For those of you that cast and shoot 300 Whisper/BLK, Midway and Lee have teamed up to make a 2 cavity 230 grn mold with bullet ogive and crimp groove made for the 300 Blk loading. Looks like its going to retail around $30 IIRC.
Until now, the best 300 Blk designed heavy mold was the NOE 247 grain mold, I think that some have determined it might be a bit close to the ballistic limits of a 1 in 8 twist, so the 230 grn might be just the ticket for the current standard in 300 Blk twist rate.. And the 230 is about 1/3-1/4 the price of the NOE.
