Cast bullet Engineering

Received my 'special order' 303 bullet mould today. It is a double mould with 2 different 303 cavities, a 314-190GC which has proven so accurate in a number of rifles and 314-220GC which will closely duplicate the old cupro-nickle shape for use in my 1902 long LE.

Having purchased over twenty CBE moulds through the years, the new management team have taken what was a very good product, and made them absolutely excellent. First impression was an attention to finish, thicker sprue plates, larger brass block size for more even heat distribution. I requested a double cavity with different bullet designs and a third alignment pin. These features were added for only a very modest fee above the standard mould price.

Casting day tomorrow!

Rainy days are best spent bullet casting, so I spent some time casting and loading both types of projectiles for the 303. Very impressed with the big 220gn (RHS of pic)with its long bore riding parallel nose that just touches the top of lands in my Martini Enfields.

I weighed the pills on a set of Dillion electronic scales and found that using the same alloy, bullets from the new mould were within 0.1gn of the old mould that I bought about 15 years ago.
