Accurate mould arrived today.

[Ben]

This one is the plain base version of the SAECO 315.
I'm SUPER pleased with the quality of the mould and the dimensions of the cast bullets from the mould.
Tom, as we all know, does fantastic work !

I've getting real close to .312" on the rear drive band and .301 " on the nose.
Of course the bullets are so close to perfect in roundness that my mic is unable to detect any out of roundness.

I gave the mould a good cleaning, warmed the mould and began casting.
Nice looking bullets almost immediately.

Odd, but somehow those photos make me hungry.

Just ordered a 2C brass 31-188G. Love those Accurate brass beauties. Run them just a little bit faster/hotter and the bands will sharpen up.

Ben...that . 311/.301 was with COWW+ 2% tin right...!

Ben's photography is incredible. Darn it, photos like this make me hungry, too.

What a work of art. Both Bullets and Mould.

Fine looking mould and bullets.

Ian, that looks a lot like the NOE 30 Hunter I bought, just a plain base. Correct?

 

[waco]

What will you be shooting this in?

 

[Ian]

No, similar from across the room maybe, but quite different. And it has a gas check shank. The nuances discussed here: http://www.artfulbullet.com/index.php?threads/your-opinion-please.1260/

M1A and three other .308s, the plan is to push it hard most of the time.

 

[waco]

And it has a gas check shank.

Yeah. I meant the mold I bought is plain base.

Ben;
That is a REALLY nice looking mold and a dandy pile of bullets! I'll bet that they shoot, too!

[JWFilips]

Ben,
I'm sure you will shoot them as well as they look!

 

[Ben]

I think the 1st test medium for these may be my T/C Super 14, 30-30.( This was actually why I ordered the mould ). At a later date, they will get a good work out in my MANY 30-06 and 308 Win. rifles.

That design should work well in many .30 cal guns. Do you also use the gas check version for cartridges of higher velocity in your arsenal?

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

Good lookin bullet Ben!!
Reminiscent of the ol ranch dog minus the tumble lube grooves.

Do you also use the gas check version

The brass mould is plain base.
I have the same mould made by SAECO that I can use gas checks with.
It is also a super accurate bullet in just about any .30 cal. rifle
that I've ever fried it out of.

Does that include the Ruger #1 30-30 with the standard "non-throat" throat?

 

[Ian]

He's got a special sizing die for that.
