Looking for a copy of the 375296 FNGC that drops bullets at .380″.  This is for use in a 375 Winchester and 38-55 with .380″ throats and .377″ groove diameters.  Perhaps it would be called the 380296 FN with RG options.  Squared lube grooves not rounded.

This is what the 375296 that I had looked like. There seems to be a lot of difference.

I have seen the bullet profile that you attached and would say it is more recent historically accurate but I have never seen one drop a bullet at .382.  The 1942 Ideal catalog shows a squared grease groove.  I like the version I included in the post because it’s meplat  is wider, less bullet in the case taking up powder space, most bearing surfaces are slightly wider, squared grease grooves and most importantly it’s .380.  I’d really like the profile of the bullet if the meplat were around .265″ which would make it better for hunting purposes.

Not much interest in a .380 bullet I guess.  Any recommendations for a .380 – .381 GC bullet mold that is suitable in .375 Winchester & 38-55?  Something between the RCBS .37-250-FN and Ideal 375296.

I have interest in a 300gr approx mold for .375 H&H.
I size at .379 now.
