    8mm cast bullet suggestions?? And sizer.

    Just trying to get started casting for my two K98K’s and maybe G43. Was wondering what is being used out there and how they perform? I’ve seen the Lee 8mm Karabiner 215 Grain Double Cavity Reproduction Mold out there. Anybody use it? Also, what would be best guess at sizer die to get? .324”?

    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.

    Have you slugged your bores yet? That would help you to get the size dies one bigger...so they swage fit.
