Anybody remember this 30-cal. GB mould from 2006?

Cast Boolits - Dedicated To The World Of Cast Bullets!

I got this mould on a trade a while back and just got around to casting up some boolits today. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?7786-150-Grain-Plain-Base-30-cal-TL-with-one-large-lube-groove
They look fine, and I'll be loading them for my Win 94 and for my Oviedo Mauser in .308 this weekend. Plenty of starting load data around for this size boolit. My question: Has anybody shot this boolit and got good results? I have scoured the GB archives but I cannot find much info. There are posts in a couple of threads that refer to a screw-up by Lee (it's a 6-banger); that the moulds were cut to the wrong specs. Any info would be appreciated before I get too far into loading...
I picked up one of those from someone here more than a year ago. The boolits I have cast from it are .311" base band and TL bands with a .300" nose ~144gr. The few that I have shot showed promise, but were very light loads from an 03a3. I could see the boolit before it impacted the target at 55 yards. I need to try these in one of my 30-30s and my short throated .308.
Thanks for the input. The guy I got the mould from was very hot to trot in the GB; so I found it a little strange that he so easily parted with it.
