Lead Bullets for .223 H&R Topper

[Vacek]

I know I can buy a mold from Lyman, but am wondering if there are any sources for a 55-65 grain flat nose .225 lead bullet. Also, does anyone have experience loading .225 lead in .223's?

I've never ordered from them, but here is one source:

I've seen others offering small diameter lead bullets, but none that would save money over jacketed.

I cast for .30 cal and up. These guys know their stuff on cast bullethttp://castboolits.gunloads.com/s.

I think you're gonna need some Lino or at least water drop wheel weights. I've found when using wheelweights the weight is usually heavier than advertised on the mold.

I'm about to get started casting for .223 using a special order Lee bator mold .225 55 grain GC from Midsouth.
