Midsouth special order Lee Mauser molds

[kens]

I just recieved the 7mm Soupcan 6 cavity, and 8mm Karibiner.

The 7mm Soupcan drops boolits out fast & easy, nearly no culls at all.
dia. 286/287 and 133 grs of WW

The 8mm Kar drops .327 on driving bands, .321 on nose, .325 on nose band; 238grs of WW
This mold casts slow because the mold stays hot and there is wait time to drop the boolits.
But they are round, consistant, and drop from the mold.

Funny that the Midsouth 8mm Kar is listed as 215 grain and 1.100" oal, this mold is 1.303" oal and 238gr.
This more resembles the 8mm Maximum.

You should see the actual 8mm Max from them, and I had a Karabiner that dropped like yours but not as long. My Max drops .329" and 255gr, but great for my 8mm Lebel that needs a larger than usual 8mm(.327"). It is pretty far off from what they say it should be. I also like it because the cartridge lifter doesn't fling it right out of the receiver like light weight bullets.

I just did a short session with the Lee 6.5mm Swede mold.
175gr WW
.262 on the nose, .270 on the driving bands
1.255 OAL
WOW!!!! this sure is a lonnggggg boolit.

Has anybody tried these?
this is not the oversize .269 nose mold.
