311 165 grain PB-what velocity

I was given a NOE mold 311 165Gr. RF 4 cavity PB (RD) by a guy at work. He wants me to cast him some boolits. He wants to use these in the 30-30 and 30-06.Although I only cast and shoot lead for 9mm and 45, I have not done rifle boolits. It is my understanding that a GC is required at any rifle velocity to prevent leading. Can you experience rifle casters guide me?

It is my understanding that a GC is required at any rifle velocity to prevent leadingNope. A plain base boolit is fine at moderate velocities, if cast out of an appropriate alloy and fit appropriately to the gun in question.

I would say 1400 FPS as a top end velocity, but it really is going to be determined by the rifle.

Nope. A plain base boolit is fine at moderate velocities, if cast out of an appropriate alloy and fit appropriately to the gun in question.Don't forget the proper lube.

I normarlly use 45-45-10 for pistol; good for rifle >1400 FPS?
