One 5 cav, all GC, no HP

Rick at lasc dot us

The following pic is from an RCBS iron 2 cav just to give those not familiar with the design something to look at. This really is a great bullet design, even my FA revolver will put these into 3-4 inches at 200m and pack quite the whollop doing it.

Rick

[blaser.306]

How be you make that 12 more to go ! put me down for a 5 cavity all gas checked .

[Quigley284]

Alright, I want to try this one in a new conterder barrel, 357 max. 2 cavity one plain base, one gas check, no hollow points. Thanks, Mike

[BCall]

I'm in, 4 cavity. Thanks, Billy

[swiss 96/11]

I am in for a 5-cavity GC. Great boolit been waiting for this one.

[Wayne S]

I've shot both the RCBS and the SAECO # 356, and I prefer the Saeco,it's a tad shorter which helps in wheel guns, the nose is bore riding , and the crimp groove is beveled.
IF the Redding/Saeco, "new & improved" would allow it I would copy a picture of the 356 and post it for compairson. BUT I can supply NOE with samples if needed

[rockrat]

Wayne S, its up to everybody here, what they want. If they want to go with the Saeco design, so be it. Sounds like a good design.

[cbrick]

I'll stick with the RCBS design. If there is enough interest for the SAECO design I'll consider that, possibly as another group buy. For right now we have begun a list of those that have committed to the RCBS design, would throw a wrench into the gears to switch things up now and start all over. :groner:

Rick

[ihmsakiwi]

Count me in for a five banger with GC. Peter.

[rockrat]

Getting there!!! My 357 max. loves this boolit. Agree, lets keep this to the RCBS clone. The Saeco can be another buy if wanted

[Landric]

I'm in too, 3 cavity 3 GC for me.

Thanks to a deal I worked out with Rockrat I should be shooting this both a Contender and a Handi-Rifle both in .357 Maximum.

[kfarm]

It's only money, besides the wife's on a cruise in the Bahamas with our daughter. Last time she went out of town I bought a new 70hp tractor so put me down for a 3 cavity all GC.

Carroll

[hornsurgeon]

put me down as a maybe.

[rockrat]

6 to go!!!

[wamin]

I'm up for a 5 cav GC, 5 to go!

[cbrick]

I think we need rockrat to start a numbered list in post one of this thread so we can keep track a little easier.

We should, could, maybe, might be at 10 now with one additional still deciding. Let's get a commitment list going like a regular group buy. Post #1 should also include a price list etc.

Rick

[358wcf]

I use this boolit a lot in 35Rem and 358Win, with original rcbs molds. Even had Erik hollowpoint one cavity and remove the GC on another.
I'll gladly acquire another and put it to good use. 3 cavity, please!

358wcf [smilie=1:[smilie=1:[smilie=1:

[Landric]

Rockrat,

Why not start a list of buyers? I always enjoy watching the list grow, and it seems to attract people too.

[cbrick]

List started, thanks rockrat.

For anyone that hunts with a 35 caliber this really is a great bullet design and it's also a perfect candidate for those that wish to HP it. I use it in long range revolver competition and it is a very accurate bullet.

Both of my RCBS 2 cavs of this bullet throw WW at 212 Gr, one of these molds in HP version should be right near 200 Gr.

Rick

[GLL]

I would like a single cavity HP version (with a large HP diameter) plus 3 extra blank pins !

Jerry

[baladel45]

From Spain, I'm interested in buying a 5-cavity one 5gc
baladel45

[30hrrtt]

I'm in for one for sure.
Now to decide how many cav's and if hp'd.

[Landric]

Looks like we are just about there on takers to get into the production line.

[DaveD]

Rockrat,
Put me down for a 5C all GC no HP.
Thanks,
Dave

[rockrat]

THATS 15 !!!!:)

Will contact Swede to get it going.

