Cast boolits for Mosin M44

[Westwindmike]

I tried shooting some of my .312 cast boolits in my Mosin and it shoots like a shotgun! I slugged the barrel and found out why. It slugged at .3145!

Does anybody here cast a "fat .30" that comes out about .315-.316? If so, maybe I could trade you some other caliber for a few. I hate to go back to shooting jacketed in it, or to go back to shooting military surplus that kicks like a mule. LOL.

Just let me know if you can help me out with this.

Thanks.

The early version of 7.92x57 (8mm Mauser) I think had .318 bore. Bullets from mold for that ought to size down nicely.

Thanks Dave Shooter.

Do you have that mold or some boolits cast from it?

i use an 8mm mould and just size it down or i use a 7.7 jap mould or 303 b and bump it up btw i just bought a master caster the one with the pull handel on the side 1000 45 230 in less than 1 hour

Sorry, I do not.

Hey Mike not to go too far off rail but what size slug were you using to slug the barrel & do you have a couple more.

I have 4 Moisns that I would like to slug.

[Westwindmike]

I use a .375 pure lead round ball to slug with. The excess just becomes a donut on the muzzle and falls off.

Do you have a few extra to shed??

[Westwindmike]

Sure do. Just tell me how to get them to you.
