1944 K98 DOT Mauser

I like the Lee mold.

I use the NOE 325-220-SP-P2, https://noebulletmolds.com/site/325-216-sp-325365/, was formerly known as the 323365 when the group buy happened; powder coated and sized 0.325". I use 80% of a jacketed load of IMR4895 behind it, very pleased with it out of a 1942 byf.

I have had one of the 98-22 long rifles that I could break eggs with at 30 or 40 yards with the Lee 175gr boolit over a charge of Herco. I have had a few of the vz24 rifles that I didn't take time to shoot properly. I had one of the 98 K rifles with the stamped metal and laminated stock, also under appreciated by me. Those are , regrettably, all sold or traded off. But on a brighter note, I have two of the old turks still, not 98's but 93 actions, and they seem to like the lee mold just fine. I have also played with the Lee Karabiner boolit which is okay but not better than the 175 gr Lee design and they use more lead.
