ID:	124817I have had nothing but great luck with the 230... The only problem I am having is its only 2 cavities.... I wish Lee offered it in a 6 cavity. I do have the NOE 5 cavity 247 PB on order.

    I am running a 16 inch barrel .. Pistol length gas system... All have been powder coated.. 100% cycling, BHO on last shot... Using 4227 @ 10.7 grains...

    Forming the brass has been slow and I have completed 2K of a 6K batch. I have another 400 rounds for the kids to play with this weekend. As far as accuracy goes they hit a 8 inch round @ 50 yards using a Red Dot with no problem.. They are happy... I am tired..

    You can start with around 12gr of RL-7, should provide functioning in an AR.

    They have made them, and will sell you one on request. I've been tempted for several of their designs. I'm also tempted to cut mine down to a 5r profile flat base 168 grainer and see how it does in 30-06 / 308 win. If that works well, I will cut down a 6 cav version and make a mold I would get a lot of enjoyment from.
    In the market for a multicavity Mi-Hec 9mm HP mold.

    I presently cast for .380 ACP, 9mm, .38/.357, 30 cal and .45 and 12 Ga slug.
    I am particularly grateful for the help I have gotten from members Red333 and MSRdiver, and OLD Para (who made a crazy mold on my design!!!!!) as well as excellent guides by Recluse for his ideal lube process. I have been experimenting with poly coating too.

    PM me if you know of a very cheap source of birdshot, or an efficient way to make #4 Buck.
