Finally, a lee molds that throws a .311 bullet for 30 cal rifles. This bullet is a good copy of the lyman 311041 and ideal for 30-30 win, 303 sav...any .308 diameter bore. Too small for 303 brit or 7.62x54r though. Need a .315/.316 bullet for that, sized to whatever your gun needs. I purchased the one for gas checks but now that I have discovered powder coating, I'd order the plain base one. As with most lee products, quality is very good and this thing throws a lot of bullets fast!

I have lee products and they are inovative, I have other brands and they are very good or better. But to get a mold like this in steel it would cost 3 or more times the price. I have yet to try the mold (too freaking cold outside), but the lee ones I have tried are good and work well. I am willing to risk the money spent to have a 6 cavity mold, a lot of time is saved by casting 6 in every fill. And it would not surprise me if it lasts a long time. Ask me again in a few years,,,that is a true test, the key is to learn and understand how to best use an aluminum mold, completely different beast from the steel/iron molds..

These molds are awesome!. There is a learning curve but it is well worth the effort. After cleaning the mold and a light smoking, My method is to heat the mold with a heat gun and then fill one or two cavities until it cuts the sprue easily and then fill three or four again until the sprue opens easily and then go for five or six and don't stop to inspect the bullets. Just keep on going and sort them later. Be sure to have a ready pile of ingots to drop into your pot as the level drops, and it will drop quite quickly. It's go man go, and soon you will have a pile of bullets. I have never broken a sprue handle doing this. If you fill a cold mold all the way and try to pry it open with hardened lead in all the cavities you almost certainly will break something.

Exactly the mold i was looking for, it drops the bullets exactly .311 and does its job.
