My Favorite Bullet to cast and shoot!

[Brother_Love]

I just spent an hour casting these from the RCBS mold. My favorite cast boolit!

Puuuuuuuuuuurdy little boolits...

[Jailer]

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.

[CAVEMTNMAN]

I think I will get me one of those molds. Very nice boolits.

Looks like it could be an RCBS 35-200FN too!

[Cane_man]

just got the NOE clone... what are your favorite loads?

[Shiloh]

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...[smilie=1:

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

[Brother_Love]

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 ;>).

No crimp groove.

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

[Brother_Love]

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

[Echo]

Love that porn!

[detox]

Do these shoot well without the gas check?

[FLHTC]

Don't overlook IMR 3031. I use 18 grains in my 223 under the same bullet. Got a box of em in my avatar.

[USMC87]

I'm getting ready to try the same mold and see how well they go through my 223.

Very nice acquisition. How round are the castings?
