    NOE molds wow

    I received my .44 300 grain fn gc after getting the mold seasoned I started casting and I was totally amazed. First I was nervous since it was was aluminum my only experience with aluminum is lee. But it there is no comparison. the bullets jumped out of the mold and looked great the gas checks fit great. I can't wait to get these loaded up and shoot them. If you have been on the fence about the molds Swede puts out I say get one they are top notch and he doesn't mess around he gets your money and gets the mold shipped asap

    I got my first NOE mold last week. Like you, I was very impressed. Not just with the way the bullets dropped but also the consistency between cavities. The extra quality features were an added bonus.

    They will definitely get more of my business.

    Yeah, I've become a huge NOE fan. I'm ditching most of my Lyman moulds and getting custom NOE ones that cast exactly what I want instead of having to live with "off the shelf". Yes, there is a wait, but a custom NOE mould isn't much more expensive than a Lyman or RCBS standard design. I was hesitant about aluminum too, having had just so-so experience with Lee moulds, but NOE moulds are top notch in every way.

    Be careful guys. Once you get the hand of an NOE mould you'll be trolling the group buy thread for more! They are addicting.
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    stubshaft you are lying. It is not NOE molds that are addicting. It is good quality. We just happen to be lucky that right now they are one in the same. BBD DO NOT try any accurate molds or BRP molds. You will find yourself going, 'with all the overtime I work I can completely swap out my stock molds.' Not that I am doing that.

    Me a BCall got on a boolit trade & he set me up with some 77gr & 100gr boolits from a BRP mold , have`nt had the chance to make em fly but just looking & measuring they can`t help but shoot if I do my part !!!!

    Hey GP. I have one of those too. I am hoping to pour some lead this weekend. BaBore makes real good looking and casting molds too. I say we are blessed with some amazing people here.

    hey No problem I was thinking you should have received your new mold by now. Have you had a chance to Cast with it yet? Just curious to see what your bullets weigh my are a bit heavier than I thought they would be but I'm happy about it.
