Saw that, want that, will get that. 55 grain FP, perfect.
darn, out of stock
Good for Lee, glad they have this one available. Perhaps sometime later they will offer a 22 mold in the 45 or 50 grain weight for the Hornet and Bee. One can always hope.

I'll probably pick one of those up in a few months. When I get some hide it from the wife money

The sku works looks to be the same a the bator. Is available a few places in the 6 cavity. For feeding .223 in an auto loader I must say 2 cavities would be a lot of casting time to shooting time ratio. Six cavity seems more promising. But I have heard the tiny calibers like that are tougher to cast so maybe a 2 cavity would make sense for ease in having a consistent cast.
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

I thought the Bator has more of a round nose?
The bator does have a round nose and is fairly short. Way to short for my AR to be accurate. I got 4" groups at best at 100yds. Your AR may be different? 72g NOE mold I've been getting 2" and less. Few others here using the 70 grain with great results as well. Obviously NOE's are pricey.
I have several Lee molds and dies and presses, love their stiff and their price wish they made a 60-65g 225-229" mold.
Small cavity 2 place mold, once you get it to temp, you'd be surprised how fast you can cast 500 rnds.
Id like to see the specks on this bullet. Claims 0.225" but how about a length?
For the price I may just have to pick one up to play with it.
I'm thinking the same thing. I just wish it was a bit heavier.
Does anyone know the alloy Lee used for the declared bullet weight? I know I pick up 2 gr. as cast with 2/3/95 in a lyman mold I have. If I added lube and/or gas check....? Might this mold end up going around 60 gr.
500 rounds for the 38 revolver seems like a lot, in an auto loader eh not seem like so many then. But I have to agree with berksglh even a two cavity can crank out a pretty good size pile in not all that much time. Especially compared to what those 500 .225 pills would cost in jacketed.

I'm seeing round flat for both and same SKU and one is clearly called the bator.
If I saw the 2 cavity I might go for it at $20 but I'm probably going to save my money and go for the NOE mold, heavier bullet and longer nose profile

Looks a lot like the RCBS 22-55-SP. And my .223 loves that RCBS bullet, so may have to pick up one of these just to see if it works as well.
I passed my last psych eval, how bout you?
The image I saw looks more like my Lyman 225-55 gr RF. I have cast/shot many of those through my Mini 14 and AR15 Clone, first as a greaser then ESPCd. Last week I received my NOE 60 grain slick sided plain base mold (looks like the RCBS profile) just for PC. I have loaded a bunch that I ASBBDT coated, just need a trip the the range to see how they fly.
Common sense Gun Safety . . .
Is taught at the Range!
Got to email notice they were back in stock, have on headed my way now!
For $20, I couldn't resist the 2 cavity. I'll have to order up some .22cal gas checks now, but I'll be trying hard alloy with hi-tek and no checks as well.

Has anyone noticed if this mold produces a shape which feeds better in an AR than the Bator boolit?
I have one and have cast quite a few, but haven't had the opportunity to load any up yet. Picked up some AL gas checks from Vulcan Checks for a good price. so I need to size/PC/Check first. More Grunt Work.
I agree, it looks like the RCBS to me.
Great bullet for the .223. I have the NOE version, which my AR loves.

Looks like Lee is expanding some, and offering new mold designs...
Sometimes I think we make things harder than they have to be
