Any help would be greatly appreciated

Lee makes a couple 312 dia bullet molds in the 155 to 160 grain range would they work? There is a link at the top of the page.

:lovebooliThere is also the Lee 185 thats big enough .I shot a little cast in the draganov's ugly sister the the Romanian PSL using both the 155 and 185 with fair results using pulled 54R powder in the 30-34 gr range. 3-4 moa was about the best I got and I didnt persue it any further.You gotta have enough gas volume/pressure to work the action so fast powders are out.Theres a sticky in the military rifles section on cast and the M1A that would be helpful as a guide in developing loads.
