I would go with a gas check mold. I would think better for all around use.

OK, so what should I change in the equation? I haven't bought anything yet. Should I plan on using gas checks and ratchet up the power and harden the alloy? Slower twist barrel? I have a 300blk...

I really like mine. I've had good luck with NOE 311414.

Hi Guys,
I have searched here but I'm not finding all my answers yet. Please give me your opinion of what I want and tell me if I can do it.
1. cast boolit load for an AR. 1/7 twist

60 reads and no replys. Maybe I'll leave that powder for my pistols and wait for some 2400 or unique.
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
Hi Guys,
I've heard that NR-485 is really CSB1 which is supposed to be like universal or unique. There are alot of "supposed to" in that statement. I'm working on a load for my 30-06 with a NOE...
With the baffle or without it doesn't meter well through my measure. Which is terrible because I really like the powder. Shoots great.
I'm surprised no one mentioned the 309414 from NOE. That one does well in mine on top of about (check your data) 16 grains of 4227.

I still have mine. 1970 International still on the side of the house.

I had some discoloration on some of my PC'd bullets like you have. I found it rubbed off, to my surprise the PC was nice and shiny under what looked like damage. The dies don't do it anymore.
PM me, I'm happy to PC some for you. I can ASBBT them for you, that’s where my best results have been

+1. I do the same thing with my 135 grain NOE 9mm mold.
My GP really liked the lyman 358429. Over red dot or clays in 38 cases or over max 296 charges in 357 i know it shoots better than I can
Another vote for a CZ75. Find a Shadow and worry about not being able to keep enough rounds loaded.
Shooting our favorite 358429 on top of 2.9 gr of clays (max load, not +p though) was almost exactly like the 125 gr +p gold dots I've shot. Shooting them one after the other I'm not sure you could...

I haven't used VV110, but if it acts like H110 or 296 you wont get the load density you need in that case to make it work right.

I got 2.40 per lb. A nice swap for a bunch of medical cores. That made for a lot of cheap lead. I didnt clean mine up, but I wondered about just hosing it off a little. If they would have refused...
The Lee works well for me unless I powder coat it. Then its too fat to cycle reliably The 311414 seems to be the answer. No joy on loads better than 3 inches at 100 yet. But it cycles great. I...
I have a little gap in busy season, I intend to make the most of it.
Hopefully Monday Ill be testing 311359's, 311365's, 311410's and 311414's in my blackout. Should be a great day as long as the range is open. :)
