Visited NOE Bullet Molds today

[blasternank]

Many of you recommended their seating dies and when I looked them up I was happy to see they were really close to where I was visiting so I decided to drop by. The owner, Al Nelson, showed me his operation and they have some great CNC machinery working to create their products. He is really nice guy and spent a good amount of time showing me and helping me get my order ready. I hope y'all look into them as they actually have items available and ready to ship. Here's some pictures I took of their facility.



Machinery:








Some molds ready to ship! and some misc items ready to go as well:





They are also a Dillon Dealer (although like most inventory right now is hard to come by) and they also have a sound reducing room where some guys do a firearms type podcast.



All in all I was impressed. They had a lot more on hand than I would have thought. A lot more than most places. I know their stuff is great quality and they have invested quite a lot in all of their precision machinery. If you get a chance you should look them up. Thanks to everyone for the recommendations to look at their products! I do not have any affiliation with them. I received permission from owner to post pictures etc of his facility. He was open and happy to answer any questions I had. https://noebulletmolds.com/site/

Thanks for the tour! I was in on one of NOE's first group buys here many years ago. I don't think Al had his own machines back then. Nice what he's done with "the place".

Al is one of the best. Not uncommon to call for something and talk to him directly. I'd like to have a nickel for every boolit I've cast and shot from his moulds

[GregLaROCHE]

They make good stuff and I have always been happy with their quick turn around time on orders. I only wish they were more responsive to email questions.

Thanks for posting the pictures , what a nice facility NOE has.

[Bazoo]

Thanks for sharing.

His shop is clean looks like a first rate operation. My wife might be able to find some dust under something but I don't think so. All the products I have from him work as advertized .

[Don Purcell]

Always like a nice neat clean shop, sure wish mine was.

[FredBuddy]

Thanks for the tour.

I have several moulds and a bunch
sizers that I enjoy using.

[Nanook]

I have one of his moulds, with another on the way. Quality items, to be sure.

I'm sure there will be more in the future.

[mvintx]

Yeah, thanks for posting all the pics.

[trapper9260]

I have some of his molds and also GC expander , when I had talk with him about it, he set me up for all I need. That was when I talk with him on the phone .

I ordered a NOE mold yesterday, and got a email notification that it shipped today.
It's been a while since I ordered a NOE mold, but I do have many of them.

I like my NOE mold but I like his 'accessories' almost as much. Especially the bullet sizing system. I have a bunch of different sizes including a few for nose sizing my rifle bullets.

I also like to support the small businesses. My wife and I used to run a mfg business out of our house and know the satisfaction it gave us to provide products that people enjoyed. Also the difficulties with the fluid economic times we have been through in the last 20 years.

Good luck to NOE and all the other small mfgs out there.

I think I am 20+ with AL's moulds and have many of his other products like the GC seater and bushing sizing system AL is a great guy and while I have never met him I have talked with him many times on the phone. I like his stuff a lot and hope someday I can get up there to meet him in person and see his setup.

Thanks for posing the shop i was wondering what type of machine they used.
