Does anyone know what dia bullet the 215 gr Lee 8mm KAR mould casts.
Im going to try paperpatching my siamese mauser to a final dia of .328 and a .323 mould would be perfect with the paper I'm using
thanks

I found out. It seems to be about 328-329
That is what mine drops.

I was hoping to get a mould of about that shape in 323 but I guess I'll try sizing some down.
my Maximum mould drops at .325"
Mine drops at 236 gns and unsized .326"

that wold be better so I wont have to size them so much
Semtav,
.326" and 236 gn is with straight wheel weights. I purchased my mold in 2010-11. I understand that there are slight variations on the design from it's first production. Different alloys will drop at different diameters. You might look into that to get the dimension you desire.
I hope this helps,
