NOE 311, 314, 316 155Gr. FN

I got mine today also, the first thing I noticed was that the set screws have been moved from the ends of the mold to the sides which is a great improvement because eventually the sprue plate pivot screw will work loose and need tightening and the set screw tightened as well and it is a real pain in the fingers working close to a very hot mold.
As usual outstanding construction and many thanks to those that helped make this GB a reality.
Now , if we can just do something about those man hole cover size holes in the sprue plates.
Here's a thought, offer blank sprue plates [no holes] for sale

If you head to NOE's website he sells them seperately if you want another one. I bet you could get a blank one easy.

Got them today. Nice molds as always.

I recall asking about a few blanks, seams the SP's are bought in "bulk" so there is no options.
I just installed an Alum SP with .100 holes, going to give it a try with a 3-1 mix.

Hi Wayne,
I was thinking the same thing. I am shooting the RCBS version sub-sonic in the 32Mag so a couple of PB would have been a good idea.

[Hamish]

Depends on what size a feller wants to start with. Weren't but three bought PB .311's

Which diameter you looking for?

Now that I've had a chance to cast a few hundred boolits with this mould, I'm even more impressed with the workmanship. The boolits fall right out except for the second cavity it take a several tap on the handle hinge to dislodge it. I love the little bottle of lube that comes with this mould, it's great stuff. I've cleaned the mould again and will see if it makes any difference next casting session.

I would prefer .311, but sizing down .314 to .310 shouldn't hurt. I've got some on my .311'a drying from a bath in 40-40-20 TL to shoot w/o the GC.

Still no mould yet

Well, did the heat & cool routine during the week and finally got to cast some boolits today. First half-hour wrinkley boolits whilst I had three moulds going, two RCBS 7mm 145gr and my new NOE 30cal 165gr.
Not until I stopped using the two RCBS moulds did I get the NOE up to heat (pot @ 700 degrees) and perfect boolits. I found I had to spray the moulds twice with brake cleaner during the heat up phase and dry with a cotton bud, although I am sure the heat had already evaporated any liquid, before the perfect boolits started dropping from the mould. Three of the five fall out without tapping and two are a little sticky. Still I found this with my two previous moulds from NOE also that the more use they got the easier the fall-out.
After I got it up to heat I was able to get back to using three moulds again. Looks as if a hot plate my be in the future to speed up the heat-up of the mould.
Still to weigh and measure to see just how close to the RCBS mould these boolits are. Thanks for another beautiful mould.
