How about taking a drill press and a jig and drilling into the base to remove the desired weight?jungleman9941 wrote:has anyone milled down this mold to lighten it up? i would like it to drop about 150-160gr. this is for a 300 blackout. i have a 312-160 already, i was hoping to get something that may feed better.

Or HP it, pushing the Cg towards the rear, aiding in its ballistics, and giving it "more" expansion down range?dbod wrote:How about taking a drill press and a jig and drilling into the base to remove the desired weight?jungleman9941 wrote:has anyone milled down this mold to lighten it up? i would like it to drop about 150-160gr. this is for a 300 blackout. i have a 312-160 already, i was hoping to get something that may feed better.

Moving the weight towards the back also helps the bullet tumble. Getting a bulletvto tumble is more reliable than getting it to expand at subsonic velocities.Boosted98gsx wrote:Or HP it, pushing the Cg towards the rear, aiding in its ballistics, and giving it "more" expansion down range?dbod wrote:How about taking a drill press and a jig and drilling into the base to remove the desired weight?jungleman9941 wrote:has anyone milled down this mold to lighten it up? i would like it to drop about 150-160gr. this is for a 300 blackout. i have a 312-160 already, i was hoping to get something that may feed better.

Agreed, and more important as it's been shown that cast subs don't tumble much (or at all) through ballistic gelatin.Dolomite_Supafly wrote:Moving the weight towards the back also helps the bullet tumble. Getting a bulletvto tumble is more reliable than getting it to expand at subsonic velocities.
I can modify the mold, I just wanted to know if the modified bullet shot well. I think it has some potential in 30-06, and maybe 300 Blk.bluejay75 wrote:I could spec that out for you and built it. I was consider running a clone of the NOE XCB (Xtreme Cast Boolit 311-165ish) but if you know that this wil stack in a magazine with no issues I could build it.
