First post here, so first off hello to all!
I've recently started reloading cast bullets in my .357 that I buy from a member of my local club, and after shooting them and seeing the money that I'm saving by doing it I'm looking to try and do it across more calibres. I'm heading over to the US in a couple of weeks so I was hoping to pick up some kit while I was there. What I'm hoping to do is try and cover as many calibres as possible with as few moulds. The calibres I'm looking to cast for are .303 British, 7.62x39, 7.62x54R, and 7.5x55.
I shoot outdoors generally to a maximum of 200 yds, but I would be interested in making up a load that can be used on my indoor range with a lower energy output for the Lee Enfield most likely.
I'm going to be slugging the barrels later this week to find their exact dimensions, but from what I've been reading these moulds, speculatively, cover all the bases?
C312-185-1R - .303 British, 7.62x54R,
TL312-160-2R - 7.62x39, .303 British, 7.62x54R
C309-180-R - 7.5x55
C309-113-F - Indoors .303 British
I'm not, currently, going to shell out for a lubersizer, so could all of these be happily tumble lubed?
My apologies if they're daft questions!
