    Custom Mold Maker for .223?

    Could you recommend custom mold maker for .223, please? I have hard time finding plain base bullet mold that will throw about 70-72 gr. I have a design that I want, but can't find maker. NOE does not answer on two my email, Accurate does not offer smaller that .30, MiHec I guess is too busy with GB, I rather like to avoid LEE...

    Sent him PM on NOE forum 4 days ago. Don't want to bother him anymore. I might wait this euphoria with 20% discount to pass and write him for the last time.

    Mountain Molds.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    For PC ?
    I'd contact hardline, they may even have it already, as they specialize in PC style molds.

    regarding NOE, I assume you will need to find 9 other people that will want to buy your unique design. If you have a drawing and want to pursue a GB through NOE, I'd start a thread on NOE'sGroup Buy Discussion forum...To see if there is interest.
    Good Luck,
    Jon

    Not for PC. Will put on GC from soda cans made with PatMarlins Checkmaker.
    Actually NOE has appropriate design, so he has the cherry (or whatever it calls), but it's not in stock. That's why I hope won't be a problem to make single mold.

    @waksupi: Will check Mountain Molds, thx.
    EDIT: Just checked Mountain molds. They can't make round nose. I want RN. Something like this, but plain base: http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product...qkvh2v9c6veda0

    This morning I was checking a few websites and... what a surprise - the desired mold is already in stock on NOE site. Ordered right away.
    Thank you, Al !
