9mm 125-130 gr. SWC, H&G 275 replica NOE group buy

[Fluxed]

http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index.php/topic,922.0.html

Its the 9mm version of the famous H&G 68 for .45s. 125 - 130 gr. SWC. I've been shooting the Missouri Bullet Co. version and getting good results in my 9mm 1911. Feeds great and cuts nice round holes in paper.

NOE only needs a run of 10 to make the buy. Please post there (or here if not registered over there) if you'd like to buy one.

Thanks.

[Sgtonory]

Its like they read my mind.

[Fluxed]

Anyone else?

[Fluxed]

I think that bevel or flat base can be an option, maybe gas check too.

[gwpercle]

I would like to have a 4 cavity, aluminum , but with a gas check, don't care for the bevel base.
Would be like NOE's 358 124 Gr. TC 4 cavity GC, no hollow points or anything.
I keep trying to buy one at the NOE store but they are not in stock.
Where do I sign up at...I would like to have one while I still have a few dollars extra to spend on one! Tomorrow the dryer will break and ...there goes the extra $$$$.
I've never done a group buy so I don't know how it works or what to do ! help.

Just keep posting your interest here and when we get near enough I'll write NOE to ask about the details. No obligation at this point except for being seriously interested.

Thanks Fluxed,
Put me down as in , for a 4 cavity with GC, I'll tell the wife the money has been spent, just in case the dryer breaks. 3 weeks ago washer broke, replaced it, .....so you just know what's going next!

Gary

[Handloader109]

Really don't need this! Just bought two NOE molds.......getting to be expensive!
Wait! I can replace my Lee and never worry about the powder coated bullet not working! I'm in!!!!! One 4 cavity no GC, I'll take either base. Might buy HP if available.

[Fluxed]

Anyone else?

[captaint]

I suppose I'd just have to have that one, with a flat base though.... 4 cav aluminum.. With that round loob gruv they'd plop right out of the mold !!!

[dragon813gt]

Plain base and I'm in. There shouldn't be a need for a bevel base in that weight range. The bullet is long enough to need one.

[Fluxed]

OK, looks like we have some interest accumulated:

and one more from the NOE boards.

***************
We are getting close.
I'll write Al at NOE to get the details.

[Fluxed]

Al is working on a drawing and we should have it to look at in a couple of days.
More soon.

[JLK]

I would like a plain base as well. I've never bought an NOE. Will there be an option for aluminum, iron/ brass?
Thanks!

[Fluxed]

Don't know about different materials, but Al did say that the choice between bevel base and flat base is available and not a problem to run together.

[JLK]

Aluminum will be fine. I'd also like a flat base.
Thanks!

NOE has two drawings up at their website: http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index.php/topic,922.0.html The design is still in the discussion stage, so you can head on over to there and make your preferences known.

[Dragonheart]

If this is a 4 cavity mold I will take two identical molds with a bevel base; I would prefer brass, but aluminum will be OK.

[Fluxed]

It appears we have met the threshold for a run, but not sure about different mold materials. Attached are the drawings.

Here is the thread on the NOE forum:

Fluxed-

do you shoot this as a bevel base and what is your load and over all length ?

I'm going to start loading 9mm in the near future,
but have very limited experience with auto loading hand guns

Currently using bevel base, overall length about 1.100" and 4.6 gr. WSF.

The bullets from the drawings shown may allow a little longer OAL (maybe 1.115") as I think the front band is a bit longer than my current bullet and as short as about 1.015 with the front band flush with the case mouth. I don't think a bevel base or flat base really matters other than its easier to start bullets in the case when there is a bevel. Flat base is certainly not wrong - its pretty much personal preference.

I agree it's just your preference; some say a flat base is more accurate, but from my load testing using a Ransom Rest, a lab scale that will weight to a hundredth of a grain and anal on everything else that statement doesn't pan out. After all a boat tail bullet in a rifle is about as accurate as it gets. As for me I powder coat my cast bullets and prefer a bevel base because I have bullet feeders on my Dillon 650 presses and the bevel base bullets feed better. So it is just whatever floats your boat. As far as OAL, just like developing the most accurate load in a rifle the least jump to the rifling the more accurate the load. I seat my bullets with as long of an OAL as possible. If this deal makes, it will be interesting to see how accurate this design is in a 9 mm, with the long cone it should function well just like the old H&G #68 did in the 45. I am betting it's going to be an accurate and feed well.

