Thread: Casting for an SMLE

You will find that .314" cast bullets shoot better than the smaller diameters, Not many .303 barrels are even close to .312" even new barrels are more likely to be 313"
The throats on them a worn from the cordite trying seat the bullet to touch the rifling is a waste of time seat the base of the bullet level with the base of the neck to give the bullet
good support, My mould casts bullets at .315" bullet I only have a .314" size die, If you want to get a mould order one that is .002" over groove diameter it will have to be a custom
order the usual mold makers don't do special orders, Or powder coat thebullets that adds about .002" .
