Just wishfull thinking? I have the 30-180 sp and like it, cast the right size and shoots very well. Can anyone think of a reason that RCBS doesn"t make one for all of us 8mm mauser surplus rifle shooters

RCBS seems to want to limit the sizes they will produce, even the special order molds. SAECO still offers an 8mm mold in 190 gr. weight.Robert
They do offer a .323 FN stating 170 gr. But I bet it will drop heavier than that. Boolits I have from a .321 FN mould for the 32 spl. weigh in at 175 gr. bare WW/soft alloy.Not exactly what you want but should work well.

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
Did you see the 215grn for the 8mm mauser in the group buy section? Its what I'm going to feed my K98..... link
I've been having good luck with the two heavies from Midsouth (Max and Karabiner)-Lees, and the 185 lee with 2400 and Trail boss.

Take a look at BRP 8mm bullets at www.BRP.castpics.net Bruce offers 8mm molds in weights starting at 180 gr. , 200 gr. and 215 gr.Robert
I have the 32-170 for my 32 spl. sized at 323 shoots great out of my yugo m48. I also picked up yugo 2447,but haven't had a chance to try cast out of it yet, and if a yugo 98 comes along down the road I might be looking for a new mould. All the ones mentioned look pretty good. Thanks.
lyman makes a 170 gr boolit too that should do well if it'll pour big enough mine barely.barely just barely, makes 324.
Accurate molds has some great designs for your 7,92. AND in virtually any diameter your old warhorse may require.
