I have a new/used NOE 3 cavity 311-230 for the 300blk on the way. This is a PB version. I was told buy the seller it was used to cast about 200-300 boolits.
Just getting broke in if you ask me! The price was right at $40

My rifle is a Ruger American Ranch. 8LBS of Redot is gonna keep this thing running for some time.
Looking forward to playing around with this one.
I have tried this boolit in my rifle before and it shot pretty well with the limited testing I did.
4gr of said RD gave me about 925fps
4.2-4.4gr might be my next try.

I'm keeping my eyes open for a pound of CFE BLK to try out. RX7 and AA1680 are on my list as well
I have lots of other powders on hand to try as well.
IMR4227
W296/H110
Lil' Gun
As well as a ton of fast powders.

Feel free to share what load works well for you with this boolit.

for that weight I load around 10-10.5gr of AA1680 or the same of RL-7. I have some load data for lighter weights for faster powders I use in my Encore pistol barrel but have not tried them in heavier weight boolits as shoot all subs as I have a suppressor for both the AR and the pistol so with the heavier boolits I load to cycle the AR.

Red dot should work well but I don't have load data for any that heavy.
