Well I have discovered NOE has too many options...I recently aquired a new to me minimally used 629-5 and I am trying to decide what to feed it. I am looking to use it for shooting steel at 50 and 100 yards and carrying it for deer hunting (in WI, so at most I would be taking a 50 yard shot). I was originally thinking a ~240 LSWC at about 1200 fps for a 1 round does everything (soft alloy for hunting and generic for steel). On a side note, these will be powder coated.
My first mold choice is the NOE 432-277 Keith, plenty meaty and a what looks like a design. But I am concerned too many might cause excesive wear to the gun so I also looking at the 434-258 SWC and the HTC 432-263 WFN.
First all three are not an option...I have to narrow it down to one choice (second child is due mid January so I have to do that faulting thing the call showing restraint lol). So will the 277 Keith be too heavy (or cause any other issues) if I launch it between 1100 and 120p fps? Finally any advice with any of the three options would be appreciated.
Sorry if this got long winded.
PS these 44s are addicting I sent 200 rounds down range within 3 days!
