I just picked up a pair of K31's, and I will be buying a set of Lee dies sometime in the next couple of days. I would like some advice on molds and powder.
I have been doing some reading on the K31, and based on what I have read, it seems I will need a boolit mold that casts a skinny nose, due to the short throat of the rifle. I have read about several people having success with the Lee 309-xxx style molds, but I am unsure of which one to select. It seems that the longer/heavier ones will stick down past the case neck into the case itself. Is this a problem, or is it a safe bet to choose one of the heavier ones?
In terms of powder, I plan on buying some H-4831 for my M39. Would this powder work well in the K31 as well, or should I purchase a different powder for the K31?
Sorry for the vague questions, but I am being as specific as I really can, given my limited knowledge at this point. Thanks for any help.
