A few months ago I tried sizing the 8mm Max through a Lee .314 push through sizer. Not too bad, but as I had water dropped them, I found that tumble lubing was a must. Still too small for my .303, but shoot decent out of the 91/30.

Yes, A.M. no. 32-220B is a clone (or very nearly so) of Lyman 323471. What disqualifies it as a 'perfect' clone is its flat nose. The gas check shank is cut to fit 8mm gas checks. My thinking is a too small .30 caliber dia. g'check would not be sufficient to prevent gas blowby. As an "let's see what if" I had no noticible difficulty sizing to .315".
I wished for an Australian made diopter back-sight for my Lithgow. One to compliment the other. Just could not co-ordinate finances with e-b*y listings. Luck was with me when the PH5A was incorrectly listed. Like new.

Accurate Molds For qiuck service and a quality mold . I got a 31-L mold in brass in 8 days. Not weeks or months. Tom is a great guy to boot!
I agree, got my 312230E in 3 days! All measurements were spot on. Now if I'd just get a warm day so I could go shoot of them!

I have used Lyman 311365 in my brit it is an older design but has the FMJ Profile you are looking for keep an eye out for one...
Why don't we get a mold made for the 303 like most other rifles/calibres?. Pat
The mold I found in my stash has the number 31141 on it as well as 1 of 62.
It casts a boolit that weighs 185+-,and I have beenable to get it sized down to 314 and still have good sized lube grooves.
Tomorrow I will go and shoot these with some new Remington brass loaded with some 2400.
I am looking at some other molds that might be better for this rifle,Thanks for the Ideas.
