    Ditto all the recommendations for the NOE mould. Check to see if any are still left from the last group buy, or see if there is a re-run started in group buys.

    A few months ago I tried sizing the 8mm Max through a Lee .314 push through sizer. Not too bad, but as I had water dropped them, I found that tumble lubing was a must. Still too small for my .303, but shoot decent out of the 91/30.

    Al has 2 cavity 316299's in stock.

    adrians,

    Yes, A.M. no. 32-220B is a clone (or very nearly so) of Lyman 323471. What disqualifies it as a 'perfect' clone is its flat nose. The gas check shank is cut to fit 8mm gas checks. My thinking is a too small .30 caliber dia. g'check would not be sufficient to prevent gas blowby. As an "let's see what if" I had no noticible difficulty sizing to .315".

    I wished for an Australian made diopter back-sight for my Lithgow. One to compliment the other. Just could not co-ordinate finances with e-b*y listings. Luck was with me when the PH5A was incorrectly listed. Like new.

    I agree, got my 312230E in 3 days! All measurements were spot on. Now if I'd just get a warm day so I could go shoot of them!

    Why don't we get a mold made for the 303 like most other rifles/calibres?. Pat

    The mold I found in my stash has the number 31141 on it as well as 1 of 62.
    It casts a boolit that weighs 185+-,and I have beenable to get it sized down to 314 and still have good sized lube grooves.
    Tomorrow I will go and shoot these with some new Remington brass loaded with some 2400.
    I am looking at some other molds that might be better for this rifle,Thanks for the Ideas.
