    If you are planning on shooting the bullets with smokeless powder I think that you will find that regular grease groove bullets work better. Accurate molds, NOE or Night Owl Enterprises both carry bullet molds designed for paper patching in 30 cal. but I don't think you will find any nose pour type.

    Thanks for the reply Coot. I was thinking that a hollow base boolit with the with the patch folded into the cavity would be more accurate than a grease boolit with the patch twisted and cut. Also the nose pour hollow base moulds that I have seen are usually adjustable for weight which would be great. I just have never seen one for 30 cal.

    NOE recently ran a 172 and 212 gr NRA paper patch boolits . I have the 172 gr boolit and it is making me happy . I've only had time to shoot it in 1 rifle but the instant success in a rifle that hasn't shot well w/cast or the jackets on hand does make me smile.
