With NOE's new group buy policy, anyone signing up for the group buy gets a 15% discount from the catalog price. NOE's price for a standard 2 cavity aluminum mould is $79.00. The 15% discount would make the group buy price $67.15. Shipping is by USPS Priority Flat Rate and runs $5.75, which would make the total delivered price to your door anywhere in the US $72.90. That's hard to beat for a NEW, HIGH QUALITY NOE mould.


NOE's catalog price for a 4 cavity aluminum mould is $92.00 (with 15% discount $78.20). The catalog price for a 5 cavity aluminum mould is $99.00 (with 15% discount $84.15). Brass moulds are a little more.

Here's a link to another current thread that shows how well the Ed Harris .312" 160 gr bullet works in 308 Winchester rifles. Check it out: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...20-HV-308-test

There have been 8 commitments on the NOE .312' 160 gr Interest Thread so far. We need a few more people to join in before there will be enough to move that one to the Active Group Buy status. Please help us out by going to the NOE Forum and signing up. Go to: http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index....pic,472.0.html

Thanks,

Dave

[DR Owl Creek]

So far, we have people interested in getting 12 molds, however, 4 of those people wanted to have a design without the crimp groove. We have started a second interest thread for that mold without the crimp groove. To see that new thread, go to http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index....pic,501.0.html

Thanks,

I have never loaded for the 7.63x39 even though I have a Romanian pistol and Hungarian rifle in this caliber. I have a question:

Are factory rounds "roll" crimped?

[prsman23]

No. Generally revolvers are roll crimped since they headspace differently than rifles and semi autos.

Does anyone know the status of this mold? I want one. Ideally a 3 cavity aluminum.

John,

Since the discussion came up about whether or not the crimp groove was necessary, nothing much has progressed on the group buy discussion thread. If you would like one of these moulds, go to the discussion thread and say so. That might be just what is needed to get this one rolling again.

John,

Since the discussion came up about whether or not the lube groove was necessary, nothing much has progressed on the group buy discussion thread. If you would like one of these moulds, go to the discussion thread and say so. That might be just what is needed to get this one rolling again.

Dave - I've posted to the NOE forum. Patiently waiting

[DR Owl Creek]

So far, 16 people have expressed an interest in getting one of these moulds. Some want .312", some want .314", some want the crimp groove, and some don't. If anyone is interested, please go to the NOE group buy discussion and say what you would like. You could be the one to push it over the top.

Thanks,

Dave

[DR Owl Creek]

We have 19 people interested in various sizes and configurations so far. We could still use a few more people to sign up to get Al's attention. Please go to the NOE Forum Interest Thread, and tell Al what you would like.

Thanks,

I would like to the drawing of this bullet and the NOE 311-155 side by side for comparison

[Yodogsandman]

I've been trying to figure out the difference between the NOE 314 155 and the Ed Harris design. Just in case they don't run em at .314". I have a Lee 312-155-2R of the Harris design but, it's a single cavity, casts at .313" and I'd also like a HP option with NOE's RG mold. I have a funny throat that tapers from .318" down to .314". The rifling starts at .310". I might want .316" bands x.310" nose diameter mold.

[DR Owl Creek]

Wayne and Yodog,

To see the drawings and diagrams of the NOE 311155 and 314155, go to the NOE On-Line Store, and click on the links on the top left side of the page, then look for the specific bullet you want to check out. You'll also have to go to the NOE Forum group buy discussion to see the drawing and diagram for the proposed 312" 160gr Ed Harris design.

The main differences between the NOE 311/314 155's and the new 312 160, as I see it, are as follows:
1. The length of the NOE 311/314 155's from the base of the bullet to the top of the crimp groove are both .305". The length of the 312 160 for that area is .306". The NOE 311/314 155's can also carry a little more lube.
2. The meplat on the NOE 311155 measures .113". The meplat on the NOE 314155 measures .116". The meplat on the Ed Harris' 312 160 measures .155".
3. The diameter and the nose profile of the Ed Harris' 312 160 falls somewhere between the NOE 311/314 155's, depending on where you measure them.
4. The Ed Harris 312 160 is about .020" shorter than either of the NOE 311/314 155's.

How much of this really matters will depend on your particular rifles' throats. I have three different 7.62x39mm rifles, all of which are from the same manufacturer and are basically the same rifles, but were made at different times. All three of mine have throats that need .313"+ diameter bullets, but otherwise all three have different throats. I'm not even sure what will work best in mine.

Dave

[Yodogsandman]

Thanks for the comparison. I had already looked at both drawings. Also note that the bullet diameter between the crimp grooves and radius of the noses differ, the NOE 313 155 Ed Harris design is .306" and the NOE 314 155 is .308".

The active Ranch Dog bullet mold group buy for the 7.62X39mm needs consideration, too. Also, an RG version is being offered in that. More options out there from NOE than ever before for this caliber!

What to do? (I want them all!) What to do? (I want them all!) What to do? (I want them all!).....

Bump it,,,

[DR Owl Creek]

The Ed Harris NOE Group Buy has finally gone active! To see the new thread, and to sign-up for your mould, go to: http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index....pic,617.0.html

The new mould will be offered in both .312" and .314" diameters. It will be available in 2 cavity, 4 cavity, and 5 cavity versions, in both aluminum and brass. There will also be a gas check or plain base option.

As usual, only 10 buyers will be needed to send the mould to production, and everyone signing up will get a 15% discount from the catalog price.

Thanks,

Dave

[Yodogsandman]

I made my decision. I don't like the shotgun method so I got in on both the 314" Harris design and the Ranch Dog design!
