    Got the list updated, I am really wanting to get 10 cavities in the big mold, mainly because it will result in an even number of pours per AR mag. (Call me wierd)

    My cull rate is pretty high for .223/5.56 boolits. I only bother loading and shooting the "perfect" boolits so I really don't pay attention to cavity count.

    Maybe, depends on the gun really. It is a long boolit suited for 1:7 or 1:8 twist. Your best bet is to probably see if you can get a few boolits from someone whom buys a mold to try out first. Though I doubt you would have issue selling the mold if your gun does not like it.

    I just had a brain storm (or brain fart), why don't you make a special deal for GCs with your molds? Molds & checks, all in the same box, can cast, load & shoot the same day.

    I'm in for a 4 or 6 cavity. Is it possible for a mold to have 3 flat base and 1 check base?

    Planned on it, was going to add it as an option once I close the buy. I need to get the cherry and I think this buy will be moving very soon. This will be a popular design so I feel comfortable cutting molds a tad early.

    updated thread.

    In one word YES, it will probably shoot more accurately in your 1-9 than in the faster twists

    I would be interested if I could get load data on a 1-7 from someone. I'm very new to reloading, but since I finished my AR yesterday I'm on the scout for a heavier bullet.

    Put me in for a 8 or 10 cavity. I assume the mold will use LEE handles. If not, I'll need a set of those as well.

    Handles will be Lee 6 cavs and I will have to check the top punch, I may have to make up some "blank" punches like the professor makes.

    No HP on this one, you can still get in on the 12 ga you literally slipped in under the wire on that one:
