Bret4207,
Yes I like the 8's The one in question for that large sizing die Is a JP Sauer Und Sohn 1939 98 With a well abused bore That I spent the winter of 2014 fire lapping. With a beagled mold and that Die I have got it to shoot pretty decent. Recently I tested some sized down .338 bullets and now I'm very happy with it! It came back to life!

I went the same basic route with my 8X56R. I have both the Lee .329 and .338 moulds, but once I got my NEI 330-245 I stopped messing about trying to make things work that were wrong from the start. The NEI drops around .332 in my alloy and fits like a glove sized and checked at .331. It's never failed to stop a charging rock and will penetrate both sides of a sheet of paper or even cardboard at any reasonable range!

BOTH sides of cardboard! Wow! :):):):)

I need to get that gun up and running, but SO many other projects are higher on the totem pole.

Like a house addition as #1.

Redid our kitchen last summer. My knees still ache and I can't stand straight. "Sucked" just doesn't do it justice.

I have built several houses, but not going to do this one. I will actually hire a contractor
and just tell him what to do...... very strange for me.