[kfarm]

If you would change mine from a 3 cavity to a 4 cavity all GC.
Thanks Carroll

[rockrat]

Will do. Emailed Swede, he is going to order the tooling. Its off and running

[ihmsakiwi]

Count me in for a five banger with GC. Peter.

What is RG2 & RG4?

Hate to think I was missing out on something!!

[rockrat]

Never bought one, but IIRC, the RG2 is a two cavity mould and the RG4 is a 4 cav mould, with hollow points for each cavity.

[376Steyr]

I'll take a 5 cavity, all GC, no hollowpoint. Thanks!

[hornsurgeon]

i will not be taking part in this group buy. i just bought one of the extra NOE molds from the ranch dog copy group buy.

[sav300]

Rockrat,please add me for a 2 cavity gc.thanks

[chboats]

Don't even have the gun to shoot it in yet but but me down for a 4 cavity all GC

Thanks
Carl

[GLL]

Al:

It appears I may be the only taker of an HP mould. Could you make the pins the largest diameter reasonable ! I can always machine smaller HPs as needed!

Jerry

[SwedeNelson]

Jerry

Will do.

Swede Nelson

[cbrick]

Hhmmm . . . I'm really surprised this GB is taking off this slowly. This is a great bullet design that shoots very well and it's a remarkable opportunity to get it in the quality of a NOE mold at up to 5 cavities.

Give this one some thought before the chance is gone.

Rick

[hicard]

What would the hp in the RG 4 look like? Small, medium or large?

[coloraydo]

rockrat,
please sign me up for a four cavity, all g/c, no h/p.
Thanks

[SwedeNelson]

This is the pin that we will be furnishing:

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i80/swedenelson/1111-118-RCBS35200FNHP2.jpg


Swede Nelson

[cbrick]

As a suggestion, a HP cavity design from Glen Fryxell that leaves plenty of bullet to punch through game even if the nose breaks off and yet enough cavity to open up. I dubbed it the Fryxell Profile Pin, don't know what Glen calls it.

Fryxell Profile Pin = HP cavity of .150" diameter at the mouth, cavity with 7 degree taper and extended .250" into the bullet with a rounded tip.

With this pin profile I would consider a second mold in two cavity Cramer style.

As a SWAG, the amount of cavity in the drawing would leave less than half the bullet weight or under 100 grains if the nose breaks off.

Just a little something for the grey matter to chew on.

Rick

[GLL]

Al:

I think the 0.200" major diameter pin is asking for trouble on your RG moulds !
It would make little difference to me on the single cavity style pin though since I can machine any profile
I need !

Jerry

[hicard]

Well, since you asked me Al. I would like a little more meat around the hp opening, perhaps not as wide a mouth at the meplat, a stepdown and not quite so deep. I would like to see what cbrick is suggesting.

[SwedeNelson]

Thank you all.
Its a heck of a lot better with input from you.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i80/swedenelson/1111-118-RCBS35200FNHP2.jpg

I like this one a lot better too.

Swede Nelson

[cbrick]

That's great, can I get that pin profile in a 2 cavity Cramer style HP?

If that will be available I'll change my order from a 5 cavity solid to:

One 5 cavity solid.
One 2 cavity Cramer Fryxell Pin Profile.

Rick

[SwedeNelson]

cbrick

That will work.

Thanks again
Swede Nelson

[cbrick]

Thanks Swede, when rockrat updates the list he can change mine to:

One 5 cavity solid, GC
One 2 cavity Cramer Fryxell Pin Profile (both cavities HP), GC.

The list is a little behind but with this it should be at 21 molds and counting. We also need to know when this buy will close and who is collecting the money and a SWAG on production times.

Rick

[PineTreeGreen]

Put me down for a one cavity,GC,no hollow point.

[rockrat]

Will update the list. Buy will close in early Feb. and should be done in April. I will collect the funds and forward to Swede.

[DaveD]

Swede,

Please change my order also from:

One 5 cavity solid, GC

To:

One 5 cavity solid, GC
One 2 cavity Cramer Fryxell Pin Profile (both cavities HP), GC

Thanks!

