Looking for mold options.


Straight walled
Boolit weight 120-150 range

Ogive 5-6 7 be nice.....

Not sure options I'm looking for a good Blackout plinking round.

Their hard to find but the cramer #50's are the cat's meow for plinking boolits in the 30 carbine/7.62x39/308/30-06/blackout. I have a 2 cavity mold that casts a 125gr sp boolit and a 110gr hp boolit.

Playing around with the 125gr sp in a 308, pc'd boolits with no gc. A 10-shot 50yd group.

They look nice. But I'm not wanting a gas check and this mold clearly calls for one.

You could always have the gas check removed. NOE has one that might fit the bill in the 309414, if he cuts some more(out of stock). Al usually offers his molds in GC or PB.

Kool. Thank you. New to casting and just want my plinkers cheap as possible

Yes, that mold is made for using gc's. But you don't actually have to use gc's all the time. That picture of that 10-shot group @ 50yds was shot without any gc's and that 10-shot string averaged 1700fps with the chronograph 10ft from the muzzle.

Did you ever try them boolits I sent you? The 150gr shoot rather well.
