I certainly have no problems with Veral.
He can make his moulds any way that he chooses.
Obviously ( for me ) buying used LBT rifle moulds made with someone else's throat specs with such large dia. noses has not worked out well ( for me ).
I'm just headed in another direction...........

I think this one may go back up for sale. It's too big even for the throat on my old 308. Shot some today, when chambered it had pushed the bullet back into the case till onl about 3/8" was sticking out. That put the base way below the shoulder area of the case. Those with more neck tension were so tight that the round couldn't be withdrawn, had to be shot.
Grouping wasn't too bad with H4831sc @2083 fps or Varget @1921, just more than a little non-plussed at the chambering issue. I'm thinking I'll work with the my #315 for a while when the weather cooperates.

this must be real big then.
I figured it would be a tight fit but I didn't think it would be that tight.

Going from memory, it's .312 on the nose. My .3115 sizer hit nearly the full length of the bullet. If someone has one of the oversized military rifles it might help them out.
