7mm Round Nose Mould

[Ben]

I like this mould more and more every day.
Easy on my lead supplies and super accurate.

My grandson shooting these out of my Mauser 1909 Argentine sporter 7X57 mm :

Ruger No1 in 7x57... Wouldn’t mind having one of my own
Nice shooting, Ben! I fully understand why you like that bullet!

 

[JustJim]

Nice shooting! Extrapolated out to 100 yards, that group is equal to the best that I ever got out of any of the M77s I've had over the years.

 

[Ben]

I didn't post the target , but I've shot that load at 100 yards, easy to get that load into 1" at 100 yds.

Dang it Ben! You and your bullet porn and those little groups!

It keeps me off the streets..........

I agree it’s a great bullet for 7x57 with a light charge of pistol/shotgun powder. My M70 FWT prefers 8 grains of Red Dot. Sized .285 with Ben’s Red and a gas check. This load will generally shoot
1 1/4 to 1 1 /2 MOA with mixed brass and any rifle or pistol primer.

I just finished with some '448's. Lubed and rolled in BLL , sized .2863", Hornady gas checks.

Do you ever use just BLL, or do you always lube with lubersizer lube plus BLL, With low node loads.

 

[Ben]

Lubersizer lube plus BLL.
Offers me zero leading in all of my rifles.

I've answered your question, but I don't mean to imply that a coat or two of BLL wouldn't do just as well.

[STIHL]

For the ignorant, but learning, what is BLL?

Ben's liquid lube . There's the old recipe here with the new recipe having Johnson's liquid floor wax discontinued several years ago .

It's used like Lee alox but dries non sticky .
