I have a design for a .332 bullet to use in the 8x56r Hungarian Mannlicher. Its a spire point bullet with three lube grooves and takes an 8mm gas check. Lee's C329-205-1R mold just doesn't shoot well in my rifle. My question --- Where do I go from here???????

Not quite sure, but let me know! I have the rifle and want to cast for it.

You should shoot a PM to SwedeNelson. He is the proprietor of NOE Bullet Molds. (http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/index.php?osCsid=i4ruag7ce430qfdaggfj4vmmt7)
He might be interested in working with you on a new design.

I'd be interested if it becomes a reality. Don't go with Mihec. He makes fantastic molds but he's backed up 2+ years. Lee can assist as well, though for awhile their custom stuff was spotty in quality.

Easiest, cheapest way is to lap out the Lee push through sizer from .329 to .32 or .333, then size down a .338 bullet. Works fine for me.

Shouldn't need a new design. I believe Swede has the Oldfeller Frankenstein in his list of molds.
