Oh I see, actually the 2.100 is with 4 bands in the brass. The photos are not great, here is some crops of the bullet. Hopefully uploading more clear. Perhaps the 2.100 might be ok after all?...

So in the past I have always seated my bullets to take up the chamber space to avoid bullet jump to the rifling. Is the downsize to 2.08 to keep the pressure down, and is not going to affect...

Wow thank you so much, that is very helpful. Tell me if I'm reading this right, if I go for 2.08 AOL and my case is 1.600, quickloads is saying that 90% starting point is 22.60 grains, and 100% fill...

Nice mold! Definitely interested in how it performs! I love all my NOE molds. Im just now getting back into casting and reloading and I remember loving all my NOE molds when I was doing it years...

So I went ahead and slugged my barrel just to kind of see what bullet sizer I need and my bullets are pouring at 359 and once I powder coat they're about 361 to 362. I used a non-powder coated bullet...

So I went ahead and slugged my board just to kind of see what bullet size are I need and my bullets are pouring at 359 and once I powder coat they're about 361 to 362. I used a non-coated powder coat...

Thank you so much for the advice! The mor I read its seems like many people have referenced accurate saying a long time ago you cant fill the 357 max case enough to create pressure problems in the...

Everyone was a great help with my last Post about this NOE TL359-192-RF-BG2 GC Ranch Dog mold. Now im onto working up a load. My local shops shelves were a bit bare, but I was able to grab some...

I definitely will be, ill probably do that first to see what I can get away with. one last reloading supply on my list these days will definitely be good!

My eyes have deceived me. My calipers are showing .340 at the very base! I thought the GC groove would be much more obvious, but in fact it's very subtle! Time to order some checks!

I see what you mean. The tumble lube grooves are on the schematic as .359, and the base of the actual bullet if I look closer seem to be even less than that. The GC schematic shows a .343 and a...

I believe so because when I look at the schematic this bullet does not have the gas check shape that the bullet in the gas check schematic has there is no cut out where a gas check fits so I believe...

That is some excellent information thank you so much for sharing that. It's good to know I don't need to go full max on these to take deer size game consistently. I just cast and PC some boolits,...

i will definitely share results once i get everything together!

Thank you for the input, you guys are making me feel a lot better about this! I m getting ready to pull out me Christmas color powder coat I got from a gentleman on here!

Good call, I need to slug the barrel and check that out. I dont have it here yet but it was shipped this weekend. I made the mistake of looking into gas check makers so i see myself going that...

oh wow, didnt know those were a thing. Since these boolits are cast 359, would I size to 358, then add PBGC and size to 357 to crimp them on?

Thank you so much, that is reassuring, im just trying to build a sub 100 yard gun for some white tail. Ill end up getting other molds and factory bullets but I want to make sure I can still rock...

So I get some great ideas sometimes and I buy things, and then never get around to using them. Enter the NOE TL359-192-RF-BG2 GC/Ranch Dog mold I bought for A .357 max Encore Pistol I hadnt built...

Thanks for the heads up! Im actually eyeing one of the four cavities at NOE! The ranch dog actually! Once the holidays are up im going to get both NOE and Gould. In the mean time im scanning...

This thread is great! Just starting in the world of PC and this has been so helpful! Thanks to all contributors!

got my holiday color order right fast! Will buy from again!

Awesome thanks for the input guys! I will definitely check that out! Good to know dont have to go gas checked also! I did see many people mention 1300-1500 was plenty fps on these rounds. I will...

I just picked up a couple Encores, one pistol and one rifle. I have a 24" barrel in 45-70 and im looking for a load that will wallop deer/elk sized game and not so much the shooter. Im in the...

Awesome pics, I want to go pig hunting very badly! Working on Redhawk loads until that dream becomes a reality!
