Jeff , I think I'll get on board with this one , order is in your PM box . I forgot , I'll need a nose punch with that as well so please include that with the price you send me .
Thanks , Jack
Could I send a chamber slug from my M14 and have Veral pick the boolit (weight, size etc.) he thinks best fits my gun within the constraints of this GB? This with me understanding that what I get is mine like it or not. I trust Veral more than myself when picking a boolit. I want the heaviest boolit that can be made to fit my chamber and the LFN design.

EDIT: I am slow, I know this. After reading first post over many times I still dont know about the weight. You dont list that as criteria for ones order. I see there is 2 different weights for a .310 LFN listed on Verals site.I understand the process for a "custom" order but am confused on this one. Is weight an option? If so I can slug my gun and measure the bearing length minus the ogive length and match that to a "stock LFN" .310 boolit listed. Do I make sense what I am asking?

"The .30-06 is never a mistake." Townsend Whelen
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
Thomas Paine
The only limitation is this has to be an LFN design and no small calibers. That would fit your criteria very well. You can either do the measurements yourself like you said, or you can have Veral do them for you and make the boolit fill the chamber/throat.
I think your question has been asked and answered earlier in this thread:

Jeff, I have a question about the flat nose...
I think I understand correctly that Veral's cataloged LFN/FN bullets have a nose cut to bullet diameter-0.130". This results in a range of meplat sizes such as shown in this chart:
My question is whether Veral will allow this dimension to be a variable with the understanding that we are not trying to bend the rules to get ourselves a spitzer. For example I'm considering a 375 caliber rifle bullet for use at low velocity. Veral's standard formula (0.375"-0.130") results in a 65% nose. Substituting 0.110" would result in a larger 71% meplat.
I have Veral's book and this would be in an effort to achieve maximum performance on game using his DV theory, etc.
Jeff,
An email is on the way to you.
Best regards,
CJR
Jeff - email on the way, ordering two molds.

You can't spell "restore" with h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y.
The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.

I don't have one boolit in my complete line of mold offerings. All are for bullets. Sure send your chamber slug, and your phone number, and I'll call and iron things out so neither of us get dissapointed by my choice.

That's the best way to be sure the bullet, not boolit, will chamber. You can have any weight that will chamber or that you ask for. If you give me the bearing length that will fit, I'll set the mold lathe up for that and go. Will call and talk it over if you like. Veral

No, the pattern is fixed in form. Go with the WLN if you want more whack. It's the same meplat as the WFN, which is .090 smaller than body diameter.

DV is not a theory, but a formula for calculating wound diameter size, all based on fact, though the numbers are just calculating numbers.

Just a reminder that this group buy will close on March 31st at midnight. I will need you commitment to participate by then if you want a mold.

Jeff,
I'd like to place an order for a few molds. PM is on its way shortly!
Thanks in advance.

I am in for a 4-cavity mould,from the Master of mould makers.My 96/11 needs a better bullet mould.
Bodine,
PM sent your way.
As I indicated, very short on info but would like a LBT mold!
Not sure I can get enough info - QUICK ENOUGH - to join this Group Buy.
Keep em coming!

As long as I have your commitment you will be fine.
