Welcome to the guide Qajaq59. I've been wanting to, have shot 90gr pistol bullets with very good results.
Welcome, too. Good to see new members here! There are many threads dealing with this topic next door on the Cast Boolits board, and lots of good info to be found there, including all the load data you could ever want. The best news is that while most commercial .30 cal molds throw boolits too small for optimum results with cases like the .308 & .30-30 (they need .310-.312), the bore and groove diameters of the K31's are slightly smaller and they shoot great with ones sized to .308-.309. That means you don't need to go to the expense of custom molds and you can use a Lee sizer and liquid alox without having to shell out the cash for a lubrisizer to experiment. I have never heard any negative comments on the rifle or the cartridge, especially in the accuracy department, so it looks like you are going to have a lot of fun.
