What's the expert consensus?
Having troubles with my Lyman 6.5mm mold (undersized boolits) and my brain seems to recall there was already a thread about this particular problem but I can't find it.
Am i crazy?

Looking for an older article (80s or 90s) about a guy who would convert M1 Garands into 300 Win Mag, 338 Win Mag, and even 458 Win Mag.