Dave

[hicard]

I'll go for an RG2 Fryxell HP pins and GC. Also would like it drilled for the digital thermometer probe please. Anything shorter than this will not feed in my 358 Win bolt actions. I really like something in the 225-250 gr weight for those rifles. They absolutely will not take the 180-190 gr weight bullets. FWIW, I don't think NOE makes cramer moulds. I think you would have to order either the RG2 or RG4 moulds. Funds sent 12/8/10

[CENTEX BILL]

ROCK:

Put me down for a 2 cavity gc mold.

Centex Bill

[crabo]

One 5 cvaity GC

[Bear4570]

I think I need this for my 35 Rem Put me down foR four (4) cavity all GC.

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.

[sharpshooter3040]

5 cav gc for me

Thanks
Doug

[bearcove]

I think the hp would be great for my 35 cal contender barrels. I'll wait till after the holidays to decide.

[Mr Peabody]

What's the diameter of this goody supposed to be with a #2 alloy?

[cbrick]

Mr Peabody, the picture (bullet drawing) on the first page of this thread says it's .360".

Rick

[Mr Peabody]

Thanks, I missed that.

[rockrat]

And that is with ww's. #2 should be possibly .0005"- .001" larger in dia.

[Mr Peabody]

Can I get a three cavity mould with one cavity hollowpointed and the other two solid noses?

[rockrat]

Don't see why not. $79 for the 3 cav + $35 for the one HP, then shipping

[cbrick]

rockrat, I may need to bow out of this group buy. I broke my knee in three places yesterday and there will be no work for me for at least a couple of months.

I'll let you know for sure ASAP. Money just got very tight. Dang, I really wanted these molds.

Rick

[bearcove]

Ouch! Hope it heals up good.

[hicard]

cbrick, you have my sympathy. I am still trying to get over my broken leg from August. The doctor just removed two large screws that go through both bones and said he almost took out the plate and the other 4 short screws. Heck it was like having the surgery all over again. I wish he had removed all of it as it swelled so bad that the wound opened up and looks infected now. How did you break your knee?

[rockrat]

cbrick, I understand perfectly. I had knee surgery in May, but only a torn meniscus. Let me know. Plenty of time before it goes in. Hope it goes well for you.

[KennethF]

I want (1) 4 cavity GC with (1) HP.

Ken

[chboats]

rockrat - when do you expect to require the funds? I assume it will be at least a month before expected delivery.

Carl

[Artful]

[cbrick]

The latest schedule From Swede . . .

May
(15) 339 225Gr, RF (RD)
(15) 35 200Gr. RCBS clone
(5) Re-run of NOE 429215 226Gr.

May is a ways off yet but probably good news for me. Broken knee is on the mend and I can now hobble around without crutches, should (better) be back to work well before then.

Rick

[cbrick]

Bump . . .

[Trapaddict]

I've got one of the newer Remmy 700's in 35 Whelen. You guys think this would be a good bullet for that or is this a bit on the light side.

Jeff

[cbrick]

Jeff,

Hodgdon online load data lists weights from 180 gr to 250 gr. My RCBS mold in this bullet casts WW at 212 gr so I would say it should be right in the middle and should work well.

Rick

[30hrrtt]

I'm undecided number 14 on the list.
Please make it a 4 cavity gc.

[bearcove]

Put me down for a RG2 in brass

[chboats]

How are the block sizes scaled relative to the cavity count on the aluminum molds (or are they)? I'm considering a 3-5 cavity. Would these be based on the same block?

They are different sizes for 2,3,4,5 cavity molds. Don't have a 1 cav. The size is approriate for # of cavities.

[JesterGrin_1]

Seth these are NOT Lee Aluminum molds. They are Aluminum but far better quality. But if it is the bullet design that is ok. But it is not the mold.

