Oh ya! Beerd, I am so in. I'll take a five cavity GC with one cavity hollow pointed. The Ranch Dog designs are the best and Al Nelson's renderings of them are superb. My .358's and my .35 thank you for this, I missed out on the last one.

Do you need a PM sent to you?

[miestro_jerry]

I have used this bullet in my contenders, they work well, but back the load off a little.

Question, has any one RD about this, he did a lot of R&D for these bullets, he should get some credit for his work.

Jerry

[SwedeNelson]

miestro jerry

I agree with you.
Michael Reamy did a great job on the
Ranch Dog line of bullets.
And I thank him very much for letting
us run them in a standard lube groove
variation.

Swede Nelson

[Tony65x55]

Jerry, it says in the first post these are being run with Michael's consent. Michael (Ranch Dog) did a masterful job designing these fabulous boolits and Al's NOE executes Michael's designs far better than Lee ever did. Anyone who has never seen a Ranch Dog boolit meet deer hide is missing an experience. Thanks for bringing this up. Michael Reamy is only started to be recognized as a great bullet designer

I want an RG2 mold with the hollow point pins set configured for gas check on both cavities. What do I need to do now??? Send money or wait for a bill?

Duckhunter

[Beerd]

Duckhunter, you're in.

Now we watch this thread and wait.
The last I read this mould is scheduled to be cut in June with delivery in July. Sometime in May (?) this buy will close and SwedeNelson will post details on sending payment to Night Owl Enterprises to confirm your order. That way NOE isn't stuck will a bunch of custom moulds that someone wanted in January but couldn't find the funds for in June. A pretty good deal when you compare it to some of the Lee special group buys that were a year or more between writing a check and casting a bullet. And the quality of these NOE moulds are second to none.

Put me in for a 4 cavity mold with 2 pb and 2 gc...Please Wes..Let me know when to send funds....

Beerd would it possible to remove me from this buy and put me on the NOE 358429 buy with same RG2 w/GC? I beleive the 358429 will be a better bullet for my needs. If for some reason it will cause problems ie. number of orders etc. I will stick to my word and get this mold. I do not want to upset the cart, and possibily create confusion. Please let me know if it is OK or not, then remove my name and enter it on the 358429 buy or just remove my name and I will go there and do it.

Probably a dumb question but would this work in a 94 marlin 357 ?

[Beerd]

Probably a dumb question but would this work in a 94 marlin 357 ?

That's not something I can answer with any authority.
You probably should ask it up in the LEVERGUN portion of this board.
..

[Hurricane]

Probably a dumb question but would this work in a 94 marlin 357 ?

You are on you own for a suitable powder charge but the overall length of the cartridge (using 38 Special cases) would be the same as a regular 357 cartridge. It should feed through the rifle action. My old Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook has loading data for both 357 Magnum and 38 Special with bullets up to 195 grain weight. I am sure the newer books will have loading data for heavy bullets also. I think it would be best to use the data from the 38 Special loads for starting loads. Be very careful if you work up from there. It would be an interesting project. Trim all cases to the same length (1.149 or 1.150 inches) to ensure good crimps and a not to long overall length. 357 cases are too long to use with this bullet. Good luck and post the results if you try it.

With that said, this heavy bullet may restrict the velocity you can get out of the 38 Special case. The .359-190 RF would probably be best used in the 35 Remington or larger case. For the 357 Magnum there are several tried and true bullets you can use. A few would be 358429 (170 gr.), 358156 (155 gr.), 358665 (158 gr.). Any one of these three will serve you well.

[Beerd]

smithgar3840,

The consensus is that when loaded in a 357 case this bullet is too long to function in the Marlin 1894.
I wouldn't be surprised if you loaded some in 38 Spl brass to +P+ pressure, the longer carbine barrel would get them going as fast as a 357 revolver.

Keep watching this thread, some time around the beginning of May (?) this buy will close and Swede will post details on where to send funds. Production is tentatively scheduled for June with delivery in July.

