.357 Keith mold, in Hollow Point.

Beagle333 · June 14, 2013, 09:45 PM

I am proud to add this NOE to my little collection.

I can see me being good friends with this one. And it came with 4 blank (unturned) pins too. I think I'm going to turn two of them down to shallow cup points for better weight retention, and turn the other two to needle points for a semi-high velocity HP.

This is my first aluminum mold, so a little learning curve is expected.

(for those unfamiliar with NOE, this is the Night Owl Enterprises 358429 RG2 mold)

You my friend are simply shameless ain't ya, you are admit it.....

I am SOOOO jealous !!! Looking at the pins shown there is hardly any metplat
left on the bullets making them more of a devastator type HP . These should open at medium velocities quite easily even with alloys in the 12 BHN range . I would love to try those in my K14 at around 800 fps . Should be an awesome Bunny Thumper .

Beagle333 · June 17, 2013, 06:23 PM

I think it's gonna be a nice one. I'll share a few with ya 10 Spot-T when I get some cast up. I may even call this one the "Bunny Thumper."

I'm up outta the wheelchair now and as soon as I can ditch this cane and it quits raining in AL... I hope to get in some time spent beside a nice warm pot of lead.

And here's a pic of the 360640 (MP mold). 'Just got it today. It throws a 140 grainer in HP configuration.

All this mold **** !!!

Just remember Beagle333 those NOEs like it HOT !!

Beagle333 · June 19, 2013, 10:33 PM

Thanks! I know the brass ones like it hot. I'll have to learn about this one. My other NOE is a great mold, but it definitely has a favorite "sweet spot" in the heat zone. This is my 2nd NOE and my 3rd MP ... thank goodness I only cast for one caliber!!!

Hey can I borrow it for a few months? I need something on my bench here that's pretty to look at. _

Beagle333 · June 20, 2013, 06:45 AM

If the weather girl is right about it gonna be 81-83 this weekend with low rain chances..... it ain't gonna be all that pretty for long!

GP100man · June 20, 2013, 09:03 PM

Mods , sorry for the ****word.

Miata Mike · June 20, 2013, 10:29 PM

Nothing like Mould pictures.

Very nice! There goes my stars! Really not a very naughty word when combined with the word mould. Bet it was the same four letters GP100man used.

I have the 358-360 with the double crimp grooves. Your going to like that one a LOT.

I gave it some Iso core alloy blended to about 1.75/1.75/96.5, so that I could get the tin and antimony up to around even. Loaded over a good dose of Blue Dot they shot great and expanded wonderfully.

And man 0' man and I ready!!!! I been down for 6 weeks with a bum leg and the weather has been rainy, and now that is behind us and Saturday is supposed to start out at 70 degrees and be nice and clear and so I think I'm gonna get started at first crowing in the morning!
It's casting time!!!!!!!

Who's gonna drown some molds this weekend? Don't forget the pics!
