Realized the other day that my safe has more weapons in 223 than any other cartridge, and yet it’s the only one that I don’t cast for. I guess I always figured it was going to be a headache because of high speeds and ? But I’m reading these modern coatings are able to work at full speed so why not try. I’ve ordered a 61gr grooveless design from arsenal molds. Haven’t used them before so that will be interesting. I’d pretty much resigned to only buying MP molds but this one seemed to fit the bill and on the shelf at a good price so what the heck. I’ll be using hi tek coating.
For powders I’m open to suggestions. I’ve been using 748 mostly because it’s a ball powder and easily gets into the case but I have some other possible candidates like imr4320, maybe h335 and maybe one or two more.
What are some ways to open the mouth up to take the cast pill?
Is anyone using this mold here? Arsenal 225-61 Elvis
