    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.
    Regards, Jim

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    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 Kragicon, 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 Kragicon, some for 30 cal and my Husky model 1600 in .30 cal.
