Frank, what do you use your 314316hp for?
|
Not much, now that I avoid the mold.
But... it was originally purchased for use in .32 H&R / .327 Federal (.312"/.313").
Now that I have a few molds, including FN-only molds, I also use the bullets in 7.62x54R (.316"), 7.7x58mm Jap (.315"), and .30 WCF (.309"/.310"). One of these days, I may even stuff some in the .30-06.
To date, it has only been fired at paper, water bottles, beer cans, rocks, and dirt.
One somewhat applicable note on that design - NOE lists the bullet as a 115 gr FN-PB, but it's closer to 115 gr as a naked GC-HP. It weighs about 128 gr, as a FN-PB and 117 (my molds) as a GC-HP. With lube and a GC, you're back up around 122 gr.
It was a miscalculation on Swede's part, when he first listed the design, and he just hasn't wanted to change it.
