Post subject:  Casting boolets
I needed boolets for my new Greek Mannlicher & told Ellie I'd make her some fresh 8x56R ammo... I use the same .329" bullet for my Kropatschek so I made a bunch.

It had been a while since I cast but I remembered everything... except you really should wear socks when casting! :-o :lol :lol I'm better now. ;)

I hand lube by gently melting SAECO NRA formula lube on the stove and dipping the grooves into the melted lube. I use a small cast iron frying pan sold at tractor supply stores as a novelty ash tray.

Then comes running the lubed boolet through a Lee sizer after adding a gas check. Ready for loading! As soon as there's a little time. I ordered primed 6.5x54 brass from Grafs & will load a bunch when it gets in. SW

Nothing like home cooking.
Those look well formed with no frosting.
Are you using steel or aluminum moulds?

Both are Lee molds. But only single cavity. Takes 4 evah to cast a pile.

Mario, powder is still available locally in fact I bought a couple pounds at the local gun shoppe this past afternoon. A decent selection except for the more common IMR stuff. He had both kinds I wanted. He also had primers but will only sell to cover the bullets you buy. Seems like a fair system to me. Actually I loaded up on primers just before the madness started. SW

The lubed 6,5 boolets are around 170 grains. The other is Lee's standard 205 grainer for 8x50 & 56R... and 8x60R Kropatschek. I run it through a .323 sizer for 8mm Mouser, too. SW

Stevesie, what mold are you using for the 6,5 MS? I don't see them list anything smaller than .285. Or was this the special run one you use for the Carcanii? Does the MS have a .268 bore dia?

Post subject:  Re: Casting boolets
This was a limited run made specifically for the 6,5 M-S. Some reloading group ordered a gaggle, and a friend put me onto the mold for use in Carcano ammo.

Might be a long shot, but a call to Lee might get you one.

The Greek is a worn .264". The oversized .268 works great for a good gas seal & accuracy. SW
