Another thing, and this is a biggie, its very short length requires that it be shot out of a 1-20 twist or slower barrel if you expect any kind of accuracy. Check your barrel twist before you drop the bucks for a mold. Just sayin'.


That bullet LOVES a 22 twist.
Funny how well some 22 twists will handle heavier bullets, and yet the 18 twists will more typically toss lighter slugs sideways.
