	I have a High Wall in .33-47 up and running. Can anyone recommend a match bullet mold design that I could order from either NOE or Accurate and receive in time to shoot before the snow flies? 1:14 twist. Should I go with a spitzer? Money bullet design? Something else?

	You might also try John Schauf for a mold. He made one for a gentleman with an original Pope that has shot several 250's in competition. Rich

	I have a 1917 High Wall action with a Ken Bresien barrel that is 25 3/4 inches long with 7 lands and a 1:14 left hand twist. The best I can measure, it has a .338 bore and a .235" long throat that tapers from .341 to .339". Outside diameter of fired brass mouths averages .362". I plan to breech seat bullets. Suggestions?

	Use NOE 341-245-SP-R1. Size to .339" for my rifle. Note "Sold Out", not much help. Chuck

I have a Briesen .33 mold and it is fully cylinder @ .339. the advice from chuckster on that NOE that mold he recommended may work in your throat. this accurate design shoots well in my 33-47 Hiwall 1-14 it's similar to the 338301 Ideal design In that it steps similar to Hudson type designs.

	David Mos cut a 240 gr. spitzer for me and it is a tack driver.

	I mentioned John. Before he cuts you a mould, he wants your land and groove measurements. He then cuts a mold to fit. Rich

	I totally agree with John Rigby my Mos Mould was a 234 grain spitzer, barrel a Bresien 15 twist. Load 14,7 grains of AA-9 and or H-108 and 300MP would also be the same. Primers were Rem. 91/2's and it was the most competitive rifle that I have owned off the bench at 200 yards and being breech seated.

	David likes to have the chamber cast as well. Last Thursday I sent him a chamber cast of the case mouth area through the throat for a 44-77 PP mold. Should have the mold in my mailbox today. Using it on an Elk hunting trip in October.

	Thanks, everyone! I sent David Mos a chamber cast and fired brass. He's making me a match bullet mold and a breech seater.
