Hi,
Im new to reloading and casting and ive started with the mosin for my learning curve. The problem im having though is absolutely terrible accuracy.
I use the lee mould as mentioned in the title and have also tried using aluminium foil to increase the size of my boolit as my barrel is around 3.15, For my first few rounds ive had to use pure lead as ive had trouble getting hold of tin to use in my mix. I got hold of about 15kg of wheel weights but then found they were all zinc. My rounds that have been made ive tried putting through a sizer but then decided not to as it sizes them to 3.12 also the gas checks dont seem to crimp on at all so ive just super glued them. When i seat the boolit in the shell i find that lead scrapes off the boolit because the neck is so tight.
my load is 13g red dot (i have little choice of powders here and this one is easily got) using lapua brass. I seat the boolits just enough that the grooves are covered but some of them seem to go in kind of squint i think because they are so tight.
These were so bad that they were missing the board at 25yds, One went in sideways.
any help appreciated
thanks
