Hello,
I've been thinking about casting for my favorite Mosin-Nagant for a while.
I will want to run the original full-power load. I think I can do this without leading; or if I do get leading, I can use gas checks.
This Mosin slugs to 0.309, coning down toward the muzzle. I'm thinking a 0.311 mold? Or would you go 0.312 since it's larger near the chamber end?
What I would like to find is a 212grn round nose bullet mold that has the lube grooves near the base so that I can keep them in the case neck. I'm just not a fan of exposed lube grooves.
I might also tumble lube in Alox, sort of double up, if needed.
My goal load will send a 212grn bullet at about 2100fps.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Josh
