Accurate molds on line catalog page 1, mold #30-170P. Talk with Tom there about a lesser weight, he will make about anything you want with a very fast turn around time.Robert
NOE makes one at .301 and you patch to .001-.002 over groove. The old NRA hot rod bullet.
Is there anything made by rcbs lee or lyman that works well?
Does the lee at .308 work ok or do you size it down to .301? Thanks
Hunter, patching starts with a naked bullet that needs to be wrapped to, as stated, 0.001 to 0.002 greater than the groove diameter of the bore depending on the thickness of the paper used and the number of wraps.Does the lee at .308 work ok or do you size it down to .301? Thanks
So, for starters, slug the bore of your rifle to determine the grooves diameter ... next the nominal size of the naked bullet that you buy - add the number paper wraps thickness and the resultant should be 0.001 to 0.002 over grooves diameter ... determines whether the bullet has to be resized or not
