Shoots well!

i've got a pair of 48's, a Mitchell "Tanker" and a G33-40 waiting for cast bullets. Casted up a bunch of Saeco 160 grain bullets. They are in the que in a long line of experimenting. I've been doing a bunch of -5F testing here too the last few days. Brisk!

I am having a hard time getting mine to feed Lee 175's. Right of magazine feeds fine, left hangs up.

My G33-40 and two of the M-48's feed smooth, but the one M48 is a problem child with that flat nose bullet.

Try the Lee 185 gc ! Shoots very well in my G98-40's, K98! Nice RN design that feeds with out hanging up.

I bought two of these molds and have not been able to apply gas checks consistently. The skirt/shank is too big at .303-.304. I had an older mold, 1990's? that worked well but I sold all of my 8mm stuff figuring to not go back that way again, Laughing out loud.(lol)
