Had this mould sitting on my bench for awhile, finally got around to scrubbing it up and it's heat-cycling on the bench right now.
Can't believe it's been there so long, been a crazy couple of months. I had to check the NOE forum to figure out why I ordered this mould, LOL.
So, how's it working out for you guys that bought one and have had the opportunity to use it? I'm planning on using it for plinking and possibly a mild hunting load in a 30-30 or two.

Lol that sounds like me and the new 360230 noe. I didn't need another 35 cal. mold, but it was to good to pass up. I've hardly worked with it at all. Good luck with your new mold!
Wish i had a 30/30.

Sorry to disappoint you, Ben. Yesterday was a long day and it seemed pretty humorous at the time. Grabbed three new sets Lee of handles off the shelf, just now noticed they don't match.

Uuumm ? ? I wonder what the bullet looks like ? ?

This reminds me of EBay. You'd like the see the bullet or the mold cavity and all they show you is the outside of the mold.

Terribly sorry, all I got around to doing was scrubbing and heat cycling. Here's the GB thread from the NOE forum.

That is a nice looking 30 cal. boolit! Can't wait to see some groups!:smile:

BTW that's a pretty cool avatar yodogsandman!

Looks a bit like a " Guy Loverin Hybrid " ? ?

I don't know what frnkeore's inspiration was but it reminds me of my Lyman 375449. With it I lube the bottom 2 grooves and crimp into the 2nd groove. Awesome in my 375 Big Bore. I wanted this mould to make some PB boolits, seems all my .310-311 molds are GC.

I'm going to keep an eye on this.
I'd like to see some groups shot with the bullet.

I'd be happy to send mine your way for awhile, all kidding aside it's going to be at least a month before I'll put one of these thru paper.

That is a kind offer, but my friends warned me many years ago, don't loan your girlfriend or your bullet molds. Bad consequences are bound to happen.

I wouldn't feel right about it.

You'll have time soon to test the bullets and hopefully you can share with all of us your results.

Thanks,
Ben

Ben,

I also got one of these, BUT it's too pointy to load in a tube magazine. Only works, if you load one in the tube and one in the chamber. I guess if you're shooting a Single Shot , or box magazine.......

Not any better than any of my other 30 cal moulds.

Glad to make the offer, Ben. Have one mould out on loan now and still waiting to hear how it's working for him, lol. I suggested he try it before he put the effort and $ into buying his own. It's a mould I don't have a use for at the moment but I do want it back at some point.
Taking Ol' Ugly out hunting next week but may cast a few tomorrow if I get all my chores done.
