Thanks guys for a good answer to my question.

I searched the forums but didn't find an answer to my question, so if my question has been asked just direct me to to the previous post. My question is, I understand that traditional lubed cast...

I'm primarily interested in consistency. I shoot my T-53 in friendly matches at 100 yards and with the open tangent sights. With my 59 year old nearsighted and color blind eyes on those open sights a...

Thanks for all the replies. A few added comments to some of your suggestions. I chose 4227 because when I started several months ago reloading for my Mosins it was the only powder I could get that...

I know there are many opinions on my question but hear goes anyway. I am reloading 7.62x54R for the Chinese T-53 with iron tangent sights. I primary shoot at paper in friendly 100 yard matches of...

303 Guy, my condolences on loosing your son, my daughter was also born in 1986, I cannot imagine what it would be like to loose her. My prayers are with you.

Thanks guy's ! I had already tested a round to see if it would chamber, it did. I was thinking the boolits would work fine, but in reloading a question asked as an ounce of prevention is worth a ton...

I have some .316 dia. 200 gr. cast boolits I obtained for an Mosin 91/30 with a worn bore. I have obtained a T-53 rifle with a good bore that slugs at .313. I would like to test a few cast rounds in...

Just a note to show the repair. I used JB Weld and brass screws. All I need now is some good weather to go to the range and test out the rifle and the stock repair. Thanks for everyone's input

This forum has so many knowledgeable people here I thought I would pose a non casting question to all the smart people here. I bought one of SOG's cracked stock T53's. I have had suggested to me the...

I reload for my CZ-82 in 9mm Mak. I use bullets out of the Lee .365 Mak mold which drop at 102 grains from COWW. I've been loading 3.5 grains of HP-38 and getting good results. Pistol powder is still...

I use a similar process in my trimming and reloading of my 9mm MAK. The expander plug in my Lee expander die is not putting a sufficient flair on the case to prevent lead shaving off the cast...

Hey guys, I need some input to a problem I'm having loading 9mm Makarov with Lee dies. I'm using a cast boolit from the Lee 365 95 grain mold. The cases are 9mm Luger that have been trimmed down to...

Recently I was blessed to be able to purchase the Lee 95 gr .365 mold for the 9mm Makarov. I made up about 300 boolits from wheel weights and lubed them with LLA. Yesterday I was able to try out my...

What kind of powder has coated the boolits, is it the dirt in the media?

I have about a dozen reloaded rounds of 9mm Mak with commercial cast boolits that accidentally got run through a vibrator cleaner with dirty brass. I don't want to get a long discussion started...

I have a fairly new Lee 10 Lb bottom pour pot. The old candle wax flux I have used wants to wick over the side of the pot and burn on the outside of the pot. What is the best way to clean this old...

What size primers do the new berdan primed 7.62x54r, like the herters or brown bear, have.

Thanks again guys for the great advice

I have considered sizing down an 8mm since it may be easier to hone out a Lee sizing die than beagle or hone a mold, and my bank account doesn't allow for a custom mold. :) Have any of you tried...

As usual thanks for the ideas guys. :o Although this old gun has been cleaned many times in the last 2 years, I have cleaned more, this time with "wipe out patch out" and gotten a lot of copper out....

Back in November I posted seeking advice for reloading for my 1943 M91/30 and got some great advice. Treekiller was even kind enough to send me some bullets to try. Well the weather finally turned...

Here's an update. Badbobgerman sent me some of his 105 grain TC bullets that he cast and lubed. I finally had a chance to get to the range and do some comparison. First the tech facts,

So far they are more accurate than I am as a marksman. Your mileage may vary.

I get a few small streaks of lead after 75 to 100 rounds, cleans up quickly with a little Hoppes #9 and a brush.
