Actually, yes, it is. When you mold bullets you want them .001-.002 over the intended use. If they come out a little big, run them through the .224 sizer.

Q: Is this the tumbler lube type mold?

Yes, but; there's a caveat with these, namely that using alox or 45-45-10 they tend to be going a bit fast and you must use a copper gas check to prevent fouling. On the other hand, supposedly if you use the Hi-Tek lube coating, which is a baked polymer process, you don't need a gas check at all and fouling is negligible. Haven't tried the coatings yet but I hear good things. Also, if you're using these in an AR, they need to have a COL of at least 2.150" to prevent jams. In bolt rifles, it's less fussy. I know this is way more info than you asked for, but there's too many people out there who will either give extremely short answers with no explanation "why", or the sort who treat others like they're stupid just because they lack information. Better too much info than none at all, you can always sort it out later when you need it.

Q: Can this mold be used to make .22lr bullets?

No it will not work for 22lr a 22lr is smaller at the base of the bullet it is tapered there's a mold I have seen on eBay that is for 22lr hope this helps

Q: Can I go straight from cast to lube to case or will i also need gas checks? anyone know any good methods? first time caster?

If you don't push them too fast ( over 1200-1400 fps ) and cast them from wheel weights and drop them into cold water from the mold, you cand get by without gas checks. It is a good idea to use them anyway. I use the Lee lube and size kit. Tumble lube the bullit, then gas check and size in one operation. Hope this helps.
