170 grain for light loads and 196 for nice recoil and surplus ammo of the past. I like the old Romanian. Use good data because commercial ammo is loaded down. Make sure you have a .323 groove in 8...

If both imr and hodgdon is listed the data must be good for both. I would use it myself. But try a newer manual.

I empty mine to clean the red and white oxides out of it with a wire brush, when it needs it.

I purchased that mold a few years back, but sold it. Sorry I can’t help more. Good boolit. Had ammo and gave it all away. When I sell a gun it’s gone. Not always real smart because of unfinished...

They use 93 grain in Europe for hunting and are sposed to be pretty accurate. The guns have a long throat so the original loading was a 154 grain, I think thin jacketed. That would be good or cast...

These stories are just sending me right to the gunsmith. I was a sheet metal mechanic and precision is largely beyond me. Even when working with 1/32 tolerances. I can make a jig but not with...

Can one of these work for an amateur with a drill press? They have a jig on gunbroker for $147. This might be less than a gunsmith to do a drill and tap. Sportsman’s warehouse wants 35$+ 25$ per...

You need to slug your bore. It might have .268 grooves like the carcano.
