.30 cal., Lee Group Buy Mould

[Ben]

This is a .30 cal. , 140 gr. plain base from a 6 cavity Lee Plain base mould.

My Ruger # 1 , 30-30 Win. has an almost non existent throat.
It is very hard to find a 30 cal. cast bullet that will chamber easily in the rifle.

This one fits well.
I'm anxious to try this one out.

Does look nice Ben. Go shoot it, it looks good, and of course your usual outstanding pictures and reporting on the performance. Will be looking forward to it.
So are you trying to get LEE do another group buy? Sign me up.

No, I've made a pledge to myself to avoid Lee's group buys.
I've heard a lot of " horror stories " about the number of moulds that had to be sent back.

Amazing that this one has the correct dimensions.

Just thought I would try

I like the look of that bullet! I would probably get it myself, if it was available. Good luck!

Your best bet would be have Tom at Accurate cut the same mold and have it done to perfection the first time around.

That is some real good advice ! !

Why not throat the rifle and have a usable chamber ?

My man is in Washington state.
John Taylor , Taylor Machine
I just hate to send my barreled action off.
He is good.
He did a Handi Rifle for me.
A super accurate rifle now.
