I am new here, but I just thought I would share my results from this amazing mold. First off, this mold is made beautify and is a perfect fit for this round. I have been looking for a good mold for this round and took a chance on this one. I bought the brass 4 cavity, once you go brass you never go back. I love it, some say to lightly smoke them, well I don’t. I preheat it while the lead is warming up and just start casting. It has dropped perfect bullets right from the start. So far I have cast about 500. They drop at 144.2 with the alloy I am using (8 antimony 2 tin 90 lead) 148.7 after PC and GC. I am doing the usual case prep. trimming to 1.580, sizing and a small flar to keep from shearing lead. I am using 19.0 grains h4198 and getting 1750fps. The grouping is far better than I expected, 1.25 -1.75 at 100 yards. Shot from bags not a vice. That’s better than most factory loads, and a fraction of the price. These are costing me roughly 9 cents each. They were shot from a CMMG mutant 1-10 twist barrel, not to bad for a lead bullet out of an AR! I hope this will help anyone who is looking for a good hard-hitting AK round.
I tried to post a couple of pictures but it said the file was too big. Any ideas?