Would love to get in on this GB,does anybody know if this would work in a T/C contender 357 Herrett barrel.Any imfo would help. Thanks Swiss 96/11

[Beerd]

Swiss, thanks for the bump :grin:
My Herrett barrels are .30's so I can't say for sure, but this bullet has earned a good reputation in the .357 Maximum so I don't see why it wouldn't be just as effective in the .357 Herrett.

What are the intended firearms for the double lube groove? Which groove is for the Marlin 336 in 35 Rem? If there is a thread on the design & development of this boolit I'd appreciate being steered toward it.

Thanks, Ed

[Heavy lead]

Please remove me from this group buy, I'll be leaving the board soon and want no loose ends.

[Beerd]

Ed,

ya know, that is a good question.
looking back to the first NOE group buy for this bullet I see you didn't get your answer there either.
hopefully this time the right person will chime in.

[swiss 96/11]

Count me in for a 5-Cavity mould. Gas Check Swiss 96/11

[SwedeNelson]

Beerd, Ed k

Its my understanding that one crimp groove
is for Lever guns (Marlin) and the other is for
revolvers. Will try to confirm that and get back
to you.

Swede Nelson

[Beerd]

I found the answer.
As designed by Ranch Dog for use in Marlin lever actions, the front crimp groove is for loading in the 35 Rem and the lower groove is for the 356 Win.
..

[Ed K]

Thanks for looking into that. I've been skeptical of multi-lube groove molds thus far however Ranch Dog molds do seem to benefit from quite a reputation. In the 35 Rem would one fill the lower crimp groove with lube?

I'm not against having to get a mold for each gun if it means performance is improved. Sure you can remove any size nut with a single Crescent wrench... in theory. :)

[Beerd]

In the 35 Rem would one fill the lower crimp groove with lube?

You wouldn't have to but that is always an option. Kind of depends on which way you think shoots best in your rifle.

Hey Beerd,

I'm going to have you drop me from the group buy. My dad picked up an original RD mold at a gun show.

2ndAmendmentNut

you have been added to the list of interested buyers
cost for NOE moulds is in the original post
the last info we have is that production is scheduled for July with delivery in August
Swede Nelson will call for payment sometime before that

I don't know about loading these in a 357 mag. Like you, I am going to have to wait until I get my mould and see.
..

[2ndAmendmentNut]

Thanks Beerd.

Hmm… If Swede Nelson can find a way to put the crimp groove close enough to the nose so that it will fit in a 357 case without having to trim it short I am definitely in on this buy.

[Beerd]

2ndAmendmentNut,

We can get this bullet set up for a gas check or a plain base.
We can get it hollow pointed or not.
We can get any combination of the above, HP GC, FP PB, etc.

However the basic design can't be changed. The number of grease grooves is fixed, the two crimp grooves have to stay where they are, the meplat is set at .256".

What firearm are you loading the .357 for?
..

[2ndAmendmentNut]

I guess I misunderstood. You stated that you were going to have to “wait and see” in answer to my question about trimming 357 brass. Which lead me to believe the mould was still being designed. I see I was wrong now (new to the group buy's). I intend to use these or at least try to use them in a Ruger GP100, and a Marlin 94. Ideally I will not have to trim the brass short like what I have to do with 358429s.

Breed, am learning more about this cast boolit thing and I would like to change my order. I originally ordered "18. Duckhunter ........ RG2 GC"; I would like to change this to a 4 cavity mold with 2 plain base boolits and 2 gas checked boolits.

I traded for a few boolits from the original mold and I don't see the need for a hollow point boolit any longer.

[Beerd]

Duckhunter,
Gotcha

Any idea what the HP boolits will weigh from these moulds? 170ish?

Well, I better jump on board too. 5-C Gas Check for me.

[Beerd]

DaveD, you're in.

