You got the rifled bore dimensions then
the throat will be larger - hopefully by only a couple of thou.
take one of your fired cases that hasn't been resized and measure the inside of the neck.

It is better to live one day as a LION than a dozen days as a Sheep.
Thomas Jefferson Quotations:
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
Note that the Ranch Dog TL310-150 was made for bolt action rifles like the CZ's. I didn't care and got the TL313-150 RD, powder coat it to bring it up to size it .314", it hits something and is slightly deformed at the nose when chambering in my SKS's. Accuracy is still good nuff though and Smoke's yellow-green is just too cool.
A deplorable that votes!

You'll want to use a fired case from a full-power, jacketed-bullet load. If your cast boolit will just slip into the neck of such a fired case, you're approximately at the correct size for your rifle's throat.
I wanted to get that mold but thy don't have any left, besides PB or PB/GC combo, you in need of any molds .458,460,360? to trade? huh...huh....huh??? lol

Just FYI - I slugged my Romanian SKS using a Lyman 170gr shiny cast bullet. This bore measures .312" I.D. bore with .302" lands.
I use the NOE /314 129 gr boolit all the time. I used it with a vz-58 and currently use it in a CZ 527M. It works wonders in the 527, powder coated or hard lubed. I had to play with hardness a bit in the vz-58 to keep from spraying lead up into the gas tube on to the piston face. THAT was fun to clean out.
I currently powder coat and then size to .311 through a Lee push through sizer while mounting the gas check. I ring steel out to 300 yards with that bullet over 21.5 gr AA# 1680 all day long, wonderful stuff. I have the Lee 160gr mold, use the boolits once in a while, but with the NOE, I usually don't bother because it runs so well.
hey maven, is that pic of the 8mm bullet before or after sizing, I am thinking of getting the same mold, but want to make sure there would still be sufficient lube grooves after sizing to .314 thank you
