    A.C.E. Co 5.56 Heavy in $55 mold

    Here is a re-run of the 5.56 Heavy boolit that was featured in our large blocks, this will be cut in the $55 blocks and since I already have the cherry there is a no minimum block amount to make this a go.



    Diameter: .227

    Blocks:

    2 Cavity $55

    4 Cavity $100
    6 Cavity $125

    Lead time is 12 weeks

    The molds will be made from 7075-T6 and will accept standard Lee handles.

    Thank you
    Joshua

    Will this stabilize reliably in a 1:9 twist?

    Yes it will stabilize in 1x9 twist barrels. I shoots stable out of all 3 of my 1x9 barrels

    Great mould! I'm half tempted to buy the small one just because.

    I'll take one of these

    Edit: Sorry I changed my mind. I am going to purchase the .311 144 gr mould you are making instead.

    I am not everyone but .227 works for me. WD WWs, aged at least 10 days, softer alloy sizes in my die at .2265. Both dia. seem to shoot well.

    OK, my mistake. My barrel is a 1-7 twist. Will this still work?

    even better.
    1-7 should keep this one straight down into some super slow velocity's.
    I have a 1-7 in my 300 b.o. and a 1-8 in one of my AR's and have pushed things up and down with no problems both in boolit weight and velocity.
