I have a ton of .30cal bullets lying around and, as things are, I want to load them for two of my rifles.
a 30-30 and a 7.5mm French ... both use .308 bullets.
The cast bullets I have a supply of are .310 dia, specifically marketed for loading 30-30.
Esp on the MAS Im thinking about slugging the bore... but thats for a later time as I would have to get a mold & sizer for whatever size, and thats hard to come by right now.
So people load these things in their 30-30s I assume, which have 308 bores... I dont see a reason to not go for it. The are Moly-D coated so they arent mean to be sized.
What it comes down to is this, is it a SAFETY issue or an ACCURACY issue?
With my calipers I can barely detect a difference in these bullets and my Nosler jacketed .308 bullets, if at all.
If its an accuracy thing I can just load them up and see how they do... but I dont want to have a bullet stuck and have crap blow back in my face, or worse...
So whats the consensus? Safety or Accuracy
