Got a few toys that I am going to start casting for but first I need to slug the barrels.
I need soft lead slugs for
6mm swede
9mm/.357
7.62 x54r (to Mosins with pretty worn barrels)
and 8mm mauser
I don't really need much more than 6 or so of each size.

try barrel fishing weights, or cast some pure lead bullets.

PM me your mailing address, and I'll send you a few of the old Hornady 90 gr. .314" swaged wadcutters, like this:

They're pure lead. The hollow base is nice, as it tends to center the rod you're using to drive them through the bore. Squashed a little, they'll be fat enough to slug your Mosins. A bit more, and they might do for your 8mm.
Sorry, I don't have the right stuff for 6/6.5 Swede, or 9mm, but the fishing sinker idea ought to work.
