    This thread asking which mould for the M1 Carbine keeps recurring.
    I will state once again that I have tried many molds for the M1 Carbine and find the NOE 311-121 to be my favorite.
    I have this mould in a 4 cavity and plenty of 30 cal GCs.
    It is a 120 gr., RN, GC bullet.
    I size to .309 and lube with NRA 50/50.
    I have an 8lb keg of WC 820.
    That should keep the grandkids happy for a long while.

    If you’re still wondering about a mould for the Carbine, I can send you some Lee C309-113F bullets that I use. PC’d and sized .309” and gas checked.
    They feed and shoot just fine in Wifey’s .30 Carbine.

    THANK YOU. I have the lee 120 grain mold, like it, but find the two cavities tedious. I emailed lee about getting there 120 grain mold in a 6 cavity molt. $250 set up fee plus two molds at 65 each comes to $280. Thank you for your generous offer. I think I will simply order the NOE mold. Thanks again,

    Mark

    Thank you Dale, that's all I needed to hear. I know, it can be tedious seeing the same questions popping up. I'm going to order the 4-cavity mold right now, thanks for letting me know it is a good choice.

    Thanks Mark.
    I should have addressed my post to Jkrem- that’s who I meant it for.
