That was the first custom mold I designed and had Saeco make for me, almost 40 years ago now. I was young and dumb and consulted with Frank Marshall of the CBA for advice. I wanted a "woods thumper" cast bullet for the first Winchester 54 .30-30 I had back then and Frank was a big proponent of a 190 grain cast bullet in his .30-30 Savage 340 for bears over in the Blue Ridge. (He loaded his hunting ammo for that gun with a case full of old Surplus 4831, pretty much like H-4831 today. I have used 28.0 grains 3031 in .30-30 and .303 Savage for about 35 years now.) It turned out to be a darned accurate bullet in about every .30 rifle I've used it in. Most of my Springfields will cut cloverleafs with it. Out of a couple dozen .30 molds I have, that one would be the last to ever leave.
