I'm wanting to settle on a single mold that I can use in basically any .31 caliber rifle such as the Enfield, Mosin, or the Arisaka. My plan was to order one from Arsenal that has a large enough diameter to accommodate any over sized bore within reason. My Arisaka mics at 0.3165", so I was going to settle on 0.317 or 0.318 and just size down as needed for the other rifles.
The mold I was looking at was the 311-170 which is a 170gr Ranch Dog design. My only concern is that the nose might be too blunt to reliably feed in some rifles.

Alternatively, the 30 HVTH1 might work too. It's a 170gr boolit with a smaller meplat.

I will probably powdercoat whatever I get.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
