I've been bitten by the bug and after a year of casting, mold gathering, and a few burns, I'm well equipped except I don't have a good 223/5.56 mold so I can shoot cast bullets in my ar's. Over the years, I have found the nosler 60 gr spire point and sierra's 69gr matchking jacketed bullets to be almost universally good to great performers in ar-15's with 1:7-8 barrels. Does anyone make a heavier bullet mold with a similar shape? (I realize a boattail design like the Sierra is out since gc's are a must). What are you folks using and having good results with?

Thanks!

NEI makes a couple heavier designs. I have heard their product is not what it was, though.
