After a lot of reading on different forums I am still faced with a question.
Here is my quandry:
My 2 Mosins both slugged at .3105 - .311.
I have ordered the Lee .312 155gr mold.
I will be installing gas checks made on a Freechex II so I plan to use a Lee sizer to install the gas checks.
The question is should I get the .311 sizer or the .314 sizer?
If I weren't installing gas checks it wouldn't be a problem since I could probably shoot them as cast, don't you think?
If the bullets drop small I could beagle the mold and get the diameter of the bullet up but I would have to be careful to not increase the shank size so the gas checks still fit.
If they drop over .312 it shouldn't be a problem. It is just a question of which sizer to buy for the time being.
My mold will be here tomorrow and I will cast some bullets next weekend. I just need to know which way to go on the sizer.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
