My Cadet has groove diameter .3185. If you don't need a gas check design for higher velocity, look for an 8mm Nambu mold since they are in the weight & diameter range you need. I use a Hensley-Gibbs 116.323 or an NEI 322-100, which are both round nose with plain base. Sizer is either an RCBS .319 (actual is .3185) or a Lyman .321 (actual is .3200). The downside is the molds won't be at the Lee price unless one pops up at a gun show or eBay. Good luck.

Thanks, Phil.

That gives me a great place to start (being 5 groove I wasn't sure exactly how big the diameter was).
