Excellent molds sir. Only 22 cal mold I have right now is Lyman 225438. I use it for 22 hornet with unique powder. I will soon powder coat them and run gas check with 2400 powder. There’s just something cool about casting for 22 center fire rounds. I can shoot my hornet for so darn cheap.
@@cw2a Dare I say when loaded down to 22 mag power it’s a great squirrel bullet. My unique loads are like 2000 fps. My bullets are BHN of 16 and coming out at just around 45 grains with gas check. I only make head shots on the squirrels with cast hornet rounds.
@@cw2a That’s an awesome idea. I hadn’t even considered using powder coat and gas check to push soft lead faster. Wow I might try that with my unique loads bumped down slightly. Maybe 1600 fps. I’ve used powder coat to shoot 125 grain soft lead round nose flat point bullets to 1000 fps in 38 special.
@@jw-sigp2258 yuppers!! The GC helps offset lil higher pressures and PC shields from leading. Great combo! Some think PC replaces a GC it does NOT. It will allow most hand guns to not need a GC. But pc does little for pressure and thats the real issue as velocity increases.
Good day in the shop 🤠👍✝️...just a wild guess..Boost bottles 🤣 sitting here drinkin one watching this vid looking a the cap 😎then I peeled the wrap off...😜
I think you will like that 65gr MP. I really like mine in the AR rifles. My Savage with the Criterion barrel is too tight and too short of a throat to use them in right now. I only have about 50rnds through the barrel right now. But once it gets a bunch of rounds I will revisit it in that gun.
Beautiful Bullets, I've heard that Lyman gets their gas checks from Hornady. Ya sure gets a lota casts out of a 20lb of alloy with those tiny bullets. 😁👍
Good thing you didn’t show the casting process. Might have hurt my precious fefee’s:) I’ve never tried casting for 233/556. Bet they’re potent for small game
I missed that! Happy birthday! Nice molds! Sounding a bit jaded with the YT Nazis! Understandable. #2 mold is a beaut! Very distinct lines. Thanks for the bamboo tip! See ya! Oh yeah, what was the weight on the M&P? Oh oh yeah yeah awesome army green! Also that APP is pretty handy!
There are a number of reasons for use of a Gas Check. One most think of is velocity and yes thats part of the equation. But more precisely its pressure. As pressures increase a GC is a real benefit. Another other is quality of the base. A GC offers better more consistent base and this is a very important part of a accurate bullet. I have not been able to get good accuracy from a bullet designed for a GC, when a GC is not in place. So as a rule, if a bullet calls for a GC its getting one if my load really requires one or not. Simply because I find better accuracy with one. Since PC I only rarely buy a GC designed bullet as most if my pressures and velocities combined with powder coat, do not require a GC. Hope that helps more then confuses.
Yes, sometimes. Powdercoat does not replace gas checks. But what it does is it raises the velocity threshold where a gas check is required. So to generalize, regular revolver, cartridges, magnums or otherwise one powder coated will not require a gas check. But, I find better accuracy when a mold is cut for a gas check, when I use a gas check. When I cast a rifle bullet, generally, they're all checked. I will powder coat it and gas. Check it. I gas check, better handles the higher pressures found in rifle loadings.
The reloading press I am using to seat the gas checks, is a old O frame Pacific. The little press I use for sizing is a LEE APP press. Hope this❤ helps!
RUclips is playing their games again they list comments as 2 and yet there was 5 and I'm getting that spinning wheel thing again throughout the intire video and 10 views 8 likes I first started watching when it was posted stopped half way through started it over and now it plays fine 35 minutes later
Huh? Sorry man. I often see 3-5 comments but none show then I go to studio & I think most show up. So I have NOT BEEN TRUSTING any but Studio. Thanks for watchin'♥️🙏♥️🙏
Great job CW! They all look really nice buddy! 😊🇺🇸🔥👏👏

