My uses are paper killing and general clanger shooting. Too many hunting rifles to choose from.

I am sorry about the wrong placement of this post. Maybe the moderators can put it in the molds section?

I am using a Accurate 37-285C mold which is pretty much the same design as the NOE mold you have pictured , It works very well for me ,
That is my go to bullet for my 9.3x62. With a charge of Varget and that bullet deer are in big trouble and would hunt elk and moose if give a chance.
Had Veral Smith make me one of his FN GC 250 gr LBT 2-cavity molds several years back. With COWW, water cooled and GC in place, LBT Blue lube, sized .367", using mid to upper 40+ gr charges of Varget and #47 buffer, filled to base of the neck, hitting 2200-2260 fps from a 24" #3 Pacnor barrel. I was getting .8 moa, 5-shot groups. Still haven't used on any cow elk which frequent the hill behind my house when deep snows push them down to a sane altitude.

I just have say, I giggled with pure delight when I shot these groups.

That is excellent accuracy with very good speed Alan..
I would be giggling also with those groups..
Veral told me to shoot water filled 1-gallon milk jugs, extending the distance out with each shot. He said if the jug fairly exploded, it would be good for elk. If it simply punched a hole, the bullet had surpassed it's effective range. I took some vids of some gallons jugs exploding at 25, 50 and 110 yds. I tried to post the vids but no luck.
