Looking for advice on a mold. Casting for 2 different guns, mine is a sig 226 that slugs at .356, my friend has a glock 34 that we haven't slugged yet. He shoots a little production pistol - just local events for fun. I'm undecided if I'm going to do more than shoot leagues.
He is interested in a 147 gr as that seems to be the direction a lot of practical shooters are going. OTOH I've read a fair amount about brass selection issues with the 147's and I don't really want to be tied to a particular brand of brass.
I've been thinking about the NOE 358 135 gr RN 4 or 5 cavity as a reasonable compromise betwen the traditional 124 TC and the 147's.
Of course the NOE 358-135's are out of stock - I have not called to ask about when they might be available.
Am I headed down the right path here - or are there other options I should look at? The accurate molds look great - but a little rich for my blood.
