Did some casting with the new NOE mold 223-38-RN
The lead used had a BHN of 10 and filled out very well .

The round nose was shot from a vintage Daystate Air Ranger in .223
and did very well with the 39 grain I was hitting small pebbles at
85 yards with ease , I will shoot some paper at 100 yards very soon .

I cast a shot some of both the solids and HP . Good fill out with a 40:1 mix and performed pretty good . I have to work on sizing to my barrel . So far I think we have a winner. Pic is of the HP at 60 yards .

Went out shooting today with the NOE 223-38-RN the slug
that did the best was poured with some lead that had a
BHN of 10 and was shot as casted with a size of .224 the
round nose did not do as well as the hollow point .

Here is a picture of my 3 airguns that are chambered in .223
on the low left a Huben more testing will be needed with this one
the gun in the middle is a factory made Daystate Air Ranger in .223
and on the right is my Daystate Wolverine 303 that has been converted
to a .223 and preferes a diameter of .224 , here are the guns .

Here is the Air Ranger .223 it is a rare gun I only know of 3 that were made
and the gun is about 13-15 years old probably .
The scope is a Weaver T-36 with a fine cross hair .

And here is the group it shot at 100 yards at 1015 fps with the 36 grain HP
3 shots are very close there was a little 3-4 mph from the left .
I did cast sone rounds in pure lead they did not do as well .
