I had searched for a nice clean used mould that was reasonably priced. I finally found one in OK. My Lyman 311008 , 2 cav. mould arrived a couple of days ago from OK. I've had real good luck with this design so far in several .30 cal. rifles , but only had a single cav. mould for this particular design.

Here the bullet is shot at 40 yards out of my Ruger # 1, 30-30.
A 5 shot group.

This one has a few minor lead splatters on the faces. ( Nothing I can't easily remove.) I'd rate the mould at 98% + condition.

I got my " new to me " 2 cav. 311008 mould out yesterday and cast some with it. The mould drops cast bullets ( without any sticking ) that are a nice round, .3135" on all bands. Will work out well for my needs. Bullets fall free when the mould is opened.

I cast up a pile from mine last summer. I still have most of them. Nice bullets!!

Congrats on the new mold!! Cast looks good.
