With the NOE 460-350 in my Marlin and Ruger in need to trim my cases to 2.070" to utilize the crimp groove. Ticked me off at first but, once I got a few hundred cases trimmed it really didn't matter.

I have been playing with the NOE 460-350 plain base and simple lube this summer. I noticed a measurable improvement in accuracy when I fill only 2 of the 3 lube grooves. Is this a temperature...

Just yesterday we had an abrupt end to our Mothers Day camping trip in mid Michigan. Found a tick buried in my 5 year olds back and momma was DONE with the festivities. It's amazing how many of the...

It depends on which variation of rear sight you have. The 1898 and 1902 have a dial adjustment and the 1901 moves via a lever but, they all have graduated marks for repeatability. I do not believe...

Not surprised to see others having luck with 4198. My nice little 1899 just loves it with the NOE 311384. These Krags have a way of stealing your heart. I'm sure I will have another follow me...

It's going to be awhile before I see the range. Work has been keeping me so busy the kids look at me like a stranger when I get home. Better days are coming though. I will give a range report when it...

Its a long jump to the lands for sure but, no worse than the Lee. Unfortunately, I was hoping this boolit would be better.

Finally got a chance to play with this a little more. I kept seating the boolits deeper until the feeding improved. At 2.930 oal it started feeding without taking big chunks out of the meplat. It...

I seated the boolit from contact with the lands all the way down to the crimp groove. Seated at the groove it is .150" off the lands and gives maybe a 60% success rate only from the right side if I...

That's what I was afraid of. From the right side it comes out of the magazine but, stops hard on the edge of the chamber. This gun runs the Lee 200 gr RCBS copy like butter so I guess that will...

Hi All,

I recently purchased an NOE 360-230 to use in my Remington 700 35 Whelen after hearing some glowing reports. After making up some dummy rounds I discovered that these things are nowhere...

I have been thinking about the same thing. I have a carbine that produces amazing accuracy with 311284s at 1800 fps. I haven't hunted it because I'm nervous that round nose will only pencil it's way...

Is this a function of the low pressure/velocity I'm running in the 45-70? So far I've only run 4198, 3031, and 2400 at trapdoor levels. I wrote off lube failure because it's working well in the 30-40...

Mike,

It is indeed a flat nose. The Lee is on the left and the NOE on the right. The lee has a meplat around .220", NOE close to .280".

That load has popped up in my search a few times. I'm a little freaked out by the use of fillers though. I've been reading some of Larry Gibson's stuff to get me a little higher on the dacron...

Now that hunting season is ending I will be getting back to load development. As always I'm looking for more accuracy and a little more velocity(1900-2000 is my goal). I also got an early Xmas...

Nonexistent for the first 20 yards and then it started to show. It was steady after that but, not pouring out by any means. By the time I found first blood I could already see him.

I will look into the No1 tricks. The rifle has shown flashes of greatness but then the last 1/3 of the barrel leads and all goes to hell. I find it hard to believe I'm pushing it to hard considering...

This doesn't bother me a bit. I used to buy nothing but Remington and Marlin long guns. Now I don't even consider them. They need to collapse so that someone who cares can take over. Just look at the...

Well done! I had similar hopes with my 77/44. Best it ever did was about 3" at 100 and that was after shiming the bolt. Someone offered me more than I paid for it and away she went but, man are they...

Not to dramatic. Both entrance and exit holes viewed from inside the cavity were 50-60 caliber. I try to shoot them a little higher than a pure heart shot just to make sure I contact the lungs(makes...

Thanks again guys

The similarities to the rcbs is exactly why I selected it. I have been fighting with a ruger No1 in 45-70 that I'm certain has a barrel constriction. This summer when...

Thanks for the kind words guys. Casting certainly has become an addiction for me and this deer has solidified it as more than just a fun hobby for me. My minty little 1899 Krag started it all for me...

I wanted my first post on this forum to be a thank you. I have been combing through the threads of this site for a couple years. So many generous and knowledgeable individuals have provided...
