It is taking so long because I am still in the process of testing. I want to do a lot of testing before they get produced in a larger quantity, either bullets or molds.

If there is anyone who would like to borrow the mold please contact me. It is in the hands of another tester but I will have him send it off to the next person.

I was one who had the mold for a bit and cast some bullets. Nowhere near complete on testing, but Dolomite asked that I post my results so far. I cast these with an alloy that's pretty close to WW with some extra tin, powder coated, and loaded to 2.18".

AR, 14.5" Rainier Ultra Match: Only shot a few, but most jammed in the feed ramp. This is not my sub gun so I didn't modify the feed ramp or attempt different load lengths.

AR, 8" Aero, D063-02: Again, only shot a few. No feed issues at all, and stability was good. Initial accuracy was not bad for a cast bullet at about 5" at 100 yards. Could probably improve on this with a little tweaking.

AAC Micro 7: Obviously no feed issues. Accuracy was decent at 3-4" at 100 yards with Blue Dot and Universal and velocities 950-1000 fps. This will be my new sub gun, so I'll play around some more in the coming weeks and get the group size down. I don't see any reason why this bullet shouldn't shoot 2 moa or less.

I am 2-3 people out from having the mold free for the next person. If you are interested in using this mold to ensure it works for you please contact me.

My life is pretty busy right now but when I get some free time I will try to figure out a way to make these molds available.

And as always, I am still looking for a bullet manufacturer to produce this bullet for sale.

I will be ordering a V2.0 soon. Got a few minor tweaks to get the weight up.

How heavy are you planning to get them? With my alloy, V1 is right at 260 grains.

Maybe 5-7 more grains. Changing the nose profile and moving the bearing surface forward. Hopefully the new profile feeds but if it doesn't then I know what profile to use in the nose.

As soon as I get V2.0 in I will make sure it is good then I will start sending it around.
