Looking to obtain a set of molds for my Magma Bullet Master. Anyone have an opinion on a mold design that feeds reliably in an AR platform? I have beens playing with the advanced search engine, but am having little luck.
Thanks.

With twist rates from 1-16 to 1-6.5 bores from .222-.224 revolvers to AR's cases from 22 Hornet to 223 WSSM there isnt a "best" cast bullet for the 22 bores. For a cheap plinker almost any will work, but a blanket mold will be a **** shoot at best.

I have shot the Lyman 45gr round nose in my son's AR with no issues at all. Also JT Knives in the vendor section sells a 62gr boolit mold that should work since that is what it is designed for.

Some have had luck with the .22 Bator mold from Midsouth.
