What size (dia/cal) you mean?

I bought these M39 some time ago - one (I) unussued w/arsenal tug and second (II) with new bore!!! That's why no erosion at all! I did these casts before starting to shoot.

My bad - must be checked long time ago. Thanks for reminding!

Recently got Lee 324-175 mold and made some bullets. Sized them to 0.314" and would like to try them from my MN 91/30 (bore slug 0.314/0.3020" respectively). I'd like to try it because of eroded...

Just got 100 new unprimed Lapua 7.62X53 R to shoot from my M39. Carefully prepared them (cleaning, FL sizing, another cleaning) and load 50 of them with Rem 9 1/2 primers,19 gn of #2400 and Lee 160...

Some M/Ns got loose chamber and to prevent powder's gas leakage Russians used pig lard on the case - I guess it should work to seal chamber.

Just got check my inventory and found 800 Federal 215M Large Magnum PRs. I used them some time w/J bullets (reduced loads).

I got Lee TL312-1602R and 312-180R molds and shoot unsized/no GC bullets from my Mosins. Now I want to try CBs w/GCs but what I found are .308 dia. All my M/Ns got 0.311/0.315 bores and I think 0.308...

Thank you very much, guys!

Read in this forum a few time - some guys to make mold larger doing "beagling" (sorry don't know this word)? What does it means and how to do that?
Thanks beforehand.

Yes, Larry I understand necessity...

Thank you, guys!
