I am a HUGE fan of Lyman's M-Dies. I haven't collected the whole set...yet....but have them in most of the calibers for which I use cast projectiles. Still possible to over flare but, set up properly, leaves a nice 'cup' in which to place the bullet and seats without shaving any lead. I can't give a...

Well huh. That link doesn't work for me either. Here's (hopefully) another way to get to it => https://imrpowder.com/resources/data-sheets/<br /><br />The data sheet you want is about half way down the page under "Reduced Rifle Loads".<br /><br />Doesn't change any of the above information...

Thank you for your thoughts. This particular project is a bit out in front as there are a few others on the bench. I think butlersrangers suggestion is a dandy: 'Leave the metal bits alone, build the sporter, search for the replacement military bits and another previously molested Krag.' Best of bot...

I'll post this in the Sporter category but my question somewhat straddles the line. Either way, it seems like folks here happily spend time in all areas.<br /><br />The back story: A few years back, I fell in lust with a friend's sporter Krag. Absolutely marvelous rendition of the breed and I was ta...
