    403 Noe or Arsenal Mold for 40sw CZ and 2011

    Can't decide on which 40sw mold to get. I have a 180gr rcbs mold I love but it's 2 cavity. I also have the lee 175 tumble lube mold that nice. Had to add some alum tape to get it drop .402 for me so I can size better.

    I really want a 200gr mold.

    Noe has that 198 403 WFN mold. It casts a .620 length.

    Arsenal has a 200gr 403 TC that's .680 length and a 403 WFN no lube groove that's .600 length.

    Can't decide on which to go with.

    I have a 5 cav 180 gr 403 mold from NOE. Mine is the RF since I have a WFN already from LBT. If powder coating, I'd not recommend the NOE. It casts pretty fat (405ish), so a lot of sizing down. Exacerbated by added diameter from PC. Nice mold, bullets are easily well formed and drop nicely. It is a good bullet in 10mm and 40.

    I do hi tek coating. Don't think it's as thick as PC but certainly more than just lube or alox.

    If you like your Lee 175 tumble lube mold....I'd suggest getting their 6 hole regular lube groove 175 TC mold.Powdercoat them and don't look back.I got only mediocre results with the heavier bullets in my .40 CZ.....doesn't especially like the lighter 155-165 grainers either but most anything 180ish can be loaded to shoot well
