I have a 4 year old granddaughter that wants to help “Opa” make bullets. She is into everything on the bench. Sizing already sized bullets and sizing already sized cases. Putting casing’s in loading...

I use to buy every month thru midway. Would get the flyer and fill out the back and send a check. Then ordering online and knowing something was in stock was great. Prices were always good and...

Please don’t visit NOE’S website if you know what’s good for your financial well-being. Bought one a few years ago to upgrade from a Lee mold I was playing with. Easily a member of the 1k club now...

Got two lbs of autocomp at 37$ a lb. Need to speed up my 9mm ammo. Usual load won’t cycle the action for my sig 320 build

My .02 cents. I use an encore pistol to fire form 6.5grendel brass. Can use extremely mild loads since no need to worry about cycling. Range brass with mixed headstamps are fire formed and used for...

Ive had mine for a few months and really like it except for this weekend. Got a piece of crude in the nozzle and was a bear to clean out ( two full dissasseblies). Not happy with the design of the...

Had one a couple years ago for my 650. Put it on and after about 30 minutes it came right back off. Just didn't feel right. Sold it for what I paid. To keep from getting blisters I put on a tight...

I don't think I need any new molds right now, So gotta figure out a new gun to buy so I can order the mold ahead of time. So many problems

Noe was the first non Lee mold I ordered a few years ago. Placed the order one day and Al called me the next day and told me that one wasn't going to do what I explained I wanted it for. We talked a...

mine keyholed pretty bad, but it was hard to tell from the others

I've got a few pounds of Arsenal molds and they are top notch. This Blackout is just a little finicky with off the shelf molds. If this NOE mold doesn't work ( expecting it will), then I am going to...
