[Landric]

MOULDS WENT IN THE MAIL TODAY (10/07/2011) USPS PRIORITY. THANKS!

Howdy Folks,

This is a NOE re-run of the 314-129 Spitzer boolit that was run some time ago. It will be offered with the usual NOE PB and GC options, mix and match is fine in one mould, and at standard NOE pricing. No RG moulds will be available, but hollowpointing is an option at $35 per cavity.

This buy is currently scheduled to run in August 2011.

I will be the honcho of this buy and will accept mailed payments and payments via PayPal (+$4.50 per mould). Please post here what you want and I will update the list regularly. The buy will stay open until Swede Nelson tells me to make the last call before it goes to production.

This is now an active "small" group buy.

[SwedeNelson]

Landric

It looks like we have more than five.
I'll get it on the schedule.

Swede Nelson

[0verkill]

Put me down for a 5 cavity. 2 plain base, 2 gas check and 1 gas check hollow point.

[C1PNR]

This is really tough for me. I passed on the first go around because they're heavier than my 311 359 Lyman that are SO good in my older Carbine. But I'm now thinking maybe I should get in on this one.

When do we have to make our final commitment? I've got to think about this one.:coffeecom

[rhbrink]

Put me down for a 4 cavity with gas checks.

Its not going to run until August by the current schedule, so by the end of June or so. You have some time.

[j20owner]

I'm on the fence, but I'm posting so it'll be easier to find later if I decide to fall off.

[Trapaddict]

Is there a little more room on that fence?

Jeff

[quasi]

I am in for a 5 cavity g.c. mold

[yb2882]

put me in for 2 cavity g.c. mold

[machinisttx]

Wish there was an option for RG molds on this buy.

[indymadcaster]

put me in for a four cavity 1 plainbased 3 GC

thanks

[barefooter175]

I am looking at this bullet and thinking I would give it a try in a TC Contender .30-30 or .30 Herrett. Any reason why this bullet will not work with these applications?

James

[C1PNR]

These are only about 9 grains heavier than what my 311 359's weigh lubed and checked, so I think I need this one to back up the old Ideal.

I'll take one of these in the 4 Cavity, all GC design. Let me know when you need the $$.

[no34570]

Landric
Can I change my order please?
Instead of a 3 cavity mould,I would like a 4 cavity mould and all GC's please.
Sorry about that,but I had a good think about it.

[truckjohn]

Please put me on the list for one 5-cavity model. GC on all...

If you don't mind - PM me with your address for the $$$.

Thanks

[monsoon35]

Please put me down for a 2 cavity (both GC one cavity HP)

[1longshot]

How would this bullet do in a 308 Winchester?

[Landric]

Sorry for my absense for the last few weeks folks, been exceptionally busy at work and home.

I imagine it would make a good plinking load in .308.

[Woodsroad]

Put me down for a 5 cavity plain base with one HP
Thanks

[mpkunz]

Please put me down as the 16th buyer after woodsroad

5 cavity, one HP, GC base.

Thanks. Mike

[GBCAPT]

Anyone able to predict if this bullet would perform well in a CZ-527 carbine 7.62 X39 with a .313 groove diameter?

Gas checked?
Plain base?
Hollow pointed?

[rollmyown]

Any chance this can be done in .316 now or in the future? Is anyone else interested?

[rollmyown]

Bump.

[no34570]

Any chance this can be done in .316 now or in the future? Is anyone else interested?

Hmmm.....I reckon I could go a .316 for my .303's

[longbow]

I bought one on the first group buy knowing it would be a little small. It cast exactly on spec at 0.314" so I lapped it a bit and it works pretty well in my .303 (0.315" throat). I am still working up loads but it is showing promise. So far it seems to like the faster powders and moderate loads.

I wanted a light boolit and there just aren't many around for .303 so I went with this one. No regrets and the mould is beautiful and casts perfectly.

Longbow

[rollmyown]

Not keen to lap mine as I want this boolit in both 314 and 316.

I've got a hungry Mosin Nagant and a N0 4 Mk 1 to feed.

[FTF]

Please add me to the list for:

1 ea. 5 cavity ALL GC mold

[Landric]

I guess it would be possible to run a .316, but we would likely need a number of buyers for NOE to run both .314 and .316. Perhaps a future buy in .316 is the answer.

[sh00ter787]

I'm still not showing on the first post, have you got my name down Landric? It was a 4 cavity all GC one :)

Bump for interest

[Landric]

List updated, bump for interest.

[Landric]

This buy will close August 1st, if you want in, now is the time. PM sent out for payment on 7-18-2011

[0verkill]

I had forgot about this one. Money's tight right now, could I get my mould changed to a different configuration? A double cavity with no hollw pointed cavity would be much easier on the old billfold right now.

