This week, I tried out my MiHec HP mold, the 312-159. It casts pretty well with 70/30 Pure/Coww and 2% pewter. Yes, I ran them a little soft. I want to see how soft the GC's will let me shoot, and I want to get the HP to stay on the front of it, if I can. Anyway, they really started dropping at 740 degrees and I think they are a wonderful looking boolit. I'm going to run this one through the 30-30. The nose drops at .302, so it will need just a touch of sizing, but I have a Redding sizer bushing coming this week so I should be able to nose-size the first 1/3 of it to .300 fairly easily.
Anyway... it looks like fun. The crimp-to-nose length is exactly the same as the 311291, and that one does chamber in the Win 94 at a .301 diameter. There just won't be nearly as much in the neck as with the 291.
