One of my absolute favorite cast bullets for 300 blackout in a silenced, subsonic AR is the Lyman 311679, also called the MXL bullet. NOE has just produced a version and I have a 5 cavity on the way. I can't wait to start dropping big piles of them to feed my hungry AR.

The 5-6 cavity pistol bullet molds have really spoiled me for guns (like the AR) that I shoot in large volumes. I'm really looking forward to dropping more than two at a time.

Here it is all scrubbed up and getting ready for the silver stream.

That is pretty sweet looking! Bet that would be good in .308 and '06 too!

Good evening, that is one SWEET looking mold. I will have to give NOE molds a try! I agree with Elkins45, 5-6 cavity pistol molds spoil a guy when you cast 2 cavity rifle molds. This afternoon I cast 1000 boolits from a 4 cavity and 200 boolits from a 2 cavity. I was wishing for a 6 cavity in both :guntootsmiley: Show us some results when you get a "pile" cast up!

Have you tried plain base in your 300 Blackout?

Yes, but I have a different mold (311365) for that.

I made about 10 pounds of them yesterday. My PID was set a 750° and I cast about half this first batch too hot. I turned it down to 720° and they stopped dropping frosty.

Be careful , those bad boy's are highly addictive. I bought one NOE for Christmas of 2015 just to experience one good mould before I kicked the bucket and see what all the hoopla was about, I have used Lyman, RCBS and Lee for 50 years....just how much better could they be ! Right ?
By Christmas 2016 I had four more NOE's.....I don't know what happens, I see something , there's a sale on , a long discontinued mould brought back, my eyes glaze over and I don't even remember placing the order...It's an addiction, you get possessed and don't have any control..... Yes they are that good and a work of art to boot, I must say, I'm ruined. Now I have properly warned you.... So, time's a wasting , place that order !
