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

[wacki]

I haven't tried powder coat, but with Hi-Tek, I've had zero fouling with nonchecked bullets, however the accuracy is crapola, as the bullets I tested all had gas check shanks. I expect a plain base without lube grooves to be much more accurate

Please report back with how the new mold treats you. How bad is the "crapola" accuracy of the old mold & no gas checks?

[wacki]

how much are the gas checks?

[wacki]

Didn't you say you tested unchecked bullets with gas check shanks? That's what I'm asking about. Your previous experience.

Hey everyone, this group buy is still active and open. Sorry I haven't updated recently, I had two other buys close, and they took up a lot of my time. To answer some questions:
When we did the original group buy with this cherry, we had a couple issues, so in order to fix everything we destroyed the cherry and ordered a brand new one. So, it is on order, but will be a few weeks as it is behind 7 other group buys that we already ordered.
I am updating the thread with who wants what, sorry for the delay!

I cleaned this thread up.
Look fellers, there's no reason to get snarky with somebody who asks a few basic questions about a mold, and if somebody does get snarky, its not your job to start a fight in the OP's thread.
Be kind until you are unable, then report the post that offends you (little triangle under the posters avatar) or send me or one of the other mods a PM and it will be handled. There is no reason to conduct yourselves like this.
Please help us keep this sort of thing off our forum.
Thanks fellers.
Now, back to mold buying.

I'll take a 2 cavity & 1k of aluminum gas checks.

Hello
i have only cast for my cowboy guns. Is it hard to load these for my AR? Do i have to size them?
i think they would be great for subsonic suppressed loads what do you think about running through a suppressor? Thanks for a little wisdom.

[wacki]

Ill try a 2 cav plain base no gas check as well. If that's possible. I want to experiment. I shoot mostly suppressed. Throw in 2k copper checks for use with my other order.

[wacki]

Any chance you can do my 2 cav plain base in powder coat option? Or at least shrink the diameter so I can resize the rest?

Bump for more interest.

Put me down for a two cavity with a Lyman style top punch.

Please remove me from this buy. I have found a mold that suits my rifle better for its twist.

Thanks,

#3 on list. Would like to change to 2 cavity Powdercoat option (dia) and plain base. No gas checks needed.
Also when will this run? Op stated 12 week lead time and it is now at about 6 months, with no one added for at least a month. Is this going to happen?
Thanks
Roger

I have been thinking about this mold.

Quick question, how fast can I push a powdercoated boolit? Can I go supersonic up to 2000-2300FPS?? Will a powder coating version work with 1:9 twist at supersonic velocities? I will be using Wheel weights.

Thank you kindly. Will make a decision in the next day or two. Also how do we pay?