[pjames32]

Posted on NOE. I'm in for a 4 cavity flat base aluminum.
Do we get a notification from Al when they are ready?
PJ

[Fluxed]

If you have not done so already, please post over at NOE in this thread:

http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index.php?topic=922.0

I think its the best place for Al to gather the details and buyers.

Thanks!

[Dragonheart]

if I am counting right the order is up to 12 molds, so I guess this is a go.

[pjames32]

Please go to the NOE forum and place your order. I need to cast some 9mm soon :)
PJ

[376Steyr]

Just to clarify things, you have to go to the NOE website and sign up for this mould there. You will need to register on the NOE site to place your order and give them your contact information. You don't put any money down up front.
http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index.php/topic,966.0.html
When NOE is ready, they will send you an email notification that the moulds are available and will direct you to their website store. There you will do the actual purchase, from inventory that actually exists.
I've purchased a significant number of moulds from NOE, and their service is great.

[Dragonheart]

Some may be swayed to order now as NOE has posted a 15% discount, so why wait?

[pjames32]

Manwithnoplan- go here http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index.php/topic,966.0.html
to place your order. This is the NOE forum from the bullet mold maker. You will need to join this forum to order. Good forum if you make boolits.
PJ

[Dragonheart]

Looks like we need one more order.

[pjames32]

Looks like we now have 12 orders, so it's a go. If anybody wants one now is the time.

[Fluxed]

This one is made - better get your order in now!

Thanks. I got the linotype here on the bench for the H&G 68 test. Uncle sugar had me busy this last month.

When It's 100 degrees here on the Gulf Coast, I am in no hurry.

[Dragonheart]

My order for a NOE #68 4 cavity brass mold came in this week and I put it to the test yesterday and I have to say it produces the best looking bullets of any mold I have or have ever used, and that includes molds made by Saeco, Lyman, H&G, Lee, Ideal and RCBS. The block separation line is hardly visible at all and the lead bullets look polished due to the fine finish of the mold cavities. The sprue plate cuts quick and even and the bullets just fall out. The only downside it the brass is heavy, but with this quality of bullets I can live with that. I am really looking forward to getting these molds in brass.

[captaint]

I just went on over to Al's webiste and signed up there. We should be GTG.

[Love Life]

I still need sign up for the forum and the buy. I may just wait for the overruns to hit the NOE site.

[Dragonheart]

Since you will be starting off with a group buy price and then getting a 15% discount on top of that I don't see the overruns being a better deal than that, especially since you may miss out on a unique and possible a great bullet for the 9 mm.

[dragon813gt]

I still need sign up for the forum and the buy. I may just wait for the overruns to hit the NOE site.

Two minutes of your time to sign up is well worth a 15% discount.

[Love Life]

Done. Looks like I can load my cart with that code as well. Been needing some stuff from NOE.

[dragon813gt]

The code you will be emailed is only for that mold. Tried loading my cart up to get a big discount but no luck :(

[JLK]

Is it time to place the order in the cart on the NOE webpage?

[Fluxed]

It's time to put your name in the hat if you want one of these molds. Act now or you might miss out.

Here is the thread to post your wants:

http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index.php/topic,966.0.html

Al will notify us when its time to put the order in your shopping cart and also the 15% discount code for the group buy.

[JLK]

I just received my 4 cavity brass mold from this group buy but I forgot to order handles. Are there Lyman or Lees that I can use?
thanks!

Yes, Lee & RCBS handles will fit.

[Love Life]

I just ordered my 4 cavity. I waffled to long and handles were out of stock. Dang!

Looking forward to feeding this one to a couple Glocks, a CZ, and if fat enough a couple of 38 specials! I really wish there had been a gas check option. I may send the design to Accurate Molds and have one cut for gas checks.

If you powder coat you won't need to worry about a gas check in 9mm & 38 velocities. I have shot my 9mm 125 grain powder coated bullets at 1300 FPS, with no leading issues even in the polygonal rifled barrels. For accuracy the FPS is lower anyway. I expect this bullet's accuracy to probably be found using close to the same charges with the same powders, but testing with the Ransom Rest is the only way to know for sure.

[Love Life]

I was gonna smack them in the backside with stiff doses of 'splody powder in the 357 magnum.

[Dragonheart]

I haven't run powder coated at 357 magnum velocities, but I will be trying rifle loads in the near future.

I have two NOE handles on order and I hope to receive the molds in the next day or so, as I see from the tracking they made it to the post office. I am anxious to put them to the test for accuracy.
