that? I want a pointy boolet (something new to play with).
Reasoning tells me a 2 cavity mold would be less likely to have much variance between casts. I'm aware that alloy hardness, twist rate, velocity, lube, etc. all play a part in the making of a great load. A 1.5" group at a 100 yards would be more than sufficient for my intent, having fun and maybe some hog busting.
Thoughts and input anyone?
