I know this is an old thread so forgive the bump but I wanted to add my load that cycles my Hakim just fine on the lowest gas setting:

Powder coated 205gr .329 Lee sized to .324
28gr to 29gr...

Well, I got my order today. As I feared, they don't look too great. Obviously done in a major hurry, lots of them have poor fill and wrinkles from the mold not being proper temperature. The lube...

The reason I ordered from them is to try out bullets from 3 different NOE molds and see how my particular rifles like them. If they do, I'll buy the molds.

On a Lee mold, I'll take a chance. ...

Opened a case with PayPal and got a notice a shipping label was created within 12 hours.

That's pretty shady. But hopefully I'll be getting my order and some decent bullets.

I still never...

I'm at 7 weeks with no response so far.

I've sent three emails and called many times with no answer.

I see their ordering system is still sucking in people's money, so that's crazy if...

Wish I would have seen this thread before I ordered. Order placed 4.23 and haven't heard anything. It hasn't been that long, and I'm patient, but things don't look good.

Here's a 10 round Mosin mag like you described. I haven't tried one, but here it is:

$30 C&R License + Graf and Sons dealer account = win

Maybe I got lucky but I don't have to trim my brass any differently for my two 1889 rifles than I do for my two K31's, two K11's, 1911, and 96/11. In fact, I do nothing different for them...

MG34dotcom has extractors for about 20 bucks. Numrich had them about a week ago but are sold out when I just checked.

The 8x56R extractors aren't the hard ones to find. What we need is someone...

I will be checking into this, thanks. I have the .314 202gr NOE mold and I'm getting shotgun patterns out of my Argentine Mausers and can't figure out why. Also not impressed with the accuracy of...

That's a great bullet for 8mm. Too bad it's undersized for most of the rifles it's designed for! Lee should have made that mold at least .330. Most 8x56R rifles I've slugged are around .330-.331"...

FYI, this is a great source for M95 parts and I rarely see anyone speak of it. They have extractors in stock for 20 bucks, which is something everyone should have a spare of if they shoot these...

I've had some luck in rifles with a decent bore. I have several of them, jumped on them when SOG had them for 89 bucks. One slugged at .3335"

The tightest one was .331"

This makes the Lee...

I also got this as my first "nice" mold. Very nice quality. I've been using nothing but Lee, but sick of their quality issues and having to drill and tap each one just to hold the sprue plate screw...

As far as handguns go, I am a CZ guy. My favorite pistol to shoot is probably my CZ75B Omega. Most of my pistol shooting is with military surplus C&R guns. Makarovs, 1911s, Tokarevs, CZ52, CZ50,...

Those look nice!

I bedded the tang and recoil lug on my best shooting 91/30 a couple days ago, I'm looking forward to seeing how it shoots now. It had the usual huge gap at the tang, so I hope...

You can argue whether these are safe or not, but there's no argument as to whether or not they were made for the NATO or CETME cartridge.

I have one I bought from SAMCO. I got...

If anyone needs extractors, this place has them for under 20 bucks a piece.

M95 extractors aren't hard to find. Hard to find is a M95M extractor!

I've had no issues with using gas checks on my HF Red powder coated bullets. Jury is still out on whether the GC helps accuracy or not on coated ones, but I don't think they need it as far as...

I have a handful of milsurp rifles and the only ones that really like cast loads with fast powders are my Swiss rifles and a 7.35 Carcano. They do great with 2400. In my Mosins, Mausers, Enfield,...

Here's my unissued Yugo M59/66A1.




.....and a kitty.

Those are some nice groups! If you buy enough 91/30's, you'll find some can be quite accurate. I've gotten lucky with most of mine. I also shim the stocks when needed and install Finn two-stage...

I collect Mosins and have a whole extended family of them.
3 Chinese Type 53's
2 M44's, one refurb, one non-refurb
6 or so refurb 91/30's
1 Finn 91/30
1 Finn M91
1 Finn M27
4 Finn M39's

I own about 23 different sets of Lee dies and I've only had one problem, their 7.62x25 Tokarev sizer doesn't properly size the case. I wasn't impressed with their customer service when I tried to...
