I cast up about 250 hollow base wadcutters using the NOE-360-148-wc. I loaded a couple of different loads for testing using WST instead of my usual Bullseye. It will be interesting to see how well they work.
I hope they work well since I managed to get an 8LB jug of it. I have enough powder to load 18-20 thousand rounds if these loads work.
Hey Tazman, I have that mold. How have you found the accuracy to be?
I think they must have to be pretty soft for that thick skirt to flare out and obturate under a target load.
I actually was getting better accuracy loading them backwards in my initial loads.

Accuracy has been excellent in all 4 of the revolvers I have. I am not running them soft. I water drop them coming out of the mold, not for the hardness but for convenience sake.
I am sizing them to .358 which is what I use for all the other boolits I shoot in those guns. The bases won't need to expand much if any to fill my barrels. So far they have worked really well.
The only issue I have is I need to be careful when I open the mold that I don't crack/break the skirt.
Ran 250 223's through the Pro 2000, had to stop and go to memorial service for a friend's dad, then an over-nighter at friends house.
Finished up a batch of 45 acp, and switched over to 380.

Hi: Wondering what you and others are finding out about ww lead ratio. Last bucket (115 lb) of ww I got was 44 lb. lead and the remainder was zinc,
steel and plastic.
Did some measuring for a set of "totes" that stack to put brass in and keep the casting gear together.
Be careful,

A friend helped me setup the Loadmaster press. I still need the Pro Auto Disk powder measure and new tubes for the case feeder. Getting closer to getting it running.

Realized I need to cast up some 9mm asap. And it's cold outside.
