According to Berger Twist calculator at such short length 0.656" and such weight - 65gr the stability increases dramatically to the point that it will stabilize in 1:14 twist rate at velocity of 2400 fps and higher. The reason I believe it - is because I shot 60gr NOE cast bullets out of my 221FB which has twist rate of 1:14 and there was no keyholing and accuracy was good. I shot between 2560 - 2700+ fps and got between 1.5 - 2 MOA groups with slower being better. Powder coated and homemade gas checks. Now if that doesn't work out I do have .223 in 1:9 and 1:8 twist rate.
With that being said Lakehouse2012 please add me for brass 6 cavity solid gas check version. I really wish Miha could make NLG with GC but I realize that's not an option. This is going to be my first brass mold. email dimaprok at gmail dot com
Any idea when this GB will close?

Life's biggest tragedy is we get old too soon, and wise too late.
Lakehouse2012-
Thank you, sir. Sure would be an amazing mold to have about NOW.

I'll take a 6-cav brass NLG and FB

I'll take 2 of the 3 cavity HP molds.
3 cavity HP / Grooved / GC -- kpatton at take2 dot us
3 cavity HP / NLG / FLAT -- kpatton at take2 dot us
Lakehouse2012, I think I'm going to jump out of this one. I got an inferior non-HP mold to get me on track.
I'll stay subscribed and might jump back in when it goes to last call.
Thanks
I'm in for 1- 3 cavity, HP, NLG, GC - SteveOB at outdrs dot net

Why did this have to catch my eye?!
I'm in for a brass 6 cavity, 66 grain solid NLG, flat base (only option if I understand right).
