NOE H&G 68 Clone VS Arsenal moulds H&G 68 Clone

[Love Life]

I am looking to purchase another 4-5 cavity H&G 68 clone. Normally I go straight to NOE, but they only have brass in stock, and Arsenal Moulds beats the NOE price by a pretty high margin.

Is the Arsenal H&G 68 mould the same as the NOE H&G 68 Clone? I don't want to have to adjust depth, crimp etc if I buy a clone from another company.

Thank you in advance!

I own the NOE version, it doesn't look anything like the website drawing which has a very pointy meplat like the Lee version. The actual boolits from the NOE mold look identical to those on the Arsenal website, and drop about 210gr with range scrap. I have one Arsenal mold and a bunch of NOE, but not a knock at Arsenal's quality as I discovered them later. The NOEs are slightly better finished. On the Arsenal, the sprue plate came with some sort of painted coating that I accidentally scrubbed off during the initial cleaning, but it doesn't affect function in the least. Hope this helps.

Sorry for crappy pics.

Based on dimensions from the Arsenal website, they should work for your purposes.

I got a 5 cavity mold from Accurate Molds that describes it as "H & G Clone" right in the catalog. The number is 45-200H. Tom shows turnaround time is 4 weeks, but in my many experiences with him, wait time is much less.

Tom's clone does not have the flat front shelf or the rounded nose of the original H&G 68. His equipment has limitations that I believe prevents him from doing an exact copy.

My Arsenal molds have always been a real good mold!
Cast nice and true and drop bullets very easily they are nicely machined.

I'm liking the Arsenal molds. They drop a good boolit, and the price is nice.

Have any of you used the following arsenal molds 432 260 PC or 45 70 330?

I can vouch for the 45-70 330 gr mold.
I have a load with 2400 that shoots a ragged hole all day every day winter or summer.
I would not part with that mold for all the tea in china.

Sorry no experience with the 44 mold.

Have used a friend's .45-200H 4 cavity mold. Best mold he ever used, he told me, I agree with him. Harles

I have the 45-200h and it for sure a excellent performer. With a 4 cavity and not trying hard 300 bullets under a hour is normal
