A mold to make boolits like Double Tap sells:

230 grain wfn with gas check.

I was reading that a case full of IMR Trail Boss works quite well and gives medium velocities.

I have an NEF in this caliber. I want to work up a load that delivers about 1400 fps. The...

My question is why? What would that do for you really?

I haven't put hands on one of these yet. But I do have several NEF Handi Rifles - and they are good shooters - range from OK to very good accuracy. And they are made in the USA and priced...

Well, as it turns out, mountain molds can't make or won't make a mold heavier than 225 grains for a .338" boolit. The software basically tells you to "no" and prevents the order of a heavier boolit....

I was planning on using what I've used with good success on all of my other rifle boolits - Lee liquid alox. I use it to size and then tumble again and let dry.

Nice lookin designs guys - and...

How about this:

this is the drawing from the Mountain Mold site.

Yes, I see what you are saying now. I've gone back and played with the parameters some more... I'm waiting for a closing on some land before I go ahead and make the final design and order...

I do...

Good shooting!

Hmmm.

I measured several jacketed bullets to get their dimensions and nose length, etc. They are designed (and do) fit standard magazines and such.

:brokenima

Thanks for the links. I have to admit that I kind of like the idea of having my very own OSOK design mold :lovebooli

And the unsupported portion of the nose would be remidied if I extended the...

impact slug = alternative chamber cast?

makes sense. That would show the exact dimensions... as long as the boolit isn't over maximum OACL and fits in the magazine...

I have a new 338-06 Savage rifle - actually it started as a Stevens 200 .270 and I've switched the barrel, added a rifle basix trigger and replaced the plastic trigger guard with a steel one.

First I've heard of this - how'd it go?

Take down huh. Cool.

All of my stuff from Grafs arrived! They had everything in stock.

I got the RCBS mold and Lee sizer die. I was just going to hone out the die but stopped when I found...

Is that a recent production Winny? I suppose so, given there aren't a lot of originals floating around.

Did another search and found this thread: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/search.php?searchid=2269193

But no happy ending... Olle? What happended next?

Great thread! I enjoyed reading through this. Found it on a search for the RCBS mold.

I just ordered one.

I've read that this is a "bore rider" design and the nose measures .410"? If so,...

The Connecticut Marlin plant is closing.

From the report, sounds like they are moving to North Carolina - where parent company Remington Arms is located.

Costs in NC are much much lower.

Speaking of Burris - you may consider their new Fast Fire reflex sight (very small) mounted in a mid-barrel adapter mount (Turnbull makes this). This avoids all of ejection issues.

I personally...

Didn't read all replies complete - just skimmed down but I'll just add and recommend a few things:

Lyman No.2 or Wheel Weight alloy is fine for rifles up to 2000 fps - will even expand some for...

I have a 1970 Win 94 that I rebarreled and restocked - used the Numrich 24" octagonal barrel "kit" and a replacement buttstock/cressent buttplate. Turned out nice. Before I installed the barrel, I...

Yeah, its not the lube IMHO. Its the fit/alloy. I'm getting leading too with some 44 Special loads and 10mm loads (Glock with Storm Lake barrel). The leading is at the breach end -which...

There's the pic from up thread.

From what I remember, they had the same issues as the...

Boy, not much to add but I will second, third, fourth - whatever the neck sizing and accuracy improvement for handloading.

In particular, I have found that the 200 grain Lyman bore-ridder (gas...
