I just got my mould last week, I cast about 500 and had about 450 keepers. Loaded 50 for the 32WS and 50 each for 3 8x57s. It will bee the weekend before I can get to the range to tell how they shoot. My mould drops .325" and 177grns bare, Almost 180 flat gc & lube, It SHOULD be a good fit for the 8x57 I have high hopes.

The one autofix4u has worked well enough for my Yugo that I bought a 6 cavity. I hope it casts the same size as the 2 holer, but I haven't had time to cast it. Been working on other stuff.

Well, here's my tale of woe-- my mold tosses them out @ .327. I used the Lee Lube and sized them (in the Lee sizer) To .323" and had trouble fitting the Hornady gas checks. So in a moment of "brilliance" I tried running some thru the Lyman sizer (@ .321") and then firing them through my 8x57. The results were NOT good! I should have known better but didn't pay attention to what I was doing and wound up leading the final 8 or 10" of the barrel VERY badly-- to the point that I have been scrubbing lead for the past week. This is NOT to find fault with the RD mould, but to confess my sins in the hope that someone has a sure fire method of leasd removal short of applying mecury (in the hope of amalgamating the lead). I have a bunch of jacketed bullets loaded up and the first warm day will find me headed to the range to vent my exasperation. BTW, I have tried Hoppes, Shooters Choice lead remover,and Sweets 7.62. even tried pulling a .35 cal brass bore brush "backwards" through the bore, all to little effect. Mea Culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Might be a good reason to get a .35 cal barrel on the old Mau.

Make your own Lewis Lead Remover. Basically a rubber stopper, a piece of brass or bronze screen cut the size of a patch, and push it through. Scrapes most of it out in one pass.

try COPPER chore boy pad wrapped around brush. and some oil.
i have removed some bad leading with the correct sized boolits before also.

i have an older ideal 170gr flat point for the 32 win that shoots quite well in my 8 mauser even pushed along a bit over 2200 it does better than the lyman round nose mentioned above and my noe 140.
but at one at a time speed it's reserved for hunting with a soft nose.

Thanks for the input. I'll give the " Choreboy" a try first. Thanks again, Stan