You are quite welcome Dwayne! Hope ya enjoyed it!! ♥️🙏♥️🙏
Good looking bullets thanks for the info
Thank you man!! I appreciate that! 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️
Good morning CW 👍👍👍☕️🙏
Morning Al🤟🏽👍🏼🤟🏽👍🏼
Those are some good looking projectiles
Thanks man! ♥️🙏♥️🙏😜😝🤘🏼🤟🏽
I was after that Lee mold but now I have an RCBS & NOE so it's hard to justify another with the low volume I need. They sure look good CW.
I didnt have a 55 g. Price was too good to resist!! ♥️🙏♥️🙏
Yet another great video CW.
Thanks Ricci. 🤘🏼🤟🏽👍🏼😝
Actually, the specification for Lee molds are based on a Lead/Tin alloy, it actually states that on the product sheet that comes with their molds.
🤟🏽👍🏼💪🏼

100%!! Good for small quantities & small calibers!! Peanut butter jars are favorites tho!!!
@@cw2a yep PB jars heavy duty
Wait it's actually Pb 😅

Some nice looking bullets buddy
Thank you my friend!! 🙏👍🏼🙏👍🏼♥️
No problem cw
Those look great!
Thank you man!! Coated as they are the GC went right on nicely. Just keep pc on thin side. ( extra sifting)
Great video , I am interested in how that MP bullet does at the range , Could you do a accuracy test ?
I will for sure. Just may be a while as we are into cold weather and Im not as able ta get to the range.
@@cw2a How Hard is Linotype ? How much pressure can it handle ?
VERY COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL pard !

@@cw2a After all these comments, I think I'll scope that 10" Hornet bbl at last and get a mold for it. With Unigue it oughta be like shooting a .22LR.
I really like that silver powder coat
💪🏼🤘🏼👍🏼. Its a good coater!
Good stuff

Thanks for the mention ----

I have that Lee mold. I just need some gas checks for those and 44’s.
Ill send some!! ♥️🙏♥️🙏
@@cw2a thanks Brother, but you’ve got enough on your plate right now. I’ll order some from Sage’s after Thanksgiving.
Nice work, CW. Lots of work involved when you add gas checks into the mix. 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸
Sure enough!! 😝😝😜♥️🙏♥️🙏
It's almost like a work out

If it's harder than wheel weights why would it need a gas check ?
There are a number of reasons for use of a Gas Check.

Another other is quality of the base. A GC offers better more consistent base and this is a very important part of a accurate bullet.

Since PC I only rarely buy a GC designed bullet as most if my pressures and velocities combined with powder coat, do not require a GC.
Hope that helps more then confuses.
Will this mold work for the Hatsan BT65 22cal air rifle?
USUALLY a standard designed bullet isnt best in a air gun. But Im not an authority on such. Sorry I do not know for certain.
Thanks for watching'
If you powder coat do you still need the gas check?
Yes, sometimes. Powdercoat does not replace gas checks. But what it does is it raises the velocity threshold where a gas check is required. So to generalize, regular revolver, cartridges, magnums or otherwise one powder coated will not require a gas check. But, I find better accuracy when a mold is cut for a gas check, when I use a gas check.
When I cast a rifle bullet, generally, they're all checked. I will powder coat it and gas. Check it.
I gas check, better handles the higher pressures found in rifle loadings.
@@cw2a Nice. For rifle calibers do you still cast and size .001 of an inch oversize? So .308 would be .309? Or for Rifle is the diameter nominal?
@@andycaldwell4828 generally speaking in 30 caliber, I go at least 310. And I go at least 1000 over usually I'm 2000s sometimes more.
@@cw2a Awesome thanks for the advice!
What press is that?
The reloading press I am using to seat the gas checks, is a old O frame Pacific.
The little press I use for sizing is a LEE APP press.
Hope this❤ helps!
Can those bullets be used on .22 air rifle?
I know some conventional cast bullets are used in some PCP air guns. But I do not know that these are a good choice or not. Thanks for watching.
@@cw2a thanks for your reply. I was thinking of buying the LEE mould to make pellets for my .22 air rifle not sure if this will work or not
Id say no. But I know that NOE (Night Owl Enterprises) makes mold for air guns. Have ya looked at there molds?
Twice you say 255-55 what it said was 225-55
Apologies. Im a 45 Guy to the core... 😜💥❤️🩹🙏💥😜
