View Full Version : Mold for odd-ball caliber (9x47r Schuetzen)

I have an old Schuetzen rifle with a slugged bore size of .350/.352 tapered to .348. This taper may be from wear, but also may be designed, since tapered bores were popular when this rifle was made. The problem is finding a mold that will throw a .352/.350, 200 to 225 grain bullet, preferably two lube grooves, or one large one. Has anyone seen such a thing? No current manufacturers have that design (that I have found), although Lyman/Ideal used to have one that is close. Part of the problem is not wanting to pay for a custom mold yet, especially since I am still trying to determine whether the barrel is shootable, and I can't make that determination until I find the proper bullet.

Any help?

The 350-225 group buy mold might be something to look at. You might not want the gas check, but that could be taken care of with a quick trip to the machine shop.
