Have tried to contact NOE on 2 occasions via e-mail to ask about a mold they have in stock.
Still no answer to my question.
Are the out of business or just off line?
Would like to buy from them but if can't get any kind of customer service will look elsewhere for a usable mold.

Have you tried posting on their forum? Search "noe forum",I don't think it's connected to the home site, but I might be wrong.
I just received one of theirs in the mail thursday, money well spent! The mold was out of stock and I had emailed and ask when it would be back, never got an answer but they posted a run date and took my order for it and it shipped on that date that was posted. excellent service
Post on the forum see how thats works, I think thats where he's answering questions.
Certainly not out of business, just got a new mould from them a few weeks ago. Swede has yet to not respond to my e-mails, sometimes even on weekends. Forum does sound like fun.

Oh yea, they have all their bullet blue prints "spec sheets" listed on the forum too, that might answer your question.
Even has quick loads data and pet loads thread started.
try sending SwedeNelson an PM on here I have not had good luck with PM on there forum either , but they have always took care of things in a timely manor , I just got a mould from them Wed. or (801) 377-7289
Don't give up on Swede. Great customer service and great moulds. Just a fluke I'm sure.

Don't know what's up but I correspond with him frequently & always get a response. He is a super guy & has great molds & service.
great molds and fast service if in stock. Once their molds are hot, they sure throw pretty boolits.

NOE is surely in business ! ...and is Busy !Originally Posted by gunnut14
Al is usually very good about responding to messages. While I have no idea when you sent your emails to him? I sent him a PM via the NOE group buy forum yesterday, I haven't heard back yet? but I have no worries as I am in no hurry and it is a holiday weekend.
post your question here, maybe someone with experience will chime in. Myself, I have about 15 NOE molds and am in a group buy for another one.

Honestly, I have not had good luck getting Al to respond to me via the online store, pm here or through the NOE forum BUT that has not stopped me from ordering from him cause his molds are second to none.

NOE are alive, kicking and thriving.
Their customer service is second to none, I am in contact with Al pretty regularly by email and PM on his group buy forum and he always responds in a timely manner.
I'd check the email address you are using.

I used the e-mail address on the group buy forum as well as the e-mail address on his on line store and still haven't heard from him.
To me that is kinda strange for a company that is in business to make money, but hey I am not a regular customer so!!
I only needed to know the gas check shank size on his 147 grain 6.5 MM mold so I could decide if I had one that would work or I needed to buy a new check maker as well as a mold.
Guess that isn't a question he can answer or cares to so I will look elsewhere for a 6.5 mold, or maybe just shoot J word bullets in the rifle as it is a $450 proposition to set up for a new caliber and I can buy a lot of J words for that.

Maybe you should look elsewhere......................
I have a mold from the first run of the 269 145 RN.
I am assuming that is the one you have a question about, I don't have any unsized boolits lying around to measure, I checked my records and I don't have a GC shank measurement listed. I do know that a "Gator" copper 6.5 GC snaps on nicely and sizes to .270 in my Lyman lubesizer.
FYI, my mold drops large (0.271), and I suspect that a mold ordered now, from the most recent batch will measure very similar. These were designed for use in foreign mil surp guns with larger bores, which groove dia are around 0.267 to 0.269
American made rifles are typically (0.264) and this boolit would be a poor choice for such.
i hope that helps, Good Luck,
Jon

I have had trouble emailing him too. Im not sure why, I assume that he like me has more email addresses than time to check them. However I have called his shop twice and he answered the phone both times and answered any question I could come up with. Great service for sure. Give him a call, hell answer. Great product too
He sure must be busy.
I had some questions also and sent them thru the forum over a month ago.
No answer...No biggie
I would imagine since adding the CNC's and moving into a new shop, he has less time to spend on the internet ?

Your right Ben!!
Maybe I should go elsewhere!
Have been a member here for some time and seldom post as whenever I do I get a lot of flack.
Seems if you question the forum gurus you are fair meat for anyone that wants a whipping boy.
So I will just go back into the woodwork and try my best not to ever post here again.

I'm simply agreeing with your comments.
Was that wrong ?

Have you thought that maybe your emails never made it to him? I know a lot of emails never make it through to me at work. The mail server likes to reject most @hotmail and @yahoo emails. Just throwing this out there as a potential issue that NOE might not be aware of.
They are also a small shop. While I'm sure they they try to answer ASAP some might fall through the cracks. I'm not trying to make excuses for them. But when it's a small shop if you aren't I'm the shop producing product you are losing money.
