I'm not well versed in rifle casting. I have played with PC .308's, but never used a gas check. I'm getting a type 99 and don't plan on ever buy a factory round, or projectile for that matter. Firstly, what diameter bullet is the norm? The more I read, the more confused I am. Different people seem to shoot them all over the place. As I don't have the rifle in hand, I can't slug. Can I avoid a GC? Will a plain base PC bullet shoot fine with moderate loads? I plan to order a Mold from Accurate. Any style suggestions?
To update from last weeks adventure, I finally nailed down some 8MM Nambu dies, and brass. Will be ordering a 8MM mold along with the 7.7. I'll get these old war trophys roaring again soon.
