Hey guys. I have another thread started on all of the ways the aforementioned mold is not working for my Mosin. I really like it, however I don't have any other similar caliber guns other than my 30-30. Initially I immediately rejected the idea of using a 210 gr Boolit in a 30-30 lever gun, however I've been thinking over the last little while. The Mold throws a .302ish Boolit-I could paper patch the base and leave the nose exposed, which would allow it to chamber (my bore is .302 so leaving the nose exposed wouldn't be an issue). I could single load so I don't have to worry about magazine detonations as a result of pointed bullets. My only issue is finding load data for such a heavy bullet. I don't want to hot rod anything, I just think it would be fun to give it a shot. I saw on a previous thread (I'll post it below) in which someone had used a 220 gr bullet with a winchester 94 30-30, so I think this can be done. Anyone else have experience with this? Any loads?
