I just got mine! Thank you very much. Looks great! Can't wait to cast with it and see how it does.

Mother Nature snuffed our mail delivery today... not even a disappointing walk back from the mailbox to brag about

Rough winter here in Pasadena, CA as well. 84 degrees and sunny today !

I got mine today all looks good but I did not get any handle attachment screws. I am not really worried about it as I have extras.

Got mine yesterday. Washed & scrubbed it, oiled it, put handles on it, got all ready to cast today. Wouldn't you know it, after over a foot of snow, it's raining today. Hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks Blammer for this GB, this mold looks great & I'm sure it will work as good as my other NOE molds.

Got mine Wednesday. I used it twice so far and this is a sweetheart! I might have to buy another from Al before they sell out on the NOE website.

What are these sized to Jerry?

Mine came today.Thanks Blammer for all the hard work to make this buy happen..........Terry

square butte:

In my haste to get photos they were sized down to 0.430" rather than the 0.432" I had planned ! That is the reason for the excessively wide "band" on the nose.

They are VERY round though !

The mold is the 0.434" version.

Yea I thought that was a really Wide banded nose....

Braved the chill and ran about 100 or so today. 0.434" sized to 0.432"

Me also. Had to scrape about a foot of snow off the concrete out my basement door to put up my casting table. Got up to about 38 with no wind so not bad.

Let me say this about this mold....IT'S GREAT!

He sent it with the HP pins installed, so after cleaning it the other day I was ready to cast with a carb cleaner spray off & a little drop out on the pins.

I was smelting lead into ingots, as well as casting, so I just set the mold on my casting pot while it melted the lead still in it from my last castings.

While I cut lead & melted it in the other pot, & got my gear ready, took about 30mins. So when I was ready I sat down & started to drop lead.

Serious business, the first pour & 3 out of 4 were perfect keepers & dropped right off. That was the norm for the rest of the bullets. I was having some trouble with cavity no. 1 not filling out the base. It was one of the PB cavs. The other PB was no problem & the GCs were almost all perfect.

I kept dinking with the No.1 cav. but couldn't find anything that made a difference. After a while it just started filling out OK so I guess it just took a little longer to want to work.

I'm not kidding when I say these are good looking bullets. I put the solid pins in after casting so tomorrow I'll do the solids. I expect them to look just like the ones above.

I like Mehas brass molds, but these seem to be easier to get running right.

These NOE molds are really good. Have 4 but plan on a number more.

Thanks again Blammer, this one was really worth it.

Now if the dam thing will shoot good in my 44s I'll be one happy camper.
Thanks
