Now that I am retired I have time to spend on hobbies I had years ago. This past year I obtained three military guns... Arisaka 99, 1918 Lee Enfield MK3*, and 1898 krag.
I plan on using them strictly for target practice. I want to mold my own bullets.The krag slugs at.309 and the Arisaka and Lee Enfield both slug at .311.
All three rifles are in very good condition.
I have a few questions I would appreciate if someone could help me.
1. What is a good and safe dia. to size for the .309 and .311?
2.Could I use the same mold for both sizes and size them different?
3. I am looking for light loads for target practice. Any suggestions?
4. At christmas I was given a box of Winchester 303 British 180 grain CXP3 for my Enfield. I am reluctant to shoot them after doing a little reading about older Enfields. Any suggestions? This gun is interesting because it has a muzzle guard called a flanders flap.(so I was told).
I can post some pictures if anyone is interested.
