    The CB on the right is a NOE/ C.E. Harris bullet @ .316" and ~ 162gr. The left hand one is a Lee bullet for the 8mm Mauser, which I forced through a Lee sizer to ~.316" (better to do this in a regular lube sizer, if you can) and weighs ~ 177gr. It is more accurate than the NOE/Harris CB, but it is a PITA to resize (GC included). No crimp is applied to my CB loads for the SKS.

    Please tell me this thread isn't dead. Was looking forward to some more real-world results to study. Satisfied with my own, just looking out of academic interest.

    The 2nd amendment was never intended to allow private citizens to 'keep and bear arms.' If it had, there would have been wording such as 'the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. -Ken Konecki, July 27, 1992

    Still alive! The local range has been closed down forever after heavy rains wrecked the berms. Just sent off my membership application to a club so should have some test results soon.
