I have the 3- cav aluminium versions of these moulds. The 225-57 looks like the baby brother of the Saeco #315 . The 225-61 is a clone of the RCBS- bullet. Both drop from the mould at slightly more than .226 in my alloy.
These are pan lubed, with a tumble coat on top. The lube, is my «favourite lube», detailed in the lube section. This seems to be a very good lube. Sages Cu- checks, size/crimped .226. Visual sorting, only.
I have had some luck with these, lately- with my new «pet load», Vectan Ba9- 6,6grs. The accuracy is quite consistent. Ba9 is an extruded, short grain, single base powder that seems slightly slower than Universal.
So far, driving these bullets at higher velocities have not yielded the best results, but limited experience with HV, so far.
Shot at 100m, from prone with support on a bag. Target increments approx. 1 MOA. Velocity about 1650fps.
Included a picture of the Røssler rifle, in the process of swapping barrels.
Cast bullets with the .223 has been slightly frustrating at times. But with the «low node» Ba9- load, it is great fun!
