I didn't know Walt did brass molds, but that it what this appears to be. If the mold drops +.002" over listed diameter like my other NEI molds this ought to be perfect for my 8x56R Steyr carbine.

GOOD SCORE. Nice mould and plain base to boot. I am sold on the brass moulds from CBE.

Nice John! Wrap them bullets up in paper and feed your favorite 338 too.

How did you know I shoot cast in my 338?[smilie=l:

I have a couple 338 molds that seem to work fine. Until I can find a mold for my 9.3x57 I was thinking of paper patching 358627 or 358318 bullets., but I just havent taken the plunge (yet).

Loaded up the pot and cast a batch of really nice looking bullets. They measure .334" in diameter. Then I weigh them and they were only 198 grains. That's when I figured I loaded the pot with linotype rather than wheelweights.:veryconfu

Should be a pefect bullet for the .330" bore of my M95 carbine.

I would start nice and slow. With a PB and the deep grooves on the 95 you have a perfect chance for blow by.
