K43 , I shoot the Lee bullet C329-205-1R at .330 dia. gc sized w/Alox and used AA5744 @ 16.0 gr. Now I'm using Lovex D060 instead and no difference. I used both Berdan reprimed and Boxer PPU...

SoonerEd ,
Thats where I'm at exactly.

Shooters World Buffalo Rifle aka Lovex D0 060 ? looks to be out of stock everywhere. Wonder why ? Also , literally been years since I've seen H4895 anywhere , any thoughts ?

I've been wondering for along time if somebody was going to apply that powder to those two cartridges . I'm interested because I've got both and enjoy shooting them. Well , the Krag at least ....

Looks alot like the Lee Cruise Missle

Retired prototype toolmaker that did machining in my uncles custom gun build shop. Posted here several time to no avail. Somebody send me a drawing , please.

I never crimped anything at all until I began casting ~2014 ? so ,I tried crimping some of my jacketed milsurp stuff and it shot better , tighter groups. Crimping is a way to even out all the...

Obviously a mismatch in sizes. FWIW I have a Krag 6.5x55 , I had two . I shoot #266469 thru it and all my Swedih stuff too. I'm comptemplating a gas check maker , but currently use Hornady GC when...

I bought a few thousand because I had nothing left. The LR have been going into all my high power stuff , be it hunting or boolit ammunition. Seem to be good stuff. I don't own anything accurate...

fjrdoc , I saw your post and I've got a 9.5x57 MS rifle . For use as a hunting rifle , I settled on Speer 235gr.375 Semi spitzer . I believe index # is #2740 ? I've shot many powders and settled on...

I've shot C312-185-1R ,#311284 with 22.5gr Buffalo Rifle -or-28.0gr? H4895 in all my Mosins. I did not slug bores but sizes all boolits .311" dia. ACWW ,Hornady GC & Lee push thru .
Jacketed go to...

I used to shoot 8x56R alot , jacketed and cast. I don't anymore due to balance/ear issues. I never slugged the bore , just ordered the LeeC329-205-1R and poured ACWW then gas check them with regular...

opposite for me , finding it nearly same as A5744 . Glad I got it when I could

I am a retired toolmaker and may be able to help you folks . Perhaps someone here can come up with a generic drawing or a sample ???

Contact me with print , thankyou

FWIW I tried the #311414 and its shooting really well.

Adam Helmer , I usually size to .311 dai. do you think that O/S is detremental ?

Garandsrus , I just came up with a #311413 , out of my uncles basement. He had a #311397 but I can't find it. Going to run 22.5 gr. Buffalo Rifle . I see you're in Warren , I'm in Clawson ,

Going to look around for this one. Seems like a good application.

Anybody care to remark on what boolits they're happy with out of the K31 ? My shooting is entirely with issue irons and restricted to 200 yds. if that helps. I'm currently using C312-185-1R sizes to...

I'm still working on my 2004 stash of 10k , now down to 7k? Use them both cast and jacketed for GP11 , 6.5x55 Swede brass and 8x56R . Wish I'd saved my 8x57 brass

Squarely seated checks are my preference. I confess to manipulating them into "square" position before they go thru die. In my case , everything is through sized so I like to get them on squarely.

I'm loading the previously mentioned cartridges with cast and exclusively with Shooter's World Buffalo rifle / Lovex DO60 . If you can get some , you'll like it

FWIW when I was shooting handloads in my Mosins (mostly M44s) I started with .308"bullets and they shot as good as .312" bullets did , both Hornady 150 gr. sptzers over 50.0gr. IMR 4350 . Granted...

+1 on what Rich/WIS says. I marked my sight for GP11 ball and then drifted the blade to track for cast , shift 6"@100yds. was.04" and the blade nearly out of the dovetail to the right , but , it shot
