Lee 2-Cavity Bullet Mold TL309-230-5R 30 Caliber (309 Diameter) 230 Grain 300 AAC Blackout Tumble Lube 5 Ogive Radius
Lee Precision custom designed a cast bullet that would not only function from a
suppressed AR-15 in 300 AAC Blackout subsonicly, but would not have
problems feeding from a magazine and stabilize with the fast twist
barrels. This bullet has a smaller meplat leading to a long gentle
rounded tangent ogive to ensure that the bullet will feed from a
magazine and be less sensitive to bullet seating depth. This bullet also
has a boat-tail design to help increase the ballistic coefficient,
reducing drag helping the bullet to overcome air resistance in flight.
Some reloaders have even reported that they can seat gas checks on the
boat-tail to help reduce leading when loading this bullet in other
calibers. The tumble lube design of this mold is perfect for shooting
subsonic loads out of the 300 AAC Blackout.
Lee Bullet Molds
are a great choice for reloaders looking for a quality mold at an
affordable price. Lee machines their mold blocks from aluminum making
them rust resistant. Aluminum molds heat up and cool down faster than
iron or steel molds and good bullets can usually be produced only after a
few casts. In addition, aluminum blocks are one-third the weight of
iron or steel mold blocks offering the bullet caster less fatigue during
extended casting sessions. To ensure the best possible bullets, mold
block are CNC Machined for unmatched roundness and size control. Weights
given are Lee's weights with suggested alloy; actual weight may vary
due to the alloy mixture used.

A note from Lee Precision on their bullet molds:
Lee
Precision does not recommend the use of any spray type mold release
products in their bullet molds. The use of such products may result in a
build-up of the release product in the bullet mold cavity, reducing the
diameter of the bullets cast from the treated mold. Instead, Lee
Precision recommends smoking the mold with a wooden match, beeswax
candle or a butane lighter as described in their provided bullet mold
instructions.
