I'm trying to start casting for my 7br. I tried some 160gr truncated cone saeco's but I have to seat the boolit very deep to get them to chamber.

I am looking for some samples of other boolits. Lyman 160gr, Saeco SPGC, and others if there are. I will gladly pay shipping.

Or if you can take the time to send me the dimensions of the boolits. RCBS 145s do seat with the check in the neck and chamber fine. I just can't find dimesions of the other boolits I'm lookng at.

Thank you in advance
Tom

I cast 120 Grain W/ GC from two old Lyman Ideal molds. Use them in 7 X 57, 7-30 Waters, 7MM TCU, and 7 MM WSM. Sized .285 very accurate and inexpensive to shoot.

This is the Lyman I shoot in my 7x57.
It drops at .2855 on the drive bands and .276 on the nose in linotype and .285 and .2755 in 50/50. I size the nose to .275 down far enough to get the seating depth I want with the GC in the case neck. This has prooved very accurate in my rifle.
