Mold to cast .303 Br.

[desporterizer]

Only problem is the new 314299 cast a smaller bullet than the earlier one.......Harold

I had heard this was the case and avoided the lyman altogether. The lee 90371 drops a little small in the nose for most enfields but works pretty good in mosins. If you want to try a lee mould go for 90385, it drops a .314 155gr bullet with my alloy. If you want the cadilac of moulds check out the CBE web sight, they make great moulds.

 

[Why not?]

Or, get a Lyman 311284. Mine drops 210 gr bullets from the mold, that measure 313-314" with straight wheel weight metal.

With "boreriders" like the 2 Lyman molds mentioned, it helps for the front(boreriding portion) to fit as well, it should enter the rifling when chambered but not be a sloppy fit for best accuracy. For best accuracy, there's alot to this cast bullet stuff!!!

newer Lyman molds tend to cast under size bullets, find an older one if you can.

Damn... and I bought a new one...

try it out and see what you get for diameter. Set your pot to max. heat, this helps get bigger boolits.
