Get the 312-155. It's the mold you want in this weight range.

i have a 312-160 already, i was hoping to get something that may feed better.
The 312-155 is a different nose and ogive. I'm assuming 300blk? The 312-155 is pretty much the standard in ths range. Originally designed for the SKS with feeding in mind. Also, have you tried a modified magazine? What kind of feed issue with the 312-160?

Cool idea, hope you can try it and report back.
i thought that the 312-155 and 312-160 had the same nose, i'll have to look again. i did mod one magazine after i came back from the range, so i will have to give it a try next time. i had same PC one's that seemed to get stuck in the chamber but others were fine, they all looked the same and sized to .310 COL was 1.990. also i think they were loaded on the light side.
Thanks George
Powder coating increases nose diameter which is not affected by sizing. That may be what you are experiencing. This can prevent the round from chambering as you discovered.
"Is all this REALLY necessary?"
thats why i was thinking that the 5R profile would be better than the 2R. oh yeah this is a 300AAC
