I like the Look of that Bullet and want to try It in My 30-30 Contender Barrels....
Would like to Buy 20 or so from Someone to see if They will chamber in My Guns,before I buy the Mold.

Don't have that one . I do have the RNFP 311-165 RD and it's very good in the old 325 30-30 and a 110 in 308 .

I sure have put a lot of those bullets downrange, but that is not the same bullet as the NOE TL311-165-RF. The bullet GG pictured is what I designated as the TLC311-165-RF and later changed it to the TLC311-170-RF to better reflect the weight. It was designed for the generous throat of Marlin 336s chambered in 30-30 Win.

It was not a good bullet for the Winchester M94, as they tend to keep chambers on spec, so I designed the TLC311-165-RF. Here is a comparison of the two, notice the bore rider nose of the 165.

The TL and TLC in the designation are simply whether there is a gas check shank or not. What are you going to use it for?
