Got my mold yesterday and I gorgeous. Cast several hundred with it today. With my alloy, they are about 9grs on the light side. Just wondering if anyone has worked up any loads yet for this bullet. I'll be shooting them in a 16" AR with a carbine length gas tube. My load for my RCBS 22-55-FN in 19.2gr of RL-7 to get reliable functioning. This is over max, and I assume I'll have to switch powders for this bullet.
"This is over MAX" ?? over max for what ?
9 gn. light about what everyone else is reporting.
75 - 9 = 66 . How about looking in the military section for loads posted using the HM2 or MeHic's 65 gn bullet. You will see that suggested loads are with slower powders.
IHMSA # 566 "time sure flies when you're having FUN"
66 is less than 75! If I wanted a 66grn bullet I would have ordered something else. The charge of 19.2 is over max for the 55gr bullet I was loading.
