tidying and logging everything in the man cave and never realised how many boolits molds i own lol
got the lee 8mm max mold at 225 gns and wondered if anyone had any experience reloading and accuracy reports.

Might weigh the boolits that come out of it, I have a Karabiner which is slightly lighter version of this boolit. Mine weighs about 235gr.

bullets cast a constant 239 gns........only issue i found is they are .324 is when i size and gas check i notice the gas check goes on easy and some do come off if i try and pry them.... might have to super glue the buggers on

Well i'm a lucky sod because mine casts a nice fat .328" and my checks need to be hammered on.

Mine weighs around 250 gr. lubed and gas checked. I have no load data for a slug that heavy. Suggestions folks??
