I thought I'd post a few pics that I have of the Eagan MX2-30-H since many our members seldom see any of the late Mr. Eagans work. Beautiful boolit that I have not shot enough of. Checked and lubed in my alloy, it weighs 185gr. The borerider is .301 tapering to .302 above the first band. Bands drop at .311, so it's a bit small for some of some of my Krag rifles. It seats over magazine length if I want the borerider out into the lands. OK for CBA competition but not for NRA highpower. Seats nice in my Garand though. I have tried to get the fellow who bought the cherry for a .303 version to sell it to me, but I guess he wants to keep it unto perpetuity. Casting with the mold took some fiddling with technique. First I tried pressure casting with a ladle. That gave me bullets that had spines I had to pick off. Then I tried a bottom pour pot, which worked sorta ok, but I didn't like the oxides that one invariably gets when the alloy flows through the air on its way to the mold. So I went back to the ladle, but this time using a bottom pour Rowell. With the big sprue plate hanging at an angle on the edge of the pot, I'd start the pour on it then move the flow up to the fill hole. That gave me some good bullets without spines and a minimum of oxidation. This would be a good one for NOE to duplicate in various sizes (that's a hint Al, would be happy to send samples)! I'd prefer it be nose pour, like the original. I've often wondered why NOE doesn't make some of their flatnose bullets nose pour, but at the same time I've seen that their sprue plate venting comes close to making the base just as consistent as Eagan's. The shot of the 100yd group was out of a Krag that will soon be 120yrs old, and the bullet was going 2175fps. I had mounted a 7x LER scope on my parkerized 92/96. I hope the bullet shoots as good out of my Garand!
