Checking my midway "Just about everything" catalog, looks like LEE makes two molds that you might consider, a 93 gr 1 radius ogive drops at .311" Mold # 311-93-1R, and a 100 gr 2 radius ogive drops at .311" mode # 311-100-2R on page 440. I like the weight of 93 grs which is pretty much standard, but I like the profile of the 2R ogive that is the shape of the 100 gr bullet. Both look like they would be superb. They come in 2 cavity and 6 cavity. Just food for thought. Hugh used to take a .312" jacketed bullet and run it through two or three cast bullet sizers to get it down to .309", I think after he ran it through the .309" it may have sprung back to .3095" or so. My brain is too old to remember dem detials!