[SethD]

I know, I have several aluminum NOE molds, yes they are better than lee's but but at the end of the day they are still aluminum which I am not a huge fan of. After getting some brass molds over the past year or so though I like them so much that I am becoming reluctant to get anything else now unless I feel that I just absolutely need a particular design right away and can't get it in brass. Between steel and aluminum I prefer steel and I like brass better than either. In my opinion brass combines most of the best qualities of steel and aluminum as a mold material and looks gorgeous too as icing on the cake. This design is a fairly popular classic and who knows, perhaps it will be offered again in brass sometime. Swede did say that they would still do all brass group buys with an order of 15 or more.

I gave Al a PM about this, I think that only 5 are needed for a small group buy rerun, there are five of us here that want a brass mold.

Also have a question is the fryxel pin the only one being offered for RG molds?

[RugerFan]

Swede said this here: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=109536



We will be offering all brass group buys that will require our
minimum 15 orders to run.


So is it 15 or 5? Would a brass run still be included with the current aluminum run or would it go to the end of the line (to wait for tooling or something)?

[GLL]

rockrat:

I already sent payment for the brass mould ! Do you want me to start over on my order for a 1-cavity HP + 3 extra pins in aluminum?

So is it 15 or 5? Would a brass run still be included with the current aluminum run or would it go to the end of the line (to wait for tooling or something)?

My understanding is that since it requires a different cutting tool now we would need 15 orders to get this one in brass instead of just five. If the same tool could be used he would just run them the same way he has up to now, with brass or aluminum being optional on the same buy. Now each buy must specify whether it is going to be brass or aluminum.

[Suo Gan]

Okay, I really want this one in an RG2 as long as it comes with the Fryxel style pins, is that the case? Will go for an aluminum one I guess. Thanks

Well Suo, it may be your lucky day. I am in for a 5 cav FP and a two cav HP. (both in aluminum)

Since I broke my knee three months ago money's been mighty tight. I really wanted that mold but if you'll take the 2 cav HP I'll scrounge the money for the 5 cav. I just can't make it for both right now, at least not and eat to.

At least this way Swede won't be stuck with an extra mold. Let me know and I'll contact Rockrat and Swede.

Rick, I hope you heal up as that is the most important thing, I feel kind of bad worrying over a brass mold when you have an injury. If yours was an RG2, I'll take your spot.

I am still trying to get clarification of the pin styles. I want the Fryxel pin style if there is an option.

I need to drop out of this. I don't need to buy another mold that I don't have a gun for.

[ihmsakiwi]

Hi Swede,

Thanks and no problems here with ETA. I know it will be a great mold, its my favourite revolver boolit.

[missionary5155]

Good morning

Personal check........

[rockrat]

Thanks for letting me know. Please, see if it has been cashed and let me know.

I have had some send in checks with what mould they wanted, but didin't identify themselves with their Castboolits name, so I didn't know who to associate the payment with. Figured that when everything was done, I could figure out where things would go.

[crawfobj]

Ok, been fighting this one off for too long.

I've never had/handled an RG2 or RG4. If they come with both HP and flat point pins, I'll take an RG2 - all GC cavities.

Rockrat, I'll send you a PM with my info and work out payment.

Thanks,
crawfobj

[Suo Gan]

Don't want to open up a can of worms, but could the paid list be updated? Whenever you get a moment that is...not trying to boss anyone around...Thanks

[rockrat]

Sorry, been out of town on business, got in late last night. Will update everything today. About time to close this and get a list to Swede.

SO, if you are thinking about this, get on it NOW.

[Gun-adian]

Just an FYI, Rockrat....

I paid Swede directly through Paypal on March 26.

Thanks.

Mike.

[dragonrider]

Is this buy still open????? if so I will take a 5 cav. all Gas Checked.

[rockrat]

Dragonrider, added to the list. PM sent

[crash87]

Rockrat, the order with the check went out, with all the appropriaate information, on the 14th of march. If you do not already have it??? Then it is obviously lost, misplaced, delivered and unopened, forgotten whatever. If I dont here from you, soon, I will have to stop payment on that check. :( crash87

Do we know what the boolits will weigh in the HP version?

