I have the NOE version a 32cal HBWC in 2 cavity brass. It's a pretty thing! I'm not really taken with the layout of the grease rings, the last bearing ring being wider than I would have designed it (I would have preferred one more grease groove.) But that being said, it is a good bullet design in an accepted configuration.

Conventional hollow base and hollow point moulds are single cavity with a manually removed pin. The Cramer type are typically multi cavity and have automatic self-locating pins. I can't speak to the NOE models but the M-P brand, made of brass on CNC tooling in Slovenia, are jewel-quality Cramer types. I have their four-cavity HBWC moulds in .32, .38, .41, .44 and .45 and their SWCHP in .44, and they are, albeit heavy, a joy to use compared to my two Lyman single-cavity HP moulds. The weight of all that brass, though, has given me forearms like Popeye's. Their four-cavity HP or HBs are around $140 US and their two-cavity HP/HBs are around $80-ish. Look 'em up.

I have the MP Molds HBWC clone of the Hensley and Gibbs #50 and it’s very nice. I’ve been shooting the Hensley and Gibbs original 50 my whole life so the HBWC version is a nice add.

He’s out of stock currently and it took a while to get it run due to minimal interest so you might try a WTB thread and see if anyone wants to part with theirs.

I got the MiHec copy of the H&G 50. Still working on a BE charge 2.8 and 3.0 seems pretty fast for a 124gr WC.

The H&G #50 bullet mold is a nominal 148 grs. I have an original H&G four cavity mold for that excellent design.

I have an original 4cav as well as MPs new HB 4cav and they MP flat pin casts will almost perfectly fit in the original mold. He was very true to the original in his clone. eBay often has the #50 HG molds available but they can be pricey.

Based on available sales I’ve seen over the years I see more #50s for sale than any other HG mold number, goes to show that they were the gold standard in bullseye shooting.

I have a number of Mihec's molds and am a fan of his work!

Oh where to find Mihec

Here is his website but he has limited supply as he cuts his molds mostly around group buys started here and other places. Oddball, low demand, molds like wad cutters tend to be run sporadically and supply may be limited. He does have some of the plain base molds last I looked but no hollow base.

If you want send me a Pm and I can mail you some of the plain base ones to try out if you like.

Link is to a specific product page but you can navigate from there.

If you really want the HBWC than do a WAnt to Buy (WTB) thread in the swapping and selling portion of this forum and see if anyone will part with theirs.
