    A new twist on Bullet molds. Group buy link

    NOE is running a set of group buys that are unlike anything you’ve probably seen before. These are nose pour molds, but they also come with different length pins that yield a different weight projectile. Essentially turning that 1 bullet mold into 4 different bullet profiles. Yes the nose will be the same, but you can essentially buy 4 molds for the price of 1 with any of these molds.

    If you have bought anything from NOE, you know the quality you will receive. Let’s fill these group buys up so this style will become a usual stock option!

    All the molds in this GB are of powder coated design.

    No lube grooves, no good for paper patch, same plain jane design in all calibers. Not even a front driving band. Pass.

    P.S. I have a mold similar to that, but it adjusts with threads, not swapping pins. Nothing new. They are really only useful as core molds for swaging.

    Yes they are for Powdercoat and Hi Tek coating only. I know its probably been done in some way or form before, but I havent seen a new mold in a while offer anything like this before.

    And I'm not sure what you mean by "They are really only useful as core molds for swaging." I use that same 147gr in my 9mm handguns and my PCC. I shoot that same 459 nose in 600 and 500 in my 458 SOCOM with great results. Definitely not just for swaging

    I’d be interested if lube grooves were available, I understand why they aren’t. If I have to size anyway, I’ll just lube at the same time.

    I used to really get into the Hi-Tek coating when we lived in Denver and had utility power, but now off grid and just don’t have the outdoor space to cook the boolits currently.

    I still may get the 38cal mold if I can talk myself into it.

    What I meant was the molds I have are only really good for swaging. Those listed molds will shoot ok if coated. I wouldn't even buy them if all I did was coat them though. It already has a crimp groove. Add at least one lube groove and those molds would be improved 100x for both coaters and lubers.
