    243 cast bullets??

    Has anyone tried the shorter 243 bullets.
    I was looking at the NOE 243 molds and see they offer a short,84 grain mold. I was wondering if anyone has tried these in 243. My twist is 1 in 9.5.. thanks..

    I have the NOE 245 75 FN
    I have shot them most recently in a Savage Axis (using Lyman "cast boolit" data), so speed is well below jacketed data.
