    K31

    The RCBS Silhouette boolits work well in my `52 Swiss K31. As with most RCBS moulds, they tend to drop a bit undersize for most .308 rifles. Not so with the K31. In my case, the .298 nose diameter allows longer OAL seating, and the body needs less sizing to boot.

    YMMV...

    Regards,

    Scott

    Things are turning around. Switched to 2400 and the Lee 312-155-2r. Added 2% tin. One flier which I always seem to have.

    I get the same results in my '53' K31 with the same bullet but with 14gr. 2400. The flier fairy still does visit occasionally.

    I made a quick set with this bullet as cast for my '22 Izzy. Put 4 holes together in the orange. Can't wait to work with this bullet some more.
