    Back in the 60's, I had a 225415 single cavity that threw 52-53 grain bullets with 50-50 COWW- pure lead. Very accurate in a scoped Savage 219 .22 Hornet with a 1-16 twist.

    Wouldn't your 219 have a 1/14" twist??

    What gives?? Has anyone bought this mould lately and checked their bullet weight? Has this bullet really been on a high calorie diet the past 25 years...and, with no name change, gained 10 gr. of bullet weight?
    Mine is 4-5 years old. With #2 alloy mine are 58 grs lubed and checked. Very accurate in my Remington 700 .223 1-12 twist.
