NOE 226-45 gr RF

[AlaskanGuy]

Hi guys and Gals

Well, i got my first NOE mold for christmas, and i cast with it for the first time today... It casts very nicely... Being a 4 cavity mold, it was a pretty hot and heavy session, and after breaking in the mold i cast about 300 or so keepers that I still have to weight sort.. Culls were pretty low, and with my alloy, i was getting the boolits right at .226 with a OAL of .480 on the keepers. No longer will i have to search for boolits for the 22 Jet... These little guys should shoot nice with it... Of course i am also gunna shoot them out of a bolt 223, and might even try them out in AlaskaGurls 22-250... My first NOE though, and although it was a bit spendy, it was on AlaskanGurls dime, so WHO CARES...lol

Here are a couple pics to make ya drool...

If anybody want to borrow this little beauty to cast with, just PM me so i can tell ya to jump in the lake in private... :kidding:

Nice lookin Boolit!!! Let us know how it shoots, it ought to be right on for a slow twist 223

[AlaskanGuy]

Well, mine is a 1 in 9 for the 223, alaskangurls 22-250 is 1 in 12, and the 22 jet is also 1 in 12... So one of them guns ought to just love it...lol

[TheCelt]

You have it covered for sure!!! I'm betting the 223 at 1-9 will do alright up to 1700fps or so, maybe more. I'm really looking forward to hearing how the 22 Jet likes those pills!!!

In the 22-250 use 4g of bullseye or similar fast powder.just roll them in lee alox and don't use a gascheck.I use the ldeal 225438 for this and it groups inch(ish) at 50 yards with this load.BTW I have never weight sort 22 cast and my.guns seem to shoot as well as others who do.

Looks a lot like the Bator.

Looks a lot like the Bator.

It does, nose profile is not quite as abrupt and lube grooves are not as pronounced but it is close!!!

[AlaskanGuy]

I will weight sort them.. Ole Larry gibson got me into that habit, and now cant seem to break the habit.... I will shoot some next week hopefully....

I'll bet there's not much more than plus or minus .1gr, be interesting to see though!!

[waco]

Those small pills can be a PITA to work with......

Waco, don't want to drift to far but is that the Bator??? What does it weigh?

Yep. Bator. 51.6-51.8gr

[TheCelt]

Sweet lookin Boolits Pard!!! Dang, I love these 22 threads!!!

[waco]

I'm new to the game. This is my very first .22 mold.
I'll be loading these for my CZ527 in .221 Fireball.
I hope I can get decent accuracy @ 50 yards. 100 might be pushing it.
It's a sub MOA rifle @100 with J words.

[AlaskanGuy]

Mine are between 45.1 and 45.7 grains.... Even smaller then the tiny bator... Cant tell though unless you put them side by side...lol

Waco, your boolits are always purty... :)

I am gunna shoot these with 2400.... Prolly start the ladder at 7.5 and go up to about 10... I am sure that once weight sorted, they will group well at 100 yards in my bolt gun with 1 in 9 twist... The bators sure did, and so did my 62 gr miH ar mold in the bolt gun...

AG and Waco, Ya'll take a look at the thread "Noe 225-70" by Shakey Jakey. He has done a LOT of testing with a 1-9 223 and his results may be interesting to you. He used 2400 and 5744 as I recall and got sub MOA accuracy. Members "Beagle" and Jim also posted a lot of testing on cast 22 Boolits you fellas may find helpful.

Waco, I just saddled this pony as well!!! I'm trying to develop a load with a Lyman 225415 and right now and am at MOPiePlate. I've made a few mistakes but I've gotten a lot of help and think I'll get the groups down to an acceptable size soon, hope so anyway.

The NOE 226-45 RF is one of BRP Mold designs, it was designed by BaBore for the 22 Hornet there is an old long thread on it here somewere, I have a 6 Cav BRP mold that is 3+ yrs old. it has cast thousands of them. I shoot them in a my Stevens 322 K-hornet 1x16 twist with IMR 4227 at 2675 FPS heat treated WWs . My brother loads them in a regular NE/H&R Hornet with 1x12. Altheating feeds several K-Hornets with a BRP mold also.
