makarov boolits

[Echo]

I just purchased a CZ82 in 9mm Mak, and wonder what boolit molds are liked for that round. The factory FJ bullet weighs 93 grs, and I was thinking about polishing out a Lee 105-gr SWC 2-banger to .360, as needed by the Mak, but would like recommendations.

I think you'll need to open up that mould past .360" most all 9mm makarovs need something .365 or bigger in cast .

I need help!

I load for Makarov, love all phases of casting, reloading and shooting it. It’s all easy. I recommend you get a mold just for it, unless you have experience beagling. Lee has a two cavity mold, 365-95-1R. I went overboard and bought a Mihec mold, but there are others.

That's what I use -- work well

The Lee 365-95-1R works well. I also have the NOE SC367-102-RF i believe it is. That works great in German Mak and P64. It didn’t feed well in P83 until doing some feed ramp work. I size these .366

I also have used the Lee 95 grn with great success in my Polish P64 and my Bulgarian Makarov i also haves Lyman 2 cavity 95 grn I size my bullets two .363 no leading

[poppy42]

My Makarov will shoot the Lee bullets as dropped but the P64 requires the bullets sized to .363 to feed. Although the Mak shoots as dropped from the mold I get better accuracy with .363 so that’s what i do. Great guns!

Thanks to all!! I'll get the Lee mold, and continue on!

I use the Lee Makarov mold also. I've shot many hundreds of them in an EG Makarov and a CZ82. I size to .365 and powder coat them; they shoot great!

[leadhead]

What about the polygonal bore on the CZ82? They say not to shoot cast in them.
I shoot cast in mine with no problems....just clean often.

I started converting 9MM Luger brass at first, then Starline came out with Makarov brass!

[Echo]

With reloadable ammo from J&G for $15/box, it's hard to go to Starline! What do they charge, anyway? I checked, and ordered 500...

Lee mould,,, powder coat. .366 ish, barrel won't know the difference. No leading with PC.
