Would you be running anything soon that would work well with .30 carbine?

It would be nice to see your 402-200 gr. solid wfn  pb with the RG option to bring it to 180 GR. hp.
I would post the picture but I don’t know how to do it.

Hi I just read the post concerning the 20% discount on stock moulds I would really like to get my hands on a 314466 152g mould but you have it as being out of stock. Any chance it will reappear before the offer ends.

Exactly what I was thinking.  Al, can you convert two over from non rg?????

I am thinking this mold, converted.

Swede, I really like your H&G #68 aluminum mold.  I would love for you to make some in 4-cavity in brass.  Thanks!  Jeff

I want to sign up for the 160 gr. C.E.Harris .312″  5 cavity (aluminum preferred) GC.  If possible, I would prefer to pre-pay, hopefully to avoid getting “”bumped” or “pre-empted” (or whatever happened last time)?

RE: 312/316  160 GN FN Ed Harris design  4 cavity aluminium  all GC

I want to order/request/ pay for up-front or whatever is necessary to get a mould from the 4/28 run that has same nose diameters but  will size clean and gas ck to .316 .

I believe I saw a reply that the nose area would be + .002 compared to the original Harris design. Here is how my RUS and CHI  SKS as well as 3 commercial  bore diameters measure with precision gage pins:

CHI .301/.302
                              ]  groove dias. on the SKS slug at .313/.3134
RUS .300/.301

Green Mountain meant for 7.62 X 39:

bbl #1 .300/.301
                                ]  grooves slug  .311
bbl #3 .300/.301

Parker Hale  match bbl in .308 Winchester  .299/.300

As you can see, bore diameters on all these nominally .30 cal barrels are very close to .300., what varies are the groove diameters. The Ed Harris design is of 2 diameters, with the part in front of the crimp groove meant to be “bore riding” and the part behind the crimp large enough in diam . to fill the grooves . A lot has been written about the virtues of the driving bands of the cast bullet being perhaps .002 larger than groove dimension. The plausible argument to me is better sealing of the grooves prevents bore  leading because hot gasses do not melt bits of lead off the bullet which by-pass  the bullet and deposit on the barrel.

I believe I have proved this to myself by oversizing the driving bands only on bullets dropped out of Lee mould C312- 155-2R . I oversize the driving band area to about .319, then GC, size and lube to .316.

I see no leading , and  can show 7/8 C-C 5 shot groups at 50 yds.

Conditions :

Std issue Chinese SKS  ( converted from semi-auto to “Straight-Pull Repeater with a simple, removable “drop-in” kit which seals the gas block orifice).

Caldwell Lead Sled on rigid bench

2-7 power Burris hand gun scope in Scout position on forward mount of my design

5  grains of Red Dot behind the modified Lee bullet

Ave speed : 1042 fps

SD = 3.03

After all these words, I see no purpose in increasing the nose diameters  just because we want fatter driving band area. Maybe I just mis-read that post which I cannot seem to find to read again.

Its a function of the tooling
Bands and nose are cut with one tool
cut the bands .002 over and the nose has to be the same

That or make a new tool at $300.00

I believe I see the light now. I had assumed the final profile of the cavity was single -pointed with the mould halves clamped together. Now it looks like you have a cutter ground to profile and plunge each half separately , and of course that requires a new cutter for each custom mod ..  But if you need a new cutter for each incremental increase in the driving band area , why can’t the nose diameters remain constant?
    Nothing for nothing, but why not fixture the halves clamped together in the lathe and single-point the contours with short solid carbide boring tools?

So, if  316 driving band area in my request  forces the nose dias to increase .004 over what drops out of 312 Ed Harris moulds I would have no way to predict how a bullet with such a drastic increase in nose dias would perform.

Please let me know if I even understand the tooling / generating situation correctly. If my bullet @ 316 requires a .004 larger nose, then I would have to try to bump knurl / size the nose portion of the bullets from the Lee mould to roughly approx what would drop from your 316 mould before ordering your 316 .

We have a undersized form tool cut to the profile of the bullet.
Clamp block together, pilot drill and interpolate out to the size we want.
This gives us control of the finished size and is a lot more production friendly
than single pointing it all. If your looking for a one off custom bullet we are not the one to do it. We can cut just about any size, but its the hole bullet that changes.
I hope this helps