[blaser.306]

I am looking at this bullet and thinking I would give it a try in a TC Contender .30-30 or .30 Herrett. Any reason why this bullet will not work with these applications?

James

My question as well ! Would sizing this boolit to .310 be too much reduction?

[Landric]

List updated, bump for interest before the buy closes.

[MikeS]

Put me down for a 5c all GC.

I just got a Ruger Mini-30 so I might as well get a mould for it! Thanks!

[Echo]

Put me down for a 4-banger, 2 GC, 2 PB.

[mpkunz]

How would this bullet do in a 308 Winchester?

Probably be decent with Trail Boss.

[mpkunz]

What kinda delivery time should we expect, keeping in mind that the 247 grain Wispers are a full month behind.

[Wayne S]

My question as well ! Would sizing this boolit to .310 be too much reduction?
FIRST put me down for a 5 cavity, all GC

Blazer, most 30 Cal T/C bbls. have a .3095 -.310 throat, or that what all my mike out at. A couple of my NOE 311XXX molds drop at .312-.313, what I do is lube and size in my lubsizer with a .313 sizer die, then I PUSH & SIZE them through a Lee .309 sizer die I honed out to .3095-.310, Probably a bit anal on the sizing by not just going to .309 or .310 :bigsmyl2:

[Landric]

What kinda delivery time should we expect, keeping in mind that the 247 grain Wispers are a full month behind.

I would guess end of August, first part of September. Funds will be on the way to NOE next week, right after the buy closes.

[chuck4570]

I will take a 5 cavity all gascheck mold.

[rdlange]

I'm new at mold ordering. Think I'd like a 3 cavity, 2-GC & 1-PB, for my 7.62x39.

But the 7.62x39 case neck is only .236 deep and this bullet length base to crimp groove is .337 +GC. So the seated depth is more than the neck depth. I thought this was bad?

So is it OK for my 7.62x39? With 1680 or maybe 4198?

Thanks.

This boolit was designed for 7.62x39mm, so I imagine it will work just fine.

[smilie=1: and NOW the wait begans :violin:

[MikeS]

Now that the buy is closed, how long should the wait be till the moulds are in the mailbox? This is my first GB with NOE, so don't know how long the wait normally is from closing time til mailbox time.

[Landric]

I expect sometime mid-September.

[1dbbehr]

Landric,

How are we looking for delivery?

Thanks, 1DBBEHR

[Landric]

Sorry, I missed this post. Judging by NOE's schedule this mould should be running now. A week or two more perhaps? I'll see if I can get an update.

[rollmyown]

11th hour request. Can I change my mold to 3gc/1pb? They might be done. If they are - no problem.

Thanks.

[SwedeNelson]

rollmyown

:violin: When TOWMBO sees this one arrive ,I know it will cost me dearly :bigsmyl2:

[no34570]

Any updates on these little beauties?

[Landric]

I have to pick the moulds up at the post office today (I wasn't home when they attempted delivery), then get them packaged and shipped out. Shouldn't be too much longer.

[sh00ter787]

Many thanks, am looking forward to getting my first "not a Lee" mold! :D

[no34570]

Thanks Landric ;)

[Landric]

Moulds went out USPS Priority today. Thanks to everyone who ordered. Extras are listed by NOE in the Vendor-Sponsor Sales Section.

[J L Dunn]

Hi Landric,

Newbie to this site, but Im now registered. Are there any of these mold still available?

Thanks,

Looks like he has a few. I also saw some from a group buy I was supposed to be in but was never notified when they were ran. Oh well.

[no34570]

Has anyone got their moulds?
I have not yet :(

[sh00ter787]

not as yet - delivery I would have thought would be a similar time for both of us

[MikeS]

I got my mould last week. As you guys are getting your moulds shipped to you from a foreign country (USA) I would imagine it will take a bit longer. How long does it generally take for you to get something from here? I'm having some stuff sent to me (in Florida, USA) from Canada, and both shipments are taking longer than they would if they were coming from within the USA.

Hmmmm.......I can't remember how long it took for the last one from Swede,could have been 3 weeks not too sure.
I'll wait (have too ) ;)

[Waldoone]

I got mine this week. Well worth the wait. Can't wait to get it going.

[sh00ter787]

Received mine today, many thanks Landric - cant wait to have a casting session now!

[no34570]

Arrrgh!
Still have not got mine,bit worried now.

[Landric]

Hope it arrives soon. They all went out the same day. Yours did have the farthest to go, but it seems like it should have been there by now.

Bloody beautiful looking boolit,can't wait to cast some up,just have to go over to my camp at work and grab all my gear[smilie=w:

[Landric]

I suppose 20 days to go across the world and deal with customs isn't too bad...

[rollmyown]

Got mine yesterday. Many thanks for running this group buy.
