I've been casting and measuring my various .30 molds for a hunting load in a 7.62x51 bolt action with .303 bore and .310 groove. Fortuitously enough it has a ten inch twist for heavies, not that finding a mold for it in my fun box is working out.
During this frustrated walk down memory lane it has occurred to me that an old 220 grain #311284 could be just jim dandy if the long bore riding portion was closer to .302 instead of .295. Then came that AH HA! moment when thinking about a properly sized .302 diameter band at the front. Oh, but what kind of nose profile for the nose plug?
Why not a truly flat point for a really heavy thirty at all the FPS a 7.62x51 can produce?
So I thought hey, ask the forum. Any of you fellas used a very heavy .30 caliber wadcutter?
