Part #2 of 2 (Quest for the "Right Stuff")
Continuing to add to the collection of needed tools for reload of the Colt AR 5.56 Platform,
Looks like we will invest in a RCBS die set and most likely will be the RCBS X-Die as most seem to bend to that die for this platform given the least issues in long run, so now We need to start to look for A KNOWN WORKING mOLD FOR IT,,
Ours is a 7 x 1 twist 16" mil profile barrel in 5.56 as i had mentioned
what are you guys happy with or what do you wish you had gotten first?
Brand, Wight & Vendor?
I see lots are happy with the JT Knives mold (I have a 00 Buck mold of his and its nice)
as I read I guess we can handle a 50 to 100 gn Boolit with this twist but liking idea of about 60gn for all round plinking
but what about a HP? who makes one, and does it load well?
Is it easy to reload with?
Please chime in with some eduction for me here so I can try to buy the best mold the first time for this AR and save some money for now,,
Later I can buy cool stuff but for now we want to shoot and want to avoid any dogs,,
Let me know what your using and why and if ya had druthers what would you had bought,,
also PM us if you would like to sell a hand full so once we are up we can see what the rifle seems to like,
the rifles a Colt 6920, 5.56, 7-1 in 16" bone stock.. If you have one what did it like or not like?
Thanks guys you had been a big help on the die set, Hoping for just a bit more help for this mold buy
