I have the Lee .329 mold for this caliber, and thought I'd see if anyone had some experience with it. I slugged my bore at .3315, and realize that I'll need to either lap or "beagle" the mold. What diameter should I aim for with this mold, .001" over bore?
My thought was to use heat treated linotype boolits, and work up some loads that are just light enough to not need gas checks, because I'd rather just pan lube and not mess with an oddball diameter sizer and buy gas checks. Any idea how this might work out?
I understand that with gas checks and hard lead, I could get a pretty much full power load, but this rifle kicks so bad with full loads I'd just as soon shoot reduced loads anyway.