[2ndAmendmentNut]

Beerd,

Looks like a great design, and I know I am going to regret this, but could you please remove me from the group buy.

[Beerd]

2ndAmendmentNut
OK, if that's what you want.
But if you change your mind let us know.
..

[2ndAmendmentNut]

Beerd,

I apologize for my indecisiveness, but I am obtaining a 35rem in a trade and would like to be put back on the list for a 5-Cavity GC.

Thanks

Thank you.

[Ed K]

Something I could not find on either this thread or the thread introducing and describing NOE molds was block size: Are they scaled up for each cavity increment, are they in 2, 4, 6 cavity increments, etc?

[Suo Gan]

Something I could not find on either this thread or the thread introducing and describing NOE molds was block size: Are they scaled up for each cavity increment, are they in 2, 4, 6 cavity increments, etc?

Ed, The ones I have are scaled up with each number of cavities.

[Beerd]

Suo Gan, Thank you.
I thought as much, but only have one NOE mould in my collection.
..
edit
info from Swede Nelson:
1 and 2 cavity are 2" long
3 cavity is 2 3/4" long
4 cavity is 3 1/2" long
5 cavity is 4 1/4" long

[Ed K]

Thanks for the reply. Thinking about getting in on this. It would be my first NOE.

[Suo Gan]

Thanks for the reply. Thinking about getting in on this. It would be my first NOE.

They are quite good. There is no real prep involved like there is with a Lee mold. The directions say to bring them up to temp three or four times, each time letting them cool between. I have done that, (and cleaned the mold in a boiling bath of dishwasher detergent) and they have all thrown great boolits! It is not an aluminum thing, it is a Lee thing.

[Bear4570]

Glad I saw this, if there is still time, put me down for a 4 cavity GC solid.

Thanks. Just pickuped up a marlin 35 rem. Looking forward to this.

[Beerd]

Bear,
plenty of time left
thanks for the bump
..

[2ndAmendmentNut]

In no real rush, but any idea on when the moulds should ship?

[Beerd]

NOE delivery schedule as of 7/17/2010 can be found here:

Reading back over the thread here and it seems that I may have missed a request for payment. If so, where should I send it and to whom? I don't want to miss this one.

3364Deer,
did I get that right?
..

[3364Deer]

Beerd, I just sent you a PM which should clear up any questions that you (or I) may still have outstanding. Please PM me with your response. On behalf of all of us that have ordered this Ranch Dog inspired 359-190-RF Boolit Mould...Thank You for organising this Group Buy. My two Marlin 336's in 35 Remington are looking for some cast boolit cannon fodder.

Bye the bye, when do you anticipate that these moulds will be manufactured?

3364Deer

[Beerd]

3364 Deer,

Production & delivery of this mould is scheduled for September.
Since making bullet mould is a sideline for Night Owl Enterprises this schedule is subject to change.

I expect Swede Nelson, the real honcho of this buy, will soon post details on payment for all of our orders.
Keep watching this thread for info.
..

[hunter2]

Really need to know how much I owe. Will be out of touch for a couple of weeks and don't want to miss out. Any idea? thanks

[Beerd]

hunter2,

don't send any money yet, but with shipping you can budget around $135 for your RG4.

Payment entered via paypal. I can't wait to get my hands on this mold. Thanks for making it available.

[PineTreeGreen]

Got a new .357 Maximum barrel coming from Match Grade Machine to fit my Contender. This looks like a good addition to my mold collection.
A 1 cavity gc is what I want. And since it closes tomorrow got to get this in now.

Better let Swede know with a PM. He may not be watching this thread real close.

Got you on the list and PM sent.

Thanks

Al, payment sent via PayPal. PM sent.
Thanks,

[Balhincher]

Is it too late to join this group buy? I'd like a five cavity with three gas check and two plain base and one of the gas check cavities with hollow point.

[SwedeNelson]

Balhincher

PM sent.

