    115 grain boolit thru a 9 inch BLK bbl and pistol buffer/DI setup?

    will a 115 grain boolit cycle thru a 9 inch blackout barrel? I'm running a pistol buffer and DI setup.

    Looking at a 311008 5 cavity mould but not certain it will function. Any thoughts?

    Get it in a gas check design, and you should be fine if the nose will work with your feedramps. I just polished and knocked off the edges as suggested by another member, and now it seems mine will feed anything. That mold will need to be pushed supersonic, hence the need for a gas check. There is a much better mold in the group buy section that should drop a 124 grain hollowpoint. Look for the 311410 mold. Use a gas check design unless you want leading issues in supersonic. For subsonic you want a heavy bullet 200+ grains, and with those you can use a PB. If you try to push that light of boolit subsonic to avoid the gas check it wont cycle the action in an AR rifle.

    That is going to be VERY short, might have feeding issues related to the very short OAL.
