NOE TLC313-150-RF 2 cavity PB (RD) for 7.62x39?

[HiVelocity]

Folks,

Has anyone had any experience with this particular mold, in any rifle? I have the Ranch Dog 165gr, and its a superb design, the mold noted above appears to be a modified
150gr of the Ranch Dog mold. I sure would like to have a copy in my hands to load for 30-30 or 300 Blackout.

Any comments? Suggestions? (Other than "Buy One"! Lol!)

Thanks,

HV

I have the gas checked, RG2, hollow point model and shoot it in 7.62x39, Yugo SKS's. I powder coat it to bring it up to .314". Shoots good!

I'd suggest that you get a gas check mold.

Yo-

I put plain based checks on all of my plain base .30 bullets, normally. That way, I have the best of both worlds.

What kind of load data are you using in your Russki rounds? Just curious.

I shoot this boolit in a Zastava carbine--RD designed this boolit explicitly for the CIP-spec 7,62x39 chamber and bore.

I'm having good luck using AA1680 and -2230.

I use a PB modified RD 170 in 30/30 & BO. The meplat is ~ same as NOE & it feeds from Lancer mag OK. The meplat of the 041 & original RD is too big for the BO. Don't know if the crimp grove is in the right pace for BO either.

HV, 21.0 gr Reloader 7 or 25 gr IMR4895

Haven't bothered to try any other powders but, heard that 2400, IMR4227, AA1680 and AA2230 are all good, too.

I hate to resurrect an old thread, but after a search on the board, I don't see much else about this design.

Anyone used it to hunt? What were your results like?

planning on using it in a new Ruger ranch I picked up on the cheap during "ruger days" locally. Guess I need to get around to slugging that thing.

I don't hunt with it but I shoot lots of them through my CZ 527. I Hi-Tek coat them and like to use a gas check to keep things clean. I typically use 2400 for loading and they are great for banging steel targets.

I have the Ruger bolt Ranch Rifle in 7.62x39. Over 13 grs. of 2400, a .312 bullet makes shotgun patterns, a .313 bullet shoots 2 inches at 100 yards. My bullet is the Lee 312-155 with a gas check and HiTek coated.

that x39 cartridge really shines with lee 185 gr (for the 303 brit) loaded with LVR. A good thread here on this by Larry Gibson. However I have trouble in my sks feeding these heavy boolits. In my bolt gun they are slick to feed!
