Gis some.
Seriously though you have reminded me of a project I started on I own a 8mm mauser that had been butchered before I rescued it. It as been drilled and tapped for scope mounts nothing to do with me I may add. Anyway I managed to find a set of mounts. The idea was to mount a scope and shoot cast boolits through it because the scope is so close with full house loads it trims your eye brows with every shot.
So I may have to cadge a few. I have a couple 8mm moulds so may be Ill trade you some. I also have some Buffalo arms custom expanders for 8mm and also some were a bunch of sizing dies and top punches for the Lyman lubrisizer.

I also have lots and lots of wheel weights bit of a dark horse aint I.

What are you's doing Sunday.

Looks like I'll be firing up my pots then if you want to come round.

[dromia]

Dave I've just started putting up some 8mm rounds for that Mod 24 Yugo I've got. 185 gn .325" GC Loverin over 24 gns N120.

Phwoarrr!

So how do you keep the temp up and steady when pouring 6? I failed miserably trying to pour 2!

Sort me out some wheelweights and i'll sort you out some boolits Dave.

Adam, what are you doing next Sunday? Any chance of a session using your kit? I don't fancy my chances of success with my wee Lee pot.

N120 isnt that a pistol powder Adam.

[dromia]

Vihtavuori N120.

Slow pistol powder/fast rifle powder around Reloader 7 in burning rate. One of my favourite cast boolit loads alongside Vihtavuori N110 which is just a tad faster nearer 2400 in burning rate.

Just shot a few plinking loads in the Yugo at 25yrds tonight with 5 gns N310, one ragged hole as they say, cheap and fun.

I've got a lightweight 140gn 8mm loverin boolit mould on order, it should be the bees knees for this light load.
