You could also call New England custom guns and get it from them. They have RWS

Been using RWS 7x57R cases for ages. Very good quality.

My k95 in 7x57r has very little throat, I guess they were not meant to be used with lead bullets.Has any one out there run into this problem?
My RCBS mould is bore. ride on the nose but is oversize for this bore, so I may have to make a swage to reduce the nose dia.Let me hear from any one who has a history with k95,s and lead bullets.

Why lead, other than just because you can? Lots of .284 seconds floating around vendor sites if you’re looking for plinking ammo.

Ignorant question, but ive been eyeing this caliber in a K95 ever since I got my R8 this May and started to get the tickle for the K95 bug. Question is, are you able to use the non-rimmed version on the barrel?
