I might consider the boat tails AFTER I get my "217-24-RF-CC2 4 Cavity RG4 HB"  That I have been watching for.

I guess you missed it?.... There are plenty of 2 cavity in stock in brass and aluminum.... Al rarely does another run as long as there are molds in stock....

You might have a looong wait! I'd suggest getting what's available now, you never know when they'll be available again. I'm speaking from experience, I waited more than a year for the .22 wadcutter to be available again.

 Been there bought what was available, then when the one I truly wanted I bought that, and sold the other off within 5 minutes and did not loose on the deal if you count the value of the ammo I cast with it before resale.

Four new ones in three calibers.

Does one happen to be 2.5 caliber length .224?

I believe it is a 2 caliber long in .224, plus the FB version.... so that would be this one.... about 2 gr. lighter with a HP....

About 35 gr. without the boattail, and 0.358" long.... I think I've got that right....  ::) .... Pretty much right in .22 rimfire weights....  8)

There is a ton of BBT's in the pipeline, it was a matter of trying to do first what would likely be the most popular....  ;)
