8x72R For My Drilling
MG1890
Member Posts: 4,649
I have 5 cases for this. Bore slugs .318". I have 165gr lead bullets that are sized .323", which I feel is too big. Cannot find a .319" sizer.
Think I can load my cases using my 32-40 dies, backed off.
Don't want to lay out the $150+ for dies, or buy the Buffalo Arms stuff...
Ideas?

Jacketed bullets turn up on occasion.
If your cases fit the rifle your backed off dies should work fine.
I would be willing to make a few of each and give them to you so you could figure out what your rifle likes.
It is possible to roll bullets between steel plates to reduce their diameter, takes practice to get repeatable results.
Would love to try a few of the 165's @ .319".
PM sent![:)]
20 is great, and I don't even need gas checks. I'm just putting together a mild load for plinking. Lube is fine!
Now, what can I do for you????????????
I'm glad to help you out. I almost bought a drilling while I was stationed in Germany. 16x16 and 5.6x52R. Dad had Savage 99 in 22 Hi Power for while. Not all impressive when up against a 222 rem.
I'll PM you then, OK???
