45 ACP and 9mm, and this is the first time that something just absolutely hasn't fit fairly right.Ĭome to think of it now, the same situation happened this fall on a peep-sighted M48A 8x57mm that I was using in ID to hunt muleys with. It's a puzzling situation, as it's the first time that something fundamental in reloading has "gone wrong," if in fact that's what's happened. I should be back this weekend and barring bad weather will test the stuff then and then get back on here. I've been back in Chicago to finish up some business before I go in the Army, and my rifle and all my stuff is back at my folks' place in Colorado. Guys, I feel bad for not posting back before this to let you know what I'm doing with this thing. I really like the rifle and want to hunt with it, but not if I have to have Herculean strength to chamber a round. But this apparatus is yielding an OAL that is OBVIOUSLY way short of the lands when finally loaded. Lee doesn't make a neck-sizer die for 8x57mm that I'm aware of.ī) I bought a Stony Point OAL gauge with a 8x57mm case to help get the bullet close to the lands. I've even tried cranking the re-sizing die clear down way past where I should, hoping that it will size the case down small enough to chamber easily. I've been using a Lee full-length sizer die, and a Lee trimmer to trim the cases. It seems that the brass just doesn't fit the chamber. Two main problems are cropping up:Ī) Whenever I chamber one of my reloads, I have to practically bang down the bolt with a hammer to get the bolt all the way down.

Now I've been reloading that S&B brass and am having a heck of a time. All of the S&B ammo loaded and extracted just fine. I broke it in with S&B factory FMJ and got a bunch of good groups with it. I have a pretty accurate (with factory FMJ) Yugo Mauser 48A that I put a scope on.
