    The Lee push through dies are your friend. I've run thousands of 5.56 55 gr. I got from HiTech here in St. Louis over the years. Fine for blasting and they shoot better than one might think.

    mold advice needed

    I just got a 450 Bushmaster upper for a AR. Thinking I'll run linotype bullets gas checked and Hitech coated.
    Wondering if anyone could recommend a mold for that caliber.

    Lacquer thinner!! Always have it in my body shop. Works great and dries fast. Cleans up my cases lubed with a mix of alcohol/lanolin just fine. A good degreaser for most anything.
