Pointy cast bullets in 308 Winchester

[Doug Lee]

Are the "pointy" bullets technically called spire point/tip?
Thanks,

Yes these are spire points. The ogive profile is similar to hornady 150 grain fmj.

Only pointy cast rifle bullets I have ever used were also an NOE, a ,314 129gr sized down to ,311 in 7.62x39mm, worked like a charm. Those points sharp!

Which mold is your 129 grain noe?

Some years ago, I shot regular lubed cast in .30-06.
Best powders were 2400 and 700X.

NRA said cast spitzers did not shoot well, but the linotype a friend cast for me did.

I had to go dig it out of the storage box - I've used it exactly once in the last two years, cast up a few for a guy with a 7.6x39mm rifle. It's a wee bit dirty.

Man that looks like fun for all the 30 calibers!!!
