So I'm curious if anyone owns this mold from Arsenal Molds in .22 caliber. According to Arsenal Molds, they can customize the bullet diameters to fit your barrel. The stock LW barrel has a groove diameter of .221". If they can make this mold to .2215, it would be IDEAL for that barrel. I have a Russian Federation barrel with a groove diameter of .220. I think these would be perfect. But I want to know if anyone owns this mold first. If so, how do the slugs perform. What are you shooting them from (platform)? Are you willing to sell some of them so I can test them out? I'll pay for shipping, your time, etc....

I'm considering having him make me a custom mold with a slug designed to fit my barrel. My barrel in .22 caliber is a polygon, 24 inch .215/.220 land/groove diameter, 1:16 twist Russian Federation barrel. I want a slug that is .2205 to .221 in diameter to ensure it seals the grooves. I want the slug to be no more than 36gr. I want it to have drive bands to reduce friction through the barrel. I spoke with Jared from Arsenal molds. He said he can make custom molds, but it's about a $105 more per mold. That's not a problem for me if I can come up with a design that has a good BC, retained energy, and properly seals the grooves of the barrel. I'm going to sit down this weekend and design a slug.
But my curiosity is peaked on this slug. What are you shooting it from (Manufacturer and barrel characteristics), and how has it performed for you? Accuracy (short and long range), velocity, retained energy?
Thanks in advance for your time and feedback.

$105 is cheap for a custom mold coming form someone that has lots of molds I shoot Cast Bullet Asso. matches and have spent a ton of money on custom molds.
Good Luck!

I suppose I should have clarified. It's $105 EXTRA per mold to have custom work done. So the mold would cost me about $230 for a brass, 5 cavity model. But that's still reasonable considering you have unlimited ammo if the mold turns out slugs that perform well.
