i have yet to shoot it ,I've only cast a few to try out. I bought the mold recently and had not realized that it had a stop ring. I could find no documentation from Lyman that the mold was stop ring design. It is not modified I can tell you that.
I've owned two other .30 ideal designs with the stop ring as well as had Eric Ohlrn modify a couple of others to stop r guning when I experimented with them a few years ago.
Shooting them in 30 caliber military rifles I never found that they were any more accurate than standard bullets. Often times they were less accurate.
The mold dimensions are quite odd .the nose is .298, the stop ring .320 in the main driving bands .310.
I'm not sure what gun I'm going load it for but it's worth a try I guess?
