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.

Is there a way of ordering that mold with one grease groove less?

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...

I shoot my M41 and M91 Carcanos rather regularly.Recipie?Fireform case,neck size with Lee 6.5 collet die-machine down the length of it by about 5/32.As is that die will squeeze about 1/2 the neck....

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.
Norma is very long lasting brass and can...
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'm waiting for someone making those molds since HM2 did his perfect run of .312 (and others) version.
IMHO that design makes perfect sense in any caliber say,7mm and up.Perfect proportions,ease of...

If old articles are to be believed this boolit was never particularly accurate.Just not nearly enough bearing surface.
I think upsizing Lee Harris boolit to .325 (both length and diameter to keep...

You are missing Austrian Werndl Infantry Rifle.It was very famous in its time.Very few survived to this day,I have seen only one ,short,Police version.

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...
