Agreed Rick, I use 150 Hornady FMJ and they don't give me much room to seat forward. Wish I could. I may just change to a 180, 200 or 220 Rd nose cast. Which ever one gives me the longest straight side like the old 220s.

Then I'd recommend a NOE bullet mold. They make some of their molds a bit larger. For instance, I have one of their 311284 molds, bullets drop with a .302 borerider, perfect as most Krags have a .301 bore. Lyman molds tend to run undersize in this dimension. Even more appealing to me is the 314 & 316299 and other larger sized molds they have. If bullet fit is the most important thing when shooting cast, Swede makes it a bit easier to get the fit you need. I got one of their 316155 FN molds sometime ago, even though it weighs only 155gr, it has a fat nose that really fills the throat of a Krag, though loaded to an OAL of only 2.87" Most light bullets have to be seated out long to meet the rifling of a Krag, not this one. Swede has this mold on sale at the moment. I have other NOE molds of the .316 size too, I have some other rifles with worn bores, like a Mosin that slugs .316

That's all good info. I'll get hold of them later...I like the 4 cavity 212 gr GC bullet mould.

I ordered my 311284 with a hollow point pin installed in one of the cavities. The bullet sure makes a big hole in the red clay backstop where I shoot. Haven't shot anything alive with it to see what it does, appears it might be a bit messy with the hollowpoint though.

Mine will be mostly for Krag, some for 30 cal and my Husky model 1600 in .30 cal.
