Anyone use the NEI # 1 boolit in .224 39 g GC in a 1-16 inch twist?

I had Walt make me a six cavity for the #2 about 15 years ago. I threatend for quite some time to get the #1 but so far only threats.
Since the work I have received from his SIL is not up to Walts quality I guess I will not have him make me one.
I think it takes quite some skill and patiance to get six of those tiny cavities as close to perfect as Walt did for me.
I have considerd chancing a double but still only threats.
If you get one I would like to hear about it. Would like a small sample too.
My #2 with gas check and lube cast in WW alloy comes in at 48gn. It does well in any twist I have seen used in 22 cal.

Looks like their version of the 225107 Lyman. I've played with the Lyman version on and off for a while. Most amusing results so far were in a 16" twist #3 Ruger Hornet with a Win. SP and about 2.9 gr Red Dot. Sounds like a 22 rimfire, shoots little groups @50 yd., and drops like a rock. Groups were about 11" below POA at 50 yd. Seated out to touch the rifling using a flat ended seating punch to keep things square.
