I got my tax return so have been getting a little of this and alot of that etc...
I decided to go for a 2-cavity Lee 8mm 175 grainer and am glad I did. It's a great mold already with uniformity between cavities down to within 1/2 grain. the bases are flat and nice and grooves are all filled out. Hornady Gaschecks fit like a dream and the diameters of both are .327". My single cavity throws them out at .324" After doing those 1 at a time, it is amazing how fast 100 is to do. I just was going to try it out a little. I am looking forward to trying it out in my Yugo as soon as I get it cleaned up & put back together.
Later...OK, I'm back from sizing some of these thru a new .325" sizer I just got this week and they are sizing down alright. I was wondering if my caliper reading went south but now am sure of the size of the mold. It's a big one!
My single cavity throws them just right for the Turk Mauser and am hoping this one does the slightly larger M24 I just picked up last week.
