    8mm Version of 311365???

    Swede thinks he can do a version of the 311365 in 8mm with current tooling, any interest in a mould that drops a boolit that will size to .325?

    Boolit weight and shape seem like a natural for the 8mm; wouldn't hit NOE's schedule until about May or June.

    Pics of the current version:

    That is a great idea put me down for a 5 cavity 2PB 3GC with HP in one of the GC cavities.

    Sign me up! Especially if he can do two diameters. I have a 1904 Haenel 7.92x57 that a boolet that dropped at .321" would be perfect.

    101voodoo, graciously allowed me to be the honcho.

    I'll also sell 8mm GC's with it for those who want so you can save shipping.

    One diameter will be ran. If we do two dia we'll have to have seperate buy for it.

    I'll contact NOE and see how many we need for this to happen.

    Do we have a drawing/estimated weight of the 8mm version yet? Looking for a Boolit for Elk in my 8mm06.

    I just picked up a new M-48A Yugoslavian Mauser. I'm wondering if this mould or the 8mm SIL design in the Mihec group buy will work better?

    I love this design and have them for sizing to .310 and to .315. The down size is the 'fins' I get on the boolit noses. The fins scrape off with my finger nail but it is a pain in the rectum.
    It's the only boolit design that gives me this problem and I do have a lot of NOE moulds.
    I'll have to think for a while before ordering the 8mm version.
