Thanks AzRednek, I did place a post on the Castboolits link. Thanks again, Mike

Thanks AzRednek, I looked at the link. These molds look like what I need. I'll look at the Lee handles also. Thanks again, Mike

Can anyone recommend a .224 and .264 cast mold? I need something close to 55 grains. I would like to use these in a 222, 223, 22-250 and 6.5x55 (140 - 160 grain). I don't think Lee makes molds for these calibers. Any suggestions appreciated. Mike

Thanks for your reply. Mike

Thanks for your reply. Mike

Finally got around to building a 22-250 on an 98 action. Took the rifle to the range today to shoot five round groups to find a good load. After shooting the first group, I got to wondering if I should clean the barrel before shooting the next group of five. I did not clean between the five groups and the best I could get was 7/8 inch at 100 yards. I need to bed the stock and get a good trigger before I go any further. Finally, my question is this; How often do you clean your barrel when trying to develop a load? Thanks, Mike

Thanks for your replay. Mike

I have a Lee 160 grain 309 cast round nose bullet mold and was wondering if anyone uses a round nose cast bullet in a Wind 94? I didn't want to buy another mold.

I appreciate your reply. Mike

I'll give the screws a try. I was planning on using the NODAK SPUD LLC (NDS-65) reeciver. Thanks for your reply. Mike

Anyone out there built a AMD65 using screws? I don't have a press to remove the barrel so I drilled out the rivets in the trunion. I was planning to tap the holes and use screws to attach the receiver. Anyone have any suggestions or comments on using scews. Mike

Thanks for the replies. After alittle research I purchased a Tantal from Atlantic Arms. I've had the rifle to the range a couple of times, learning the weapon and sighting in. Even with my old eyes I can still hit water bottles at a 100 yards and thats good enough for me. I'm very pleased with the rifle and would recommend it to anyone wanting a accurate and fun rifle. Mike

Sorry THOR, I don't have anything for the Texan press. I do go to yard sales and flee markets and sometime see different presses. I'll keep you in mind and contact you if I find anything. Mike

Thanks to everyone who replied.

I have everything I need to build a 22-250 using a 98 Mauser action but seems like I read awhile back that they may be problems with the magazine. If so what do I do about that and will I have other problems with the 22-250 round?

I've been thinking about buying a Polish Tantal 5.45x39 from Center fire systems. Anyone have any experience with these?

Makes sense, I'll give it a try. Thanks, Mike

How do you glass bed an action with no recoil lug? Like the Romanian 22 trainer, which has no recoil lug or recoil surface that I can see. If this is possible does anyone have an old Romanian trainer stock they want to sale? Mike

Thanks Z1R, I sent you a message. Mike

Thanks karlunity, I'll check out Wal-mart.

Anyone have a sling swivel for a Romanian 1969 22 Trainer? Could also use a sling. Thanks.

Thanks Clemson for the info. I checked the model number on this press and its a Super model 3, built like a tank, I use it for heavy work. I sure hated to see Herter's stop making reloading equipment. Thanks again

I bought an old Herter's press awhile back and it came with a few shell holders and a RCBS shell holder adapter. Does anyone know what shell holders 27,19, 13 and #5 will fit? Thanks in advance.

Thanks BradD

I would like to hear from anyone using a "Lead Sled" to help in load development. They seem like a good idea on the surface but I was wondering if there were any draw backs that I'm not aware of? I always wonder if that "flyer" was me or the ammo. Christmas is coming and I thought the "Lead Sled" may be a good item to put on my want list.
