    in a 223 use 7gr of unique and any 40-60gr bullet, you'll have a 22mag load.

    My hornet is an old Savage (using memory here, to lazy to dig it out of safe) 322-A, I don't shoot it much, but would like a quite cast load. I would powder coat and prefer a plain base mold.

    As far as regular loads, it's MUCH louder than a 22 LR, but much quieter than my AR. I'd say half as loud as a .223 AR.

    The Lyman 225107 was a 37grain mould but has been discontinued for many years now. Luckily NOE make the 225107 now in anything up to 5 gang.

    Thanks Fred, I see it now 37 gr. I just ordered the PB 5 cavity. This will be my first NOE mold, but I cast some boolits with a buddies 30 cal molds last summer.

    We'll see how it does for my hornet, may even try some in my .223.