[dragonrider]

Rockrat, I have decided not to participate in this buy, I don't have a 35 cal. so no sense in buying a mold. Please take my name off the list. Thanks.

[ldmcrook]

I sent NOE an email yesterday hoping to get in on this group buy. Maybe I could take Dragonrider's place?

Please put me down as interested in this mold if there are any extras. I recently got a Model 141 in .35 Remington and would like a good mold to keep it fed. If there are any extras and I had a choice, I'd like a two cavity, GC.
BTW - it looks great.

You and the boys at NOE are bloody :awesome:

Mods, can you move this to closed GB/waiting on shipment?

No moulds today, probably tomorrow, but I get my mail after lunch and PO closed at Noon, so moulds should be going out on Monday.



ALL MOULDS HAVE BEEN SHIPPED! All top punches I forgot to enclose on the 5 cav. have been shipped, except for one that didn't want it.



Please close this thread

That was quick, I got mine in today's mail. got it in the oven baking.

Thanks for all the work that it takes to make a GB happen.

Thanks
Carl

[kfarm]

Got mine today as welland heat treated it this afternoon, with all the storms and rain I'llcast tomorrow. Thanks guys.

[cbrick]

Mine arrived today,

Thanks for all your work and time Mr. rockrat. Very well run group buy.

Rick

[cba257]

Hello,

I didn't know that these molds needed to be heat-treated. Is there directions with the mold? Is that because they are made out of aluminum? Thanks for the info, that newbie thing takes awhile to shake.

Thanks, Cody

[chboats]

cba257 - Just follow the instructions that come with the mold. Temp cycling sets the guide pins.

carl

[kfarm]

I heated up the pot, smoked the mold and made my first pour. ONE out of the four had a wrinkle. Then went on to use up 10lbs of WW with no other defects, must have cast over 300 all dropping at about 209gr out of WW. All looked good execpt that first one and all dropped by just opening the mold but several did require a little bump. What a great mold to use and a cavity sure makes a pile in a hurry. Thanks to NOE and all the guys that make these buys possible. This is number 6 NOE and I have 2 more on order.:guntootsmiley:

[cba257]

Thanks for the info chboats. I received mine today, can't wait to test drive it.

[Quigley284]

Arrived yesterday, thanks for your hard work. Mike

[rockrat]

Hope everyone enjoys their moulds


MODS----please move to archive

[Suo Gan]

Got mine today, thanks for running this one.

[280Ackley]

Boy this is a nice one. Preheated 5 or 6 cycles, apply the bull lube and I was casting good boolits. If this one shots as good as it casts, it's going to be one of my favorites.

http://castboolits.gunloads.com/imagehosting/thum_81814dbca81a1248c.jpg (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=716)

Was RCBS boolit day. You may notice that there are some 30-150's in the bunch.

got home from the big Island and mine was waiting. Swede's quality is still something great, all I have to do is get a 35. Maybe I'll borrow the Toads.

Rockrat,thanks .Mold arrived today.So I washed and heat treated.Then set to casting.Had two casting sessions and works well.thanks

Got mine sometime in the last few days,don't know,I was in hospital with a blood clot in my leg from my ankle to my groin,off work for awhile,can't do much,taking rat poison ;) (Warfarin)to thin blood.
Bloody nice mould but..........can't wait to shoot these out of the ol Winnie .356

[Dthunter]

How does a guy get in on these mould buys?
This should be a great bullet for my .35 Rem Marlin & .357mag. Rifle

[cbrick]

This buy has been closed for 8-10 months now & the last time I checked Swede had no more of these. I don't know if there is any current plans to do a re-run or not.

Check the active group buy and group buy discussion threads for what is happening now, if you see something you like/need/want just add your name. Once it gets made you'll get it. I just got another incredible 5 cav from Swede yesterday, a work of art it is.
