NOE 225-57-FN if its a 223 boltgun chamber, NOE 225-67-FN if its a 5.56 chamber, alloy and hardness dependent on twist and how fast I want it to go.

I only have one, the original Lee Bator. It works fine in my 223, but not so good in my 22 hornet. I have never tried it in my 22-250, I load it to 4,000 fps.

my favorite is the one where the nose fits my rifle's throat.
One of my old style Bator molds fits my CZ527 (222rem) throat well, I cast them with 94-3-3.
