Wrong. Talked to Dave to make sure of die neck diameter which sounded perfect. Ordered it, tried it and neck was .006" smaller than he said.
Hard to get a hold of, lousy service. Never again.

Cartridge is a Lebel 8x50R . Am thinking about using one section of toilet paper and push it down against the powder. Remember doing it withMauser 11.15 x 60R and smokeless powder. I am not expecting...
Apparently French Army let its soldiers practice with round balls at close range with their Berthier rifles.
For sure, I'll do. You tried .330" round balls in a .308" groove barrel ? You have more balls than I do .
You sure ? .330" balls in a .308" groove barrel ? Amazing!
Would loading a .330" round ball for a .315" bore/ .325" groove size barrel be risky ? Apparently, French army was doing it for practice with their Berthier but no idea how big those balls were. Just...

[QUOTE=3006guns;4403804]I just checked the rifle, and it indeed has an "N" stamped on the barrel right at the action. Due to your post and information I have a much better idea of what reloading will...

I realize this topic is getting old but I wanted to see your slides but can't. Are they gone ?
Forum: Gas Checks
I tried the bullets without gaz checks, with 9 gr. of Unique ; terrible accuracy. Will probably have to ask a machinist to enlarge the mold from .312" to .315" otherwise I might as well say good bye...
Forum: Gas Checks
Sorry about that. It's for a Remington IZH (Spartan) break open in 7.62 x 39. I'll follow your advice earlmck and try it without a gaz check. Thanks.
Forum: Gas Checks
I have a problem and wonder if anybody ever saw this before. I beagled a bullet mould, a Lee .312 160gr., to .315 using aluminum tape. I find it hard to place the gaz check square with the base of...
Thanks, i'LL try to find this handloader edition somewhere .
I also used 27gr. of 4895 with 160gr. cast without much success. Where did you find ' quite a bit of data for for Lee's 155 and 160 gr bullets' ?
Need help here with cast load data for my Remington/Baikal Spartan Izh18MH 7.62 x 39 single shot. Apparently I could find a bit of info in the 4th edition of the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook. I have...
Ghosthawk,
Wright, liability is probably the most probable reason for not having any load data for Magteck Shotshell Brass with smokeless powder. I started reloading with a Mauser 71/84 (commonly...
Just received this 'Reloading Brass Shotshells' from Van Denburg: a 40 page ripoff ! Don't buy it. Nothing but Bla Bla Bla and no smokeless powder load data.
Forum: Smokeless Paper Patching
Matthew's book talks about all calibers but I won't go crazy about it. Thought I'd screw up the purpose of paper patching by using too large a bullet and also maybe foul the bore a little more than...
Forum: Smokeless Paper Patching
I planned on sizing down a Lee .309 160 gr down to .303" and patch it up to .312" for my Remington spartan single shot 7.62 x 39. Groove size is .312".
Forum: Smokeless Paper Patching
Could use a little help here.
I read in Paul Matthews book on paper patching that the ideal unpatched bullet size when using smokeless would be .0005 larger than bore size. I have a .3015" bore...
