[Wayne S]

What grain size is this?

I suggest you READ the top post, that will answer your question

gah.... I see it now. I scanned the image and did a cntrl-f. Obviously didn't see everything in the image.

[wacki]

Any advantage of a 75 grain over normal sized 5.56 rounds?

Also, any reason I should pick a 2 cav over a 6 cav?

This would be my first 5.56 mold.

[tygar]

Are the 4 or 6 cavity in steel also?

That would be of interest.

[wacki]

I'll probably take a 6 cav... unless there's a reason to go smaller.

Couple of questions:

1. What is Shipping for the 2 cavity version?
2. Will these work in my AR-15 as well as an RCBS 22-055-SP 55 Grain Semi-Point? I have a friend who supplies some to me every so often and they work great at about 2350 FPS with my 1:9 twist barrel. I know it has been asked, but can these stabilize in my 1:9 barrel? I am sizing at .225 right now and that is what I will do with these.

Would like to get a little more self-sufficient and buy my own mold. Also, the extra weight would not hurt either in down range energy.

Shipping is a flat $6

There are guys pushing this bullet right along in 1-9 twist bores, this bullet was designed for the fast twist AR rifles. It *almost* stabilized in my 1-14 twist 222 Rem

I hope that answered your questions!

Is there anyway to do the same profile in a plain base without lube grooves?

[FrankG]

Put me down for a 2 cavity and a bag of checks please .

[Buzz64]

Looks like hornady GC's should be fine - have a ton on hand so just checking with the 'expert' on GC and this boolit.

[cpy911]

Thanks! Answers my questions. I will ponder it and get it line. When is the cutoff day for putting in for one?

I hope that answered your questions!

[tja6435]

I'd take 2x 6 cavity if I could get it cut with a plain base and no lube grooves

[roysha]

When oh when??? The anxiety factor is increasing exponentially to the time till this is run!

[Shakey Jakey]

I'm in for a 2 cavity. Looks like the problems from the first batch were resolved?

[Shakey Jakey]

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

What kind of groups did you get at 100yds?

[WD2A7X3]

Disregard, I'll assume this group buy is closed.

Will 5.56 work with no gas check? I'm all about powder coating.

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

[wacki]

Deleted.

[Fla9-40]

I'll take a 2 cavity and 1k checks....
