If it was the one cavity it might be the one i traded to him for some HP work .As i recall it casts about .314-.301.It shot very well in my P-17 Enfield with a 4 groove HS barrel.I am curious how it does in a Garand.All of the HP's Eric has done for me shoot at least as good as before the HP and some quite a bit better.
And back to topic- I like the 31466 Lyman for a mid weight bullet in the 7.65 Argie,30-06,7.62 Russian,30-30 and 308 WIn..The ones with the nose of .301, the 1st band off the nose .304 and the remainder about .312 are “correct” and the best.Not all are cut this way and the ones that are not don't shoot as well for me.Its a crap shoot when you buy one on how the cherry was cut.Wouldn't seem like the best bullet comparing to others of better shapes adn weights,but it holds it's own at 100 and sometimes does alright at 200.I shot it at my last match and even with alot of wind i shot a 184-3 at 200 with modified sights in a 1903.Not record setting,but it was the second best 200 yd score that day in all classes of 10 shooters.They were cast from a 4-cavity mold to boot,not weighed,just looked at while casting.
Pic is of a 10 shot group from my Springfield at 100 with the 311466.Lucky,but i'll take it !
