Could you please clarify how you fit the bullet to the throat?
Thanks.

Thank you for the explanation. What is the relationship between the weight of the paper and the gauge? I have read about 9 lb and 16lb etc. In Europe you see 80 grams/m2 or 60 grams/m2 etc.

Hi Jeff,
Maybe you have already tried it, but what about using Zinc. I remember an article in Handloader's digest bout a Zinc washer swaged to a bullet.

To maximize case life I size the neck to 8 mm and then the .303 Br. sizing die is adjusted until the bolt just closes on the case. Putting one turn of tape around the base also helps with centering.

I was wondering about using Accurate no. 9 or no 7 . Those are not slow. Do you mean a delayed ignition with click-bang or a catastrophic unorganized sudden fieldstripping of the rifle?

The same for me , they don't want to ship to Europe. I don't understand what the problem is. They just have to put some more stamps on the envelope. :confused:

I have read that ball powders should not be used for reduced (low pressure) loads.
What is the reason for that?

The 113 grain Lee did not feed in my Underwood 1943. When I pushed the magazine upwards and forward they do feed. There is a lot of play in the magazine to carbine fit. I guess I will have to modify...

Thanks for the reactions. I certainly could have bought a mold for the 32 ACP, Old ironsights. But I had the 30M1 mold and it was not much work to change it. Being a cheapskate also does not help :)...
I shoot a Walther PP in 32 ACP a lot . I still had the LEE C309-120R mold that I used for .30 M1. It seemed a good candidate for modification. The handles must be taken of first. The pins are staked...
I once had an 6.5 mm RCBS mold . I was nearly impossible to cast good bullets with this mold until the vent lines were enlarged.
