Noe RCBS 32-98 swc clone?

[BigboreShooter]

Has anybody tried NOE copy of rcbs 32--98gr-swc? Is it an exact copy?
Does it shoot as well as the RCBS version?
I've been shooting a lot more 32's since the 22 shortage/price hike.Thinking about getting a 3 or4 cavity for higher production.

Mihec's version (pointier nose) shoots great in my TT-patern pistol. I have the NOE version in an RG-2 but have yet to try any.

I have two of the RCBS molds and a new, but unused, five cavity NOE version of the same mold. I was not sure they were identical so I took one of the as-cast RCBS bullets and put it into one of the cavities of the NOE mold and, with moderate finger pressure, it nestled into the cavity as though it had been left there from a previous casting session. Short answer - if they are not identical you would have a hard time proving it.

I have not cast any bullets with the NOE mold and cannot attest to their accuracy but the RCBS bullet is the most accurate bullet in all of my various .32s as tested from a Ransom rest.

The RCBS molds are a joy to cast with and I hope to do as well with the NOE mold.

Good luck.
