I have a need for help
I currently cast for 9mm and .40sw
I would like to ask about casting for .223
I have a few concerns
I have 1985 colt Hbar and that has a 1/7 twist
I have been using 75 grain HPBT payed for types
I do not have a normal lube sizer I have been using lee lube and zise with tumble lube
I would like to use them for just target shooting under 250 yards
I would like any suggestions you could give
maybe paper batch ?
or what Gas cheack?

man if you can paper a 22 boolit you got some patience.
i would look at linotype and g/c's.
look around some for mold suggestions.
my 22 mold is still in the green box as i haven't started yet for my bolt rifle.

Well Lee makes ( lists ) a .224 and .225 sizer kit
I size mine .225

I use Gator checks from a GB , not sure if he has them listed or not now

I use White Lable Carnuaba Blend
Not sure , but you should be able to pan lube and use a Lee Push through sizer

I use a Bator ( sp ) Lee mould from Mid South , RCBS 55 gr and ( 2 )Lyman 225415 moulds
The 2 225415's not the same
About 5 - 7 gr different between the 2

I use them all in my AR , I just keep the velosity down

I believe CBE has a 70 gr mould as dose others

That might be better for your rifles twist
