The 165a was made for a saami spec 308 win. I had Ross Shuler turn a remington 700 barrel to fit in a savage action. He chambered it to the tight end of 308win. This bullet was the result of that with the help from @fiver He also has the original mold so he can help if you need it. Well sort of. The original was casting a 0.298" nose. Tom made a new one no questions asked. It was the only mold I have ever heard of not getting what was asked for. Then it was exactly what I wanted.

It shot very well once I figured out how to cast, size and lube them right.

I started with the 168a but do the 168C now, no lube grooves and slightly smaller nose for PC. Works great for my AR10 308.

Walter has a sampling from that mold Tomme is talking about.
and a plan,,, or at least an outline of a plan... LOL
maybe he already implemented the plan and I missed the video?

BOTH if those have proven very accurate in 35 guise for me.
The first is traditionally shaped. (See RCBS 35-200fn) Many companies have copy and all have been good!!
That second is very close to my 36-270c from accurate I picked ip while back. Its been very accurate from subsonic past 2300 fps for me.
Good luck but you wont need luck Tom makes nice molds.
