Any body know were I can get some boolits in .314 similar to the attached picture. I'm trying to build a load for my AIA and I'm keen to try this boolit before forking out for the mould.
A slack hand full would do.

Is your AIA a 7.62x39?

Maybe it was a full fat slug he popped through the bore...

Yes it is .311. What I have found is the rifle works better with a longer bore riding boolit rather than the soup can type Its only early days with cast in this rifle so I am exploring all options. I have a couple of moulds but they are the usual Lee offerings. I have moulds for the .303 that I can try as well. .314 is a useful size I can put it through a sizer if need be. I'm currently shooting a .312 boolit in it. I posted this in the reloading section but I must of set it out wrongly because it was deleted. Probably because I aimed the post at Rog to try and get his attention. So I'm trying again here.

Are your .303 moulds .311"?, the reason I ask is my Dragunov is .311" and I may try reloading for it.What weights are the .303 Boolits?.

I have a couple of .303 moulds the one I use the most is .314 can not remember the weight I have not used cast in my .303s for a while I will check I also have .312.

Dam I decided to just buy the mould and have done. Its out of stock story of my life. :roll: Back to the drawing board tesnews doesn't look like I'm going to be able to get my hands on any to try.
