I have that mold. it's not so good in MN but works well in 303 with perfect .310 or less bore. I found it useless in 2 groove bore.
I haven't shot it in 308 or 30-06 but I would it I had the...

Have a very close look at the muzzle.There can be many things going on there that will do that,unfortunately most of them can be only solved by counterboring and I don't think you would like to do...

I'm looking on every gun show for that mold.No luck so far.
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
Technically you can make it from 8x56R cases except:
-x56R cases are more expensive (at least where I am)
-case diameter by the rim is a tad larger then it should be for x 54R.You can use them in...

12Gr under NOE 198Gr Spire Point in 303 is my success in 303 Brit.
Not much of luck in 3 rifles in 8x57.3-4 group and that's it.

In M48A I had Lyman bullet+ 13.3Gr of Promo going at 1550fps.
Lee 165Gr did just the same with same speed yet produced slightly worse accuracy.
I wish Lee bullet was made with just a bit longer...
If anyone has that mold or regular driving band version that makes boolits too large I'll be happy to buy it.
I have one of those molds.Same thing as yours.I'm sure it's a "feature" not a fault.
Good boolit for plinking indoor 50yrd with Gew 88.7.5 Gr of 700x works well in mine.

I had M48A.Excellet rifle.Out of the box needed only trigger parts fine polishing.

I do use that load since 1999.Read up whole article by Mr.Harris-there is a lot more to be learned there than just "The Load".

I bet they will be working out new tactics before electric/ray guns are introduced :)
If so they can do the same thing with Air Soft arms for fraction of the cost LOL.

Are you taking about Italian conversion of Vetterli to 6.5x52 ? i made a batch of boolits .269 NOE 145 GR for guy who had one of those.
He loaded them,shot them and afaik he purchased that mold...

My 2 Finn M91s are shooting 312 version of that boolit by HM2.Next mold to try in them is undersized new lee version-it makes .311.
Strangely enough my 1917 No1Mk3 SMLE loves .312 and I will try...
I do what 17Nut did on the picture to every new mold I get.Never had a problem.
btw-I have seen few lee molds used by guys in my gun club and I can't believe how beaten those molds are.No wonder...

Norma brass you say? Every older Norma brass lot I tried had this bulge.I did 4 calibers,all the same result.PPU brass on other hand didn't have it at all.

I'd like to but that 312-160 if it casts too big for you.Mine casts perfect 311.Not so good for what I need but perfect for my 308 .

I use both Lee .312 and NOE 314365 depending on what bore size ( I have 2 MN).I really wish Lee increase size of that boolit because as nagantguy stated above it seats exactly bang on where it...

I ordered custom Lee collet die for M95-works like a charm.
I was told number of times that Steyers and Rubins shouldn't be neck sized since it's "straight bolt" action but I neck size for both...

Lee .329 works great in my 8x50R (aka Lebel) Gras single shot.I tried it in big bored Turk Mauser with no luck-nose section too large.
