The results have been very surprising for a cheap mold, averaging 1.5" groups at 100 yards. The bullet nose is designed to ride the lands and fit's my barrel perfectly when powder coated. I plan on having Accurate Molds make me a custom based off this design but with a bigger metplat and more weight. My barrel is a X-Caliber 12" 1-10 twist with 3/4" threads.


    What are you using for lead?

      I'm currently shooting a liberty cosmic which is serviceable. Bowers says if lead becomes a problem just send it to them and they'll clean it and get it back to you in a few days.

        This is who I've been getting bullets from. He'll make whatever mix/hardness and size to caliber you want.

          CoWW, I've tried softer but accuracy suffers greatly.

            Hmmmm. I’ll have to check that out. I have the manual that came with mine and I swear I didn’t see a 3/4” option in there.

              Well darn it...no I'm not sure what I want. I was leaning hybrid due to it be smaller but I really want the best suppression I can get. I will mainly be shooting subsonic rounds.

                  Are you running a SBR or pistol? I sure wouldn’t want that Bowers vers hanging off a 16” Gun.
