The NOE 55 gr mold has been working pretty good for me so far.

Bunch of folks around here have liked the 55 gr NOE mould.

BM,
The proper mold for you AR may depend on its twist rate. I have a LMT Carbine with 1:7 twist and I cast and shoot the 70 grain boolits from a multicavity NOE mold sized to 0.2253". I'm getting a little over 2200 ft/sec with 23 grains of 4064 with good action cycling and no leading so far. If you have a longer twist rate then you will need a lighter boolit.

good luck- oldandslow

I picked up that one also, sounds like you are ahead of me. Could you share that pretty good load? Thanks Mark

There are 2 differient 55gr molds listed on NOE. Which one are people using? One is based on a (RCBS 22-055 FN) and the other is listed as (MX3-22). Thank you.

RCBS 22-055 mold
I have been working it up slowly with H335 but so far cycling the action is fine and ejection fine, no leading at all at 17.5, 17.6g but the group is 1.5" at 50 yds. using a Vortex red dot scope off sandbags front and back.
