Just ordered a 4 cavity. Anybody have one? What version have they copied? Will be shot in a Remlin 1895. States .460 330 grain. Nice and light and only $75. Looks very much like a NOE mold.
Thanks

To each his own , but personally I wouldn't have ordered that if I couldn't get it in a gas check version . Not saying it's an absolute necessary thing but rather that's my preference when I lay out the schekels .

The profile of that bullet "to me" looks like the old Ideal/Lyman 330 grain Gould HP without the HP .

And to be honest before I felt the need or desire for gas checked bullets I used the 330 grain Gould HP plain base bullet to kill a big bodied 6 point whitetail at about 21 yards in a Marlin 1895CB I think that was 2002 or 2003 . Deer walked up to the scent rag I had out I was perched up in a tree exactly 21 yards away , at the boom of the gun the deer dropped like a bag of rocks enough said !

Cheers.

Should be great. Why put on GCs when you don't need them. Never mind the negativity of a collector.
