Came across a Lee mold labeled, "Lee-AAC" mold. Anyone using one or point me in the right direction?

Is that the Lee 309-230-5R ? Real long & skinny with a boat tail?
Yes. I measured the OAL and that is 1.36", so must be same bullet.
I ordered that mold from Midway on Thursday, ups shows a Tuesday delivery. Not sure why I'm starting with that particular mold alot of lead in such a small cartridge.
It will be interesting to see where this one goes.
It's been 34 years since I've dirtied an AR. Oh well, old dog needs a new trick once in a while.

Krh1326, thanks posting your results. I have the same mold and just cast some recently. I had seen the H335 listed in Lyman's 50th edition, and was skeptical. Of course it may or may not work for me, because it will be used in an AR pistol, different gas length. But why not give it a try.
I'll be trying those bullets out with 300-MP also.
