Brit, I agree that these are for cast only. I should have mentioned that. I did make the mistake of trying a FMJ once in my .308 Mauser. About 5000 raps later with a brass rod and wood mallet it finally popped out from the chamber. Lessons learned department. My 30 year + old Lee .312 diameter, 185 grain mold is about ready for the boneyard. Wobbles all over. Am (and have been) on the hunt for a new one. Have used the both the Lyman .314/115 gr and the Accurate Molds 31-134D with joy also.... but generally with a light charge of Unique in my No4 Maltby. The 115 grainer more less shoots at .32-20 performance levels.
