How about a 255107 – 50 gr.

NOE have a tool for making the Lyman 225107 – 37 gr. FN, which is a tremendous bullet…. They also make it as a 245107 – 46 gr. FN, and a 266107 – 54 gr. FN, although they are out of stock on both at the present time…. I am suggesting that NOE consider a re-run of the .243 cal, and while they are at it, interpolate the diameter out to 0.255″ for airgun use, or in a .25 ACP….

If anyone is interested in making a 6mm airgun, the 46 gr. would be a good starting point for that as well…. If you are interested in seeing these run, in any size from 6mm to .257 cal (or even larger)…. please post here…. I would suggest the GC version for airgun use…. No reason a Lyman HP pin could not be used in one cavity….

I’d like one of each, 0.245″ and 0.255″, both in 2 cavity aluminum with HP pin….

Hey Bob, got an idea on what the weights would scale up to as far as the .250 and .257 are concerned?

Thank you,
Chris

If the 46 gr. for the 0.245″ diam. is correct… at 0.255″ it would be 50 gr….

Oh yeah……duh! I guess I should have read the title thread :-[

Do you have a twist rate calculation? 1:14ish?

Thanks,
Chris

Actually, anything 20″ or faster should work fine for the .25 cal version…. ie not an issue with any of the available barrels….

How about scale that model ( from picture) to .22 bullet? I’d like to get few new .22 bullets. There is only one BBT 30 grain available and I have it. Something like 35 grain would be nice. Any thoughts?

Teemu, they already have a .224 version that weighs 38 gr. (same length and tooling used) in the store…. http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/index.php?cPath=24_117 …. It is a copy of the excellent Lyman 225107….

If you mean reducing the length in proportion as well, that would require new tooling…. The weight would be about 33 gr…. Nothing wrong with suggesting a Group Buy based on that idea, of course….

I have that mold also. I was referring this .22 http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product_info.php?cPath=374_375_473&products_id=3348

But liked to see that model which is your first post as same diameter as above link but little bit heavier…like 35 grain  or so on

Just wondering if there could be interested people enough to star GB

I’m still not quite sure what you want, a PB/GC or a BBT…. If a BBT, there is this one…. http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index.php/topic,1127.0.html

If it reaches GB status, it would be made in two diameters, 0.217/0.219″ and 0.220/0.222″…. the same as the 30 gr. BBT was….

If the GC drawing in the OP of this thread was scaled down to 0.220″, it would weigh about 32 gr…. Of course it could be made longer to increase the weight…. but would there be much point with there already being a 38 gr. version in the 225107 ?…. Perhaps you could just get Swede to run a shorter 225107 to get the weight you want?…. He is likely able to reduce the diameter to what you want, it would be worth asking him…. since he already has the tooling….

Since you already have a mould, can’t you just size the 225107 to work in an airgun barrel, maybe in 2 steps?…. all the bushings are available now…. http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/index.php?cPath=104_411

I have those bushings etc. And  I don’t actually need Boat tail. I usually take GC and PB versions on same mold because you never know… Been there and learned that. My .225 37 grain mold is .228 diameter so I won’t able to size it so much i’m quessing… In that .25 BBT I could size them to.249 and there was still something left on that widest part of bullet. that ring. Don’t know which is English word

Just asking if there is enough people who has .22 airgun and want try something else than that mold which is avaible now,and I mean model
if not,thats it.
I know that it takes 10 people to cut new mold.
I propably can get cad-drawings but it could take time because it is middle of summer here in Finland so everybody is on a vacation

If you want a scaled down version of the drawing above, just download it as a .jpeg and use MS Paint to erase and put in new dimensions…. Otherwise, if you have a specific idea in mind, I can do you a sketch for you to start a GB discussion…. The simplest thing for me would be to use my drawing for the 37 gr. BBT and simply change the base to a GC and shorten it to get the weight you want…. I can email the drawing to you…. You can email me to discuss this at….

Lets see… I mean I can send cad’s other place if model/idea dosen’t get enough intrested people here… Just recovering back surgery so I’m not able to do any casting or shooting atleast not this month… Maybe next month…’
So lets look if there is others who also liked to get some .22 mold. I’m open for almost any model. But getting same model and only 7 grain weight difference.. need something new..
