What mold is that?
Those are about as close to casting perfection as you can get. Nice work!
rcbs 22-055 S
I think it is my favorite one to shoot too.
I think I will get me one of those molds. Very nice boolits.
Looks like it could be an RCBS 35-200FN too!
It's all chicken, even the beak!
just got the NOE clone... what are your favorite loads?
Geez those cast up nice!! What alloy??

Thanks guys! This is the RCBS mold and I am about to develop new loads for my new toy, a Remington 722 in 222 Rem. I have shot these in 22-250 with good results a while ago.
This Lyman #2 alloy.
I'll PM you with my address so I can help rid you of those horrible things...

i tried that boolit yesterday in my .223 Rem bolt gun using RL7, fliers all over the place at 100 yards! that was the only powder i had that was close for that cal/cast combo
I had great results with the 22-250 with 2400 and Unique. I hope for better results with 222. I am now through casting and this is what I ended up with yesterday. And yes, I bad to recycle various containers ;>).

Nice yield and quality. Was your 22-055 recently manufactured? What's the as-cast diameter on the band and nose?

It's not about gun control, it's about people control. The progressives are using terrorists and the insane to further their agenda. If the socialist news media wasn't complicit, we could sit back and watch Fast & Furious and Benghazi-gate unfold.
Yes, newly manufactured, got it 2 months ago from Midway. The nose is .221", bands are .227" and I am sizing to .225". I generally do not crimp them but if I do I roll the case slightly over the upper band. It worked well in the 22-250, although I did not crimp many of them. Malcolm
My 12 twist AR shoots that boolit real good

One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)
Do these shoot well without the gas check?
Don't overlook IMR 3031. I use 18 grains in my 223 under the same bullet. Got a box of em in my avatar.
I'm getting ready to try the same mold and see how well they go through my 223.
