Have owned the m38 as well as several 91/30's.
Now own Finnish rifles.
But what these rifles seem to like as far as loads were unique and the 314299.
The lee 312185 sized to .312 and powder coated...

My best load in my M1 is 34 grains of I4895. But that is pretty much unobtainium right now unless you find it at a show.
I have used 32 grains of 3031 and the 291 but had chambering issues...

That rifle was a joy to shoot! I am glad you are having fun with it.
When I first got the TD I went to the Lyman cast bullet hand book and picked out a load of 34 grains of imr 3031. Using the Lee...

My son ordered a mold from Tom on the 15th and received it today. We needed this mold to get his Swiss/ martini stutzer up and running for the November 18th deer opener.
He ordered two different...

The worst thing about lee alox is that it gums up the seating die. ever seat a bullet only to have it stick in the die and leave the gas check in the case neck?
Pc for me, each to their own.

Thanks for the feedback gents.
I do have the rcbs 145 sil but it casts at .285 and I pc which gives me a .287 diameter.
It shoots ok but not great. I have several of the ideal moulds and they all...

Thanks 405
I have the 3rd and 4th editions. I was just wondering if anyone shoots this boolit.
I have never seen or heard of this mould before and was happy to get it.
The little lee 130 grainer...

I was able to finally buy a 7mm mould on eBay for my Chilean mauser.
It is a pointed Spitzer type weighing around 148 grains. I wonder if the Lyman cast bullet hand book first or second edition...

Thank you sir!

I do. Shoots excellent in several Swiss rifles and my springfields.
I use 7.5 grains of red dot or 6.8 grains of bullseye.
I powder coat with Eastwood ford light blue and run up through the noe...

I don't think he is. If you look at the 6.5 moulds you will see several designs at .270 diameter

I have been shooting my M1 for about 5 years now. 1.5"-2" groups are average with its pet load.

Thanks and yes I did. It's easy to put on and worth it.

I shoot a k31 also. I put the Swiss products sight setup on it.
Had the rifle out yesterday at 100 yards. Noe plain base loads with 7.5 grains of 700x

If that's the lee cruise missile, I would move on to the Lyman 266673 150 grain moulds or one of the excellent Noe 6.5 moulds.
That cruise missile is probably the worst 6.5 bullet you never want to...

Same here, ordered the Eagan mould from Noe on Thursday and was here monday. Cast at .312 instead of the stated .310
I really like that, I can powder coat up for my larger30 calibers or size down....

I swore I would never buy another Lyman mould. But needed a mould for my 6.5 rifles.

So..I took a chance and ordered the 266469 and 266673 Last spring. Both drop at .267
I powder coat to .269 ...

16-2400
14- blue dot
13- unique
13- green dot
For plain base loads which I...

I shoot 4 6.5 rifles. If you can buy the Lyman 266673 mould. It drops at .267-.268
I use the noe sizing system with a .267 bushing and apply the gas check. Then powder coat with Eastwood ford light...

Last year I was doing the same thing. Bought a 1950 waffle top rifle in 35 Remington.
Imashooter sent me up several hundred boolits to try and although I have the lee six cavity mold I will be...

Here's a 100 yard group I shot with my type38 using Sr 4756 and Lyman 266673 powder coated. After pc the boolit is .269 diameter. Larry is right, slow it down and it will shoot.
10 grains of green...
