    quick question

    Dear All
    would it be worth trying to PP a 312 lee boolit w grease groves to shoot out of a 323 (8MM) barrel?
    and/or
    What would be more professional way of shooting PP out of an 8mm?

    Thanks

    you're gonna have .011 to make up with paper. 16# paper might be a good choice @ .0032" thick


    .011" needed to make up
    #16 paper at .0032 x 2 wraps =.0128"

    What kind of 8mm rifle you shooting?

    That will work fine. Two wraps of green bar computer paper, lube with whatever is handy, and push it through a .324 die and go shooting. If your alloy is BNH 14.5 to 15.5 you will be able to work up to full power loads. This alloy works great to about 3000 and makes a great hunting bullet.
