Right on! Thats some great results with this round. My ol' man use to paper patch this round. I spent hours helping him when I was young. Brings back memories seeing others shoot this.

Lol, Surprisingly these recoil a hella lot less than any 9mm FMJ round i've shot even at 7grs. HiPoints might be able to survive these rounds

Funny you've mention. I was wondering if I epoxy or glue a steel ball bearing inside the HP and see what that does may get level 2/3 AP fragmenting round? Might be cool to try out

MT Gianni is correct. Also Temps vary between pots. What I do for me at first is crank the pot to 8 untill it melts throughly. Flux with saw dust then dial down to 5, Wait for it to cycle then go to...

Cast 223 at 2310 fps avg. Fun out to 300 yards. Almost half the powder and the same cost of 22lr

Man thats great info Thank-You! I have a 2 cavity Lee 356-124 mold ill try opening the sprue hole up. That may solve the Zinc casting fillout issue.
