Tuesday morning budsgunshop.com had the IWI Tavor in stock for about 20 minutes, and I got one ordered.

Its 223/5.56, 16.5" barrel, 1 in 7 twist.

I spent some time searching, and read a lot of comments. It looks like 70 grains is a good choice. I'm leaning towards a NOE, 70 grain (http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=87).

Is there a better choice I should consider?

Thanks!

I have that mold. I like it. My bbl is a 1-8" and used mostly for plinking. No serious paper punching yet.

Well hopefully the Mihec 75gr NATO mold will be ready to ship soon so I can try it in my 1:7 AR. Should be able to get close to full power loads with the 75gr. Hopefully it is fairly accurate as well.
