Thanks Daryl. I’ll have to slug the bore to see actual dimensions. I have a bunch of .321” JSP’s for 32 Winchester that I can use if the bore runs small. If the neck/throat has enough room to release the bullet cleanly, then I won’t worry too much about a slight larger diameter bullet in .323”
Thanks for the data.
I believe Daryl's post might include a typo.
IIRC 8x50R is an oddball .329" diameter.
LEE used to stock a bullet sizer die to reduce .338" bullets to the Austrian groove depth. (I have a set of those dies for reduction of .375 to 9.3/.366. I believe they will still make you a custom die if you request it.)
YES, slug your bore and see.
And you can fireforem a case with no bullet to see if a .329 bullet fits the case properly to release it. You do NOT want to load an oversize bullet for safety reasons and you also do not want to load an undersize bullet for accuracy reasons.
