    .264/6.5 123gr mold

    Any body know of a .264/6.5 mold buy and/or interest? All I can find are 140-170. As a Grendel shooter I would like something lighter myself. Just my .02.

    I second the NOE 125 Grain mold. That's what I used in my Grendel. I will continue to use it after I rebuild it.

    I have the NOE 125 gr mould, its great for fire forming 762x39 brass into Grendel, I'd like a nice pointy style modeled after similar moulds like the NOE pointy styles in 30, 8mm, 35 etc....like 311365 I think. 120-130 grains perfect..... SMOKES PP unsized of the 125gr version in front of a light load of H322 gives perfectly formed brass without the use of a 30-40 cent jacketed style worked great so far.

    Does anyone know if the 125 grain NOE will work in the 6.5 Remington magnum. I sent an email to NOE asking this question about a year ago, but never received a response.

    you can look at the measurements of the mold on noe's website and see if it works for you.

    That's a great mold in my 6.5 Grendel AR15. It took me a long time to find one as I believe it is a discontinued model but it shows up occasionally on Ebay. The one I found was in a custom double cavity mold with the second cavity being a 323366 180gr Spirepoint gas-checked 8mm bullet. so a double win for me.

    I also have a Lyman 266305 mold (also discontinued) which is a 100gr gas-checked bullet mold which I traded with a fellow forum member here a while back for.Click image for larger version.

    NOE is your place to go for a brand-new light 6.5 mold. buying old is a pig in a poke sometimes.

ID:	211751 at 150gr should meet your needs.

    NOE has those same great 6.5mm bullet design molds on hand as well.

    I was curious about the relatively short neck and long deep seated bullets. I didn't consider measuring and comparing on their website. I'm going to call and see if I have better luck...
