Al Nelson has just informed me that he has started a signup for the 35XCB bullet mold (designed by me).
I have hopes that this will be one of the most versitile 35 caliber bullet designs in the world, and I expect great things from this bullet.

Here is the signup thread on the NOE website:

Many of you are familiar with the XCB concept and the enormous strides we have made with the 30XCB bullet and the rifles and tools I have created, concerning shooting cast lead at high velocity with accuracy.
The XCB concept is an all encompassing project that has been the main recipient of my personal effort for quite some time now, starting in 2011 and continuing on to the present. The rifles, tools, measuring equipment, and reloading dies have all been tuned to my liking before being put into the field for extensive testing by castboolits greats such as Larry Gibson and Bjorn Borud along with many others.
However, the effort for design and implementation that was given to the project as a whole, pales in comparison with the effort I extended towards the bullet designs.
They were designed to fit the rifles perfectly, and very careful measurements were taken of the throats and chamber characteristics of the rifles in order to bring these designs to fruition. The designs were created, reviewed, scrapped, and repeated until I could find no weakness in the entire system whatsoever. Part of the design process included submitting the proposed design for stress evaluation with ballistics simulation software that would exaggerate the effects of torsional deformation, accelerative deformation, centrifugal force, and plasticization.
All of these forces were taken into consideration and the designs were both bolstered against these forces while maintaining the highest ballistic coefficient possible.
Make no mistake about it. I intended to design the most advanced cast bullet ever created, and I believe I have done so.
I am very excited about this bullet design, and the moment Al told me he was ready to pull the trigger on it, I ordered a custom barrel. I intend to build myself a rifle to utilize this bullet for long range hunting applications, and I expect it to be able to perform exceedingly well at speeds up to 2700FPS.
Gentlemen, from my shop to yours, I wish you enjoyment from this bullet design and those coming in the future.
