Hi, I just bought a Husqvarna Model 96 Mauser rifle in 9,3x57
I'd like to cast and shoot lead bullets in this nice old gun, the Lyman 336408
mould is what I need but it's out of production.
Where can I get a mould like the 366408? I imagine it would have to be a custom job, and I'd like nose-pour too.
Any suggestions as to a supplier?
Mike

IIRC, they make 260gr without a gas check, and a 300 something gr with a gas check. That's off the top of my head from a search I did many years ago and may not be valid today. I'm not sure of the price of their moulds but who cares? It's for a hobby right?

Also, I would follow some of the auction sites and you might find the Lyman mould you're looking for. From time to time I have seen them up for sale. The 9.3 is still pretty esoteric.
