Yes, Mike, but only as a 100 yard target load. It was kind of a Q&D workup but 10 went into 1.25 inch at 100 with a K31 and the GI barrel sights (the rifle shoots 1 MOA with commercial full jacket loads). The bullet was from an old Ideal 308329 mould (I figure it's maybe a slightly undersized 311329 and about as close as you can get to the Swiss full patch contour) seated to an OAL of 3.02 inches over 15.5 grains of 4227.

Shot my K-31 with Ideal 311413 reloads at 1000yd coyote silloutes … with stock iron sights one day.  Danced within inches and finally dropped a coyote.  Very accurate shooting rams at 500m with the same reload
