    8x57

    I've just bought a nice k98 and wanted to know has anyone used lee's molds in one. They have two sizes and weights so which one the best. Any thoughts Pat.

    Lee's 175 gr. is very accurate for me in a German K98k and a Yugo 1948.

    I can vouch for what Bill said, for a cheapo as Lee's moulds are and how the bullets are all basically the same except for different diameters and weights, they sure shoot good and that 175 like Bill said, shoot way too good in my Yugo 48B.

    Yep, a nice heavy bullet in that 8mm, and you are good for most anything walking the north American continent
