I am in need of a mold recomendation

[milsurpaddict]

Hello

I am looking for any suggestions of molds for my 1895 Chilean Mauser. I have done a lot of research but all the recommendations had more negatives than positives.

Thanks in advance

I think you'd be wise to measure your throat and bore .

Hard for us to give a recommendation on something as general as you've offered at this point in time.

[milsurpaddict]

Fair enough. I will do that and get back to you.

Thanks

Many 7mms are seriously oversized, this can be a huge issue. Mine does very well
with 175 RN Hornady jbullets. So far, I have not tried boolits it that particular rifle.

Hello

I slugged the bore it slugged out at .297. I am going to try MOLD DC C285-130-R. I know it is much smaller but if I can get the mold to drop oversize and not size it. If anyone has another recommendation I would love to hear it.

THanks

297.???
you'll maybe,maybe get 287 from that mold with lino-type.
you'd have to wrap paper around it to get close to 297.

I hope it is .287, which is a normal, fairly oversized 7mm Mauser bore diam.

Hope that helps, man!
