Hi, all!
I just got around to trying out a mold I've had for about 15 years and never used. It's a Lee #90365, gas-checked .30 caliber roundnose that drops .309/.310 diameter bullets. Weight is 129/130 grains with my 20:1 wheelweight/bar solder alloy. I'm planning on working up a target or plinking load for my 1916 Spanish Guardia Civil carbine, probably sizing to .308".
I've also got a bolt action 7.62X39 built on a small-ring Mauser. This barrel has a .308 bore, not the .311 that a lot of the SKS type guns have, so I think this bullet might be OK for that one, too. My grandkids will be shooting both these guns. They're 9 and 11 years old. Got any suggestions for good midrange loads?
Thanks!
Jerry
