Ah well there's a few 223 group buys on cast boolits now that go for less than $200. I've got a 65gr mold already from Mihec and now I'm signed up for a 6-cavity 75gr mold. These molds are meant for nato or wylde chambers though.

At any rate if the lighter bullet could be successfully driven to just 2400-2600fps then it'd be good enough for most purposes and it would make powerfactor for the common shooting sports. The heavier 75gr one will do that at just 2100 fps. It will be very interesting to see what can be done with these.
I would love to cast some bullets for you to coat ('cos I would like to test them myself) but it would be illegal for you to send me the bullets back outside the states after I've sent them to you :/ I bet there are people in the US that could much easier and cheaply do this anyway.
I would love the hitek coating but we got no dealers here :/
Here's someone who's done what I would like to, but he did not have success with accuracy it seems:
