Question 1

anyone try this for 22 magnum

Accepted Answer

Do use this bullet you must have and understand your loading data and how changes in power, bullet weight, and primer type can effect pressers. Controlling them I use this in .22shorts .22LR, .221 fireball and .223 REM but I have been loading and casting for around 45 years I check my speeds as I make changes In some rounds I make this into a Hollowpoint I have a small lathe that I use for this as this cut must be the same every time as each bullet must be the same I have the supplies and a tumbler set up to Teflon coat the hollowpoints as they are very fast rounds keep in mind always stay in safe margins Your lead mix can help a bullet pushed to higher speed. Watch out for misleading data always start out with a speed in the low end and creep up very slowly a very small amount of power can make a big difference at higher speeds.  In smaller calibers a very small amount .001 GR can be very big DANGER! HOT Roding your loads is not in any way recommended by me!

Question 2

Can i load .223 with the bullets from this mold? I'm a newbie i wont lie

Accepted Answer

Not only will you need to run them through a bullet sizer die but you will need to use a bullet lube or powder coat to prevent leading the sizer die (I powder coat) and your barrel. To get some good information on using cast bullets do a YouTube channel search for “Elvis Ammo” or “Fortune Cookie 45LC” 😎👍😎👍

Question 3

Does  it come with handles?

Accepted Answer

Nope

Question 4

Has anyone used this mold for an Air Rifle? Like a .22 or .25 caliber?

Accepted Answer

A .22 LR or .223 Win and a .22 AirRifle are not the same actual diameter.  Air guns vary in size by manufacturer but generally the projectiles of a .22 AirRifle are .2200 at most.  I have some crosman .22 cal guns which I purchased airgun slugs for ( similar to a lead bullet) in .218 cal and they fire well from some but are dangerously tight in one.  You need to measure your exact barrel.  A pin micrometer is ideal but I’ve used calipers to measure the bore.  A better way might be to use Cerrosafe.  It is a low melt alloy that you melt and pour in a prepared barrel to measure its chamber then remove and measure.  This should be done according to the proper instructions and formulas for time and temperature.
