      I’m sure this will open up a huge can of worms. Comments? Thoughts? Idea’s?

      I have been talking with Al about developing a .225 cast bullet mold in the 55-60gr but with no grease grooves, and in a spire point boat tail base design.

      Here’s my theory; IF all things being equal, a cast 55 grain boat tail cast bullet (powder coated in my case) would fly as well as a commercial jacketed bullet of the same design.

      The only real issue I see is hardness. So, that is my idea.

      Who would be in for a .225 boat tail mold in the 55-60 grain weight?

        I like the Teemu boattail, but I would have preferred both a lube groove and a crimp groove. But then again I shouldn’t be getting into casting for the .223…  ???

        Yes you should… :-X

        These look cool…anyone test PCing any rifle bullets running around 2k, without a gas check?

          I’d be interested in hearing about that as well. . .

                Still working on the manufacturing part of this one.
                The boat tail adds some real problems to the tooling.
                Have to see what we can do.

                  Fair enough Sir,
                  I’ve got a brand new Gary Reeder custom barrel in .224 GNR which is a 357Maximum case necked down to.224/ just waiting for a new mold to go with it.
                  Please keep us posted on the progress of this one.
