I asked myself the same question when I first started casting just a year or so ago.

What sold me on "going for it" was calling my local metal scrap yards. I can get WW for .65/lb and Hospital...

Wow, I am sorry. I forgot all about this thread!

I was going to report back my results, but I didnt...

I can tell you that my test rounds were accurate, my M&P 9 ate them without hesitation...

So you were measuring an empty cavity?

I prefer the shelf, but there is no doubt about my pace having to speed up. I used to be able to take more time watching all the colors of the sprue change till I cracked it open... Now if I do that,...

The sportsman's warehouse out here in Utah, routinely gets in Unique and Bullseye... they almost always have Hodgdon powders though... unless you want 4756 :|

Just when I can find powder every...

Had a chance to cast some boolits finally.

I have to agree with VHoward. I kinda like the heatsink and I kinda don't. Seems like it takes me a lot longer to get rolling, and its putting me on...

Did about 100 of these tonight. They dropped at .3595" (extremely consistent I might add) and I sized them down to .358"

At .358" it will pass the plunk test in my M&P9 Full Size and Compact from...

NOE moulds are sweet! You'll love it, worlds apart from the standard commercial brands out there. You won't feel bad about the hole in your wallet once you've got it up to temp and boolits are...

LOL

Not going to lie, I like being able to get my moulds directly from Al, but, my wallet.... Well....

Thanks Taz!

Stopped by NOE and brought this home :)

I'll be casting up a few to test chamber.

Taz, what are your bores slugged at? My M&P9 is .3555 and even my 686 SSR is .3555, I am planning on going with .358 for the ELCO design since .358 has been working in my 686 with the same bore......

I am actually picking up my ELCO TC today from NOE :)

Thanks for all the info, I knew most of what was going on... just got my gears going and I like to discuss and look at different designs and...

Oh well, I thought it would have been pretty cool. Guess I'll need to get the wallet out for another NOE ;)

Thanks for sticking with me on this! My barrel slugs at .3555

I pulled a few dummy rounds that I seated (1.070 is the best I can do), they swaged down to .357 (for about 1/4 of the rear driving...

I am just thinking out loud here. I looked up more information on the Lyman 356637. Its actually longer (Lyman is .682 - NOE is .648) than the 360 that I have, and it even has a flat nose on it. ...

I pulled the mock up I made, and it was swagged at the base. It looked like the Lyman #356637 boolit. The main body was still .358. 1.070 is the farthest I can seat for the chamber of my handgun. ...

Thanks! That does help, which gun are you putting it through? So far I would have to seat at 1.050 to get it to head-space correctly with my M&P9. Which seems very short. The ELCO design probably...

Yeah, I have already started working on that :) I'm looking up what some people use for the 155 NOE TC for COL and powder charges.

I have this mould and I love it for my 38 special loads. I was wondering if anyone has tried using it for 9mm? I saw that NOE has a 155gr TC 9mm boolit on their site and the length measurement is...

Very excited for this mould. Especially since it comes with pins for Hollow, Flat and Cup

I picked one up in my local gun shop. Was just sitting there asking to be bought!

Unfortunately mine came damaged from shipping, so I didn't get a chance to use it. Lyman support was nice to...

Hi Walter, I don't think I mentioned the shelf as a heatsink?

Thanks for the response!

I don't think that new clamps are needed, these work fine and I don't have to move my shelf up or down often, if ever.

I do know I'll be buying a second fence though! ...

Hammer spring? Mine does this when the tension/strain screw starts backing out a little.

Got my shelf kit in today and installed it.

First I want to thank Harlow Industries, for making an excellent product. The product itself looked crafted flawlessly and when installed, looks like...
