Available 303 British Moulds?

[Just Duke]

What's available in 303 British Moulds?
My personal preference is NOE. Anyone have one?
TIA,
Duke

Throat, groove and bore sizes in the 303 rifles wanders like a drunk........... about 0.006" from what i've seen. Take a lead throat slug and see what it needs, don't guess or assume. Undersize boolits shoot rather poorly is this one.

I have an NOE 316299 that casts about 0.3155". It fits three Lee Enfields perfectly and shoots well for me. Mine all seem to run around 0.314" groove and about 0.315" throat. I size to 0.315" which just chambers.

No, not for sale! Al has several 0.316" moulds listed though.

Also to consider for a light boolit is the NOE 0.314" x 129 gr. I bought one and lapped it a bit to give 0.316" boolits and that shoots well for a light load that is cheap on powder and lead. I believe there are a couple of other lightweights about now in the fatter diameters as well.

You should slug the throat and pick a size to suit the throat. It is easier to measure than 5 groove slugs too!

Also, NOE is running a 218 gr mould (in .311, .314, .316") later this year for those of us who want to try and duplicate the Mk VI round. Should be fun!

I haven't purchased the rifles yet but thanks Jack. I posted this as an exploratory inquiry on components to compliment the rifle purchases.

You will not go past CBE .303 moulds. Jim has about 12 now.

Jeff,

What can you tell me about the boolit wts and cost from CBE? I don't have any molds
specifically bought to feed my SMLEs, and should have at least one or two.

Recommendations?

Pat is right. Spoke to Jim on Skype this morning and he is having 3 months off. He is feeling burnt out. Hope he keeps production going after his vacation.

BILL: All details on Jims site.

Duke, I have a .316" mould if the rifle you end up with is on the large size. I can send you some samples to try when the time comes.
