    Plain based 223 mold?

    I am going to be loading for a break action 223 soon. If I want full power loads I will used j-words. My real interest is in being able to load something 22 mag or higher in power, ideally with a meplat. I plan to powder coat the boolits and will cast out of fairly hard alloy (half lino, maybe with the rest COWW), so I am hoping I can get away with pushing these on the harder side for cast (1800 FPS?). If I can get away with not using a check on these itty bitty boolits, I would love to avoid the hassle.
    When you care enough to send the very best, send an ounce of lead.

    Shouldn't be a problem with PC.

    I use the Arsenal Molds 225-61 Elvis for that. Works great for cheap hi volume practice. I Hi-Tek Coat them. I'm not gettign sub MOA with them, more like 2-3 MOA but more could be wrung out of it with further testing.

    There's an 8 hole one from MP right now as a group buy, I got no gas check and it has a meplat. Should fit your bill nicely. And, if powdercoating, you can shoot them full power. Not too sure why you wouldnt want to.
