8 mm NOE Mold arrived today

[Ben]

NOE, 326331 , 242 gr. round nose, plain base.

I took it out of the box, sprayed it with brake cleaner and shot this photo. I'll be casting some later in the day today.

Many thanks Swede for your prompt shipment of this fine mold,

Ben

I see 2400 going under them. Maybe around 14 to 16 grains?

[Ben]

You're a mind reader, btroj ! !

[Ben]

Cast a few today hurriedly just to see the " numbers." I had 50 % WW's and 50% range scrap in the pot.

I'm happy.

I size to .3255" with my Lyman 323471, so I think for right now I'll stay with this diameter since it is proven to produce some very accurate ammo.

I won't have to worry about the nose slumping or wobbling on this one !

Not a mind reader at all, I just have a tendency to see trends in what people shoot.

I bet it does well lubed with Bens Red too.

[Ben]

Oh Yes, ........It will head down range with Ben's Red Lube.

Looks sweet Ben, I almost bought one based on the fact that the 311331 shoots SUPER in my 30-06

[Sgtonory]

Dam that is sexy!

I have a 5 cav. 311331. I've yet to see a 30-06 that does not shoot the 331' well.

I told a friend of mine recently, when it comes to shooting ............

" If it isn't fun for me, I'll keep changing things until it is fun ! "

Ben,I have a turk 8x57,which mold who you suggest between this one and the 326471,I'm going to shoot both PB and checked. Pat

[Ben]

Pat,

I'll need a bit more time before I can make any comments on the 326331 bullet.

The 326331 is still new to me and I have not had range time with it yet.

I can say that the 323471 is a REAL SHOOTER in my 8 mm Turks.
