I'm looking to get a mold to shoot in my .22 hornet. What is everyone's favorite mold? May possibly use in a .223 Remington also but main gun is a hornet. Thanks.

My favorite is the BRP-226-47. I tried quite a few different molds before trying that little pill. None of the others were even close to the accuracy I achieved with the BRP 226-47. Woody402 if you want to try some I'll send you some, seeing that we are almost neighbors! There is a group buy coming soon for a NOE clone of this boolit. Here is the link to the thread, you can keep an eye on it and order when it becomes a group buy. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?184811-BRP-226-47-GC-Group-Buy-Coming-Soon/page2&highlight=BRP+226-47+GC

I tried the 225438 and the RCBS 22 55 and settled on that. Accuracy from a Contender was an inch at 50 with the Hornet and the 223. The 223 liked IMR 3031 and the Hornet did well with IMR 4227. Im not finished yet but i suspect the Lyman mould will also perform well but i haven't found the load yet.

My favorite is the Lyman 225438. It is probably a little light for a .223 at 44 grains, but it's just right for the 22hornet. You can load them down to 22LR velocities or as fast as your alloy, lube and twist rate will take.

I would like to get in on that buy as well. That is a good looking design, and I think it will work in my CZ bolt gun in 223 with hornet duplication loads.
