During the latest dicount at NOE, I ordered a 5-cavity 311-158-gc mould. After cleaning, and a couple of heat cycles, I started casting with it. It actually took a couple of casting sessions before it started making good bullets, but today it came around.
A 5-cav might not be the best choice if you are looking for ultimate uniformity. But it certainly is effective!
In my alloy, the bullets are .312 on the driving bands. The nose, just north of the front band, tapers from .308, just as it should.
Looking forward to shooting this bullet. I’m no expert in bullet design, but my gut feeling is, this will work in a lot of chambers.
