WHAT took me so long i'll never know, I do know i'll have more of them, called swede on the 18th and had my mold the 20th, went by his instructions and cast a bunch today without a hitch, took about 4 or 5 pours and I had super bullets, it's a 4 cav 311-115RN PB, all weighed in at 115.2 & 115.4, I did do a mod to it, got a 5cav sprue plate from him, a little drilling and cutting, it now uses the Lee cam lever--no banging around for me, wow the bullets jump out of the mold, Ha, happy caster here.

Am trying to post a pic but am having no success, will try some more.

Nothing like a custom mold to make your day.

Got that mold myself, but haven't used it yet. But like all my other NOE molds, I'm sure it will be top notch

I can only speak of NOE and Accurate so far. Both make awesome molds and are also great to deal with.

I only have one NOE mold and a few Accurate molds, both make excellent molds and provide excellent customer service. I just got my first NOE a 225-55 GC and it took a little getting used to casting such a small bullet, but the quality of the mold is what you would expect with a custom mold.

I just got my first NOE, a .358 135gn RG2 HP mold. I haven't had a chance to cast with it but am convinced it will be all I expect from all the positive reports. These guys must be next door to a post office. I submitted my order on Friday night and had my mold Tuesday morning, that is awesome customer service. Lee handles should be here in the next day or two, then it's heat up the casting pot.

I just got my third NOE the 225-55 and it ,like the other two, is a work of art. After cleaning and 1 warm up cool off ( yeah I know you're supposed to do it three times but the wait was killing me) and getting the lead and mold up to temp it's casting very nice little 55gr pills. I have a couple of Lyman 22 cal molds that tend to be a pain to cast with, This mold drops boolits easily with excellent fillout and they are spot on the advertised size. As soon as my paycheck hits the bank tonight, I will have a fourth NOE mold on the way. Yeah, WOW pretty well says it.

I completely understand Grubbylabs.......having to patiently wait for the newest toy to arrive while trying to stifle the enthusiasm of a 7 year old can seem like an eternity!

I have not ordered a mold from them (yet) but I did order a thermometer from them on a Sat night and it was in my mail box by Tuesday, I was shocked! NOE does not ****e around! :)
