Try clicking on a mould variation that is shown as being in stock. You should get an "add to cart" box then. Picking an out of stock mould will get you a specification page, but no "add to cart" option.
NOE runs their production in batches, which means you can only order what's in stock. I think this is a great improvement over some vendors (who shall remain nameless in outermost darkness) who would let you order anything you wanted, but then never get around to actually making the moulds.
Any news from NOE?
Have we gotten the .38 and .44 slugs yet? Inquiring minds WANT to know.
(Headed out tomorrow to Reno for the show this weekend, so will most likely not check back until next Monday)

Beagle333 told me that Swede acknowledge receipt of the 41 and 45 versions that he sent and that Swede stated he would soon be working on the drawings. Don't know anything after that.
Calling an illegal immigrant an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist."
To the best of my knowledge the front driving band was slightly reduced, as it was noted it made no real difference in accuracy, however once the throats had some carbon build up, became progressively more difficult to load chambers. I've seen 429's with driving band at .355 but the lyman original design specifies .356"
If anyone's interested there's a group buy for the 358429HP I've honcho'ed and only needs a few more folks to get off the ground
Recycle, Reuse, Reload.
I guess he's working on the drawings, along with keeping up with all of his other buys. They keep quite a few Group Buys rolling all the time. As soon as I see anything on the NOE forum about it, I'll keep this thread updated/linked as well.
KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.

Excellent news! 'Still watching for the prototype drawings to pop up on that site.

Bullets are in the mail to NOE I talked to them by phone the other day, they thought they would put them in the catalog, and do the group buys too.
Your entirely welcome FN ...
I hope someone also has a 45 to send to Al.
I'm interested in all 3 cal in the RG moulds so I have a choice of pins for making either true Keith or HP version

I use this bullet in my 45 Colt. From my softer alloy it averages 265 grains.

I opened this thread August 9th 2005 to share the letter from PJP. It's wonderful that he's joined this thread & is putting forth the effort to have the molds produced. If NOE cuts them as PJP wants I'm sure they will be fine bullets.
Now to add something to the thread which may stir the pot. This has nothing to do with PJP or his conversions with Mr. Keith & others so please don't think I'm trying to undermine his efforts. As John Taffin & I discussed there is no reason whatsoever to believe PJP speaks anything but the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth. Enough said.
Now check this article: http://www.elmerkeithshoot.org/GA/19...orite_Load.pdf
Look on the 3rd page at the picture of Elmer & the 6 bullets. Notice the last line of the description: "All are original Keith designs." Wonder if those were Keith's words or the editor of Guns & Ammo?

I suspect the photos of the bullets were stock photos that happened to be handy at the magazine's offices. Whether Keith actually supplied and reviewed the photos is doubtful. In 1969 a mockup of the magazine pages would have had to been mailed from California to Idaho, reviewed by Keith, and mailed back. I don't think magazine publishing worked that way then.

Has NOE made these molds yet? Specifically the 41?
