WELL, I got MY MOLD up & running GREAT!

I didn't do NEARLY half the prep work the rest of y'all are doing!

I just dunked mine in Acetone for about 3-5 minutes, pulled it out, and just blow on it so the acetone quickly 'evaporates' away!

Then once I was 100% SURE the acetone was gone after waiting a couple minutes, I took some strike anywhere matches, and just lightly smoked the mold. Set my pot up between 8&9 (about 8.25 if I could be so precise) on my 20# Lee Drip-O-Matic, and set the mold on top of the pot...

Once all was melted, I cast about 30 'warm-up' bullets, and after that all the wrinkles were gone, the mold was up to heat, and she was turning out some REALLY NICE bullets!!!

I agree, I had a little 'fuss' getting the sprue plate screw tensioned & tightened good at firse, but once it was locked in tight it did a fair job of staying locked - unlike some other LEE molds I've tried...

I only cast about 100 boolits, because I don't have much brass yet to load anyway - then I went back to casting 45 Boolits...

Sorry I don't have pics, all i have is my crummy cell phone - but these are turning out GREAT!

THANKS FOR THIS EXCELLENT GROUP BUY, SWEDE!!! I'll DEFINITELY be buying another NOE MOLD IN THE NEAR FUTURE!!!

Swede when you started the thread for the .314 129gr boolit you had stated that you were going to make the same boolit in .311. Are you going to start a thread soon for the .311. I just don't want to miss it.

Kbestenburg,
Look at the projected delivery date on the NOE delivery schedule for the 7 Hunter, that GB went into order mode about 15 Dec.
Now look at a caliper and see what .004 is, ie; .314 - .310, Thats what I did, as I to wanted a .311 copy of this mold BUT I didn't feel like waiting and from a question I asked about "excessive" sizing, everyone said .004 ain't squat, and I got some good ideas about sizing.
Just my $.02.

Could someone this has this mold tell me what the spru plate hole I D is ?? , IE; the what is the ID of the hole in the spru plate ??
