Hi to all,
I'm brand new to this forum, but not to reloading have over 45 years experience in most reloading situations
I recently aquired a Herters 8MM 176 gr GC Spitzer mold to use in my K98, I slugged the barrel and have .312 - .313 on the lands, and .323 - .324 on the grooves, out of the mold the bullet diameters are running .330
Questions:
1) What would be an ideal sizing die for this bore using gas checks.
2) Would the Lee push thru dies work OK (since I'm unable to locate a top punch for a 8MM spitzer, I did triy a 30 cal punch but it left a large ring around the tip)
Any suggestions would be appreciated........nice forum !!