Swede Nelson

[2ndAmendmentNut]

Thanks SwedenNelson for running this group buy. I sent my payment a few days ago, and am now eagerly awaiting this moulds arrival.

And thank you Beerd for honchoing this buy.

[dragonrider]

If I am not too late I would take a 5 cavity gas checked, NO hp

[Beerd]

technically this buy is closed
of course technically this started out as a small group buy for 5 moulds
somehow it grew to where now there are over 20 orders
I don't see how one more would hurt
there are two moulds in front of this one in the production schedule

send your request in a PM to Swede

..

[hammerhead357]

SwedeNelson, I mailed a USPS money order for my mould today. Thanks for running this...Wes

[Whelen B]

Mailed my MO away at noon on the 11th this month. Still no confirmation of receiving my payment as my postal code doesn't appear yet on the paid list. I'm guessing the next update to the list will include it.

Just thought I'd comment here for the record just in case there was a problem - as production will be starting soon I should imagine.

[SwedeNelson]

dragonrider

PM sent - Sorry to take so long.

Thanks
Swede Nelson

[dragonrider]

Replied, Payment on the way

Thanks

[hollow-point]

is this a good feeder in a 1894c 357 marlin?

[Hurricane]

Hollow-point,

The nose profile looks like it should be a good feeder, it works good in 35 Remington. You should be able to load this boolit in 38 special cases and use the crimp groove on the boolit. If you use 357 Mag cases you will need to crimp on the ogive in order to have a cartridge short enough to work through the action. The Ranch Dog Molds site has a discussion on this bullet titled "The 100 Year Hunter" that includes his testing of this bullet in the Marlin 1894 357 rifle as well as the Marlin 336. He cautions that you need to keep the OAL to 1.59 inches for it to work through the 357 action. He will put more data on the site as it becomes available. Whether or not this heavy a bullet is a good idea for the 357 Mag or the 38 special is another question. Tested loading data will be hard to find.

[2ndAmendmentNut]

Hey I was just curious if there was any word on a due date? I understand things happen, and I am in no real rush, but deer season is fast approaching and I was hoping to have a cast load already developed for my 35rem.

[Beerd]

schedule as of October 26:

Re-run of NOE .359-190 RF (On the mill)

[Duckhunter]

[Beerd]

[smilie=w:[smilie=w:
great news!
..

[JSimpson65]

Just received a USPS shipping notification from Al that I assume is from this Buy.

Time to warm up the pot!

[upr45]

Mold came today, it's beautiful!

[Duckhunter]

You know that I would be out of town when my mold arrived. OK, go ahead and tell me how beautiful it looks and how great it cast. I'll be there this weekend and I will fire up the pot. I can't wait to get to it.

[hunter2]

Got it today....thanks Will be able to try it out before the weekend, HAHAHAHAHA Had to rub it in. You will be pleased with it...

[Beerd]

Yup, mine arrived yesterday and it's a good one!
Thanks Swede!
..

[Mntngoat]

looks good thanks!

ML

[rockrat]

Cast some last night. Load them today and may see how they do, once this storm passes by :)

[izzyjoe]

just got mine yesterday, and man it's a thing of beauty, wow i can't wait! thanks swede. [smilie=p:

[2ndAmendmentNut]

Just got mine! Perhaps will do a little casting over the weekend. Thanks!

[Tony65x55]

Still waiting for the mailman to bring me mine. Canada Post is sooooo slow...

[Landric]

I was in on this buy, then I dropped out because of other buys I was in, and then I ended up buying one of Swede's leftovers (a 2 cavity 1PB 1GC), so I guess I should have just stayed in on it to begin with. Now just waiting on the mailman to deliver.

[Tony65x55]

Rapture...joy! It finally arrived in Kanuckistan and it's beautiful. Thank you Beerd for doing this.

[Beerd]

Tony,
You are welcome, and thank you for jumping in at the beginning.
These are some pretty looking bullets!
Hope they work well for you and for everyone else who participated in this GB.
