[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2304702, member: 15054"] Buddy gave me a lee mold to make some of these for him. pretty cool looking bullet.. Was the older style lee mold...2 cavity [url]http://www.midwayusa.com/product/938614/lee-2-cavity-bullet-mold-tl309-230-5r-30-caliber-309-diameter-230-grain-300-aac-blackout-tumble-lube-5-ogive-radius[/url] I kept some and gas checked them.. will try in my .308 and see what happens.. will be using 16gr of 2400 for starters. I hear that bullet wobbles in a regular gun..we will see. I will say this mold was a bear to get nice bullets. I had to heat it pretty well and run the led temp a couple numbers higher on my lee bottom pour pot. But got a bunch of good ones,, had to cast about 50 before i got enough heat in that deep mold.. i even heated the thing with a propane torch on the bottom. Once up to temp it did excellent.. Weight came to 225-227 gr I feel the weight difference was when i turned down the heat on the pot to see if it would still fill out the mold. Not really.. had to keep the heat up... This is wheel weight lead with 2 12gauge #7.5 shot pellets dumped in.. and 24" of lead free silver solder off a spool.. water dropped.. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32605[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
