NOE, .311 dia., 103 gr. SWC

[Ben]

Several yrs. ago, I bought an NOE, 5 cavity, .311 dia., 103 grs. SWC.
I got outside today with my 5 cav. , .311 mould ( 50 degrees and bright sun ) and cast about 200 or so....It doesn't take very long with 5 cav. blocks to get 200 nice bullets. I use this bullet for light plinking loads in all my .30 cal. rifles ( it seems to work especially well in my 30-30 T/C Super `14 and my Handi - 30-30 ).

It is one of my favorite bullets in my T/C bull barrel , .32 H & R Mag.

This target is shot with my T/C bull barrel , 32 H&R Mag , 4X scope, with the NOE, 103 gr. 3 rounds, at 25 yards, off of a sand bag front and rear rest. For me, it won't get much better than this !

Dale 53 is a " BIG FAN " of this design.
He is the one that convinced me to buy the mould.

I recently purchased the larger diameter copy of the rcbs bullet. Very accurate in my Lipseys Bisley 32 magnum. Nice going Ben. Good looking bullets!

gman,

I requested a .311 mould from Al at NOE, ( actually throws bullets at .3122 with air cooled WW's ).
My primary goal for the bullet when I purchased it was to use in my T/C Contender 30-30's ( I have a pair of them a 10" and a Super 14 ) and my T/C .32 H&R Mag. , I knew that .311 and .310 bullets would be my best bet. Contenders have tight bores. I didn't think the .314 " would be my friend. Here is a photo of my T/C Contender , 32 H&R mag.

Dale53 was like you and requested the larger dia. mould.

Best,
Ben

Understand that. Had to fill .314 cylinder throats. That’s an accurate bullet. What alloy did you use?

 

[Ben]

air cooled WW's

Too sweet, one of these days I'm gonna get some dies and try that Ben's Red

Ben's Red is some good stuff.
However, I guess I'm more than a bit prejudiced.

That bullet is a fine shooter in my Ruger 32 H&R. No need to try any others.

My 5 cavity will crank them out ! !
Once you've used a nice 5 cav., the others just don't measure up anymore.

Mine is only a 3 cav, highest number of cav they had at the time. A 5 cav would have been my first choice.
Luckily my Ruger is a single action and that slows the shooting some. My 3 cav keeps up just fine. Now a double action, it would want more.....

 

[gman]

Click of a button Brad. That’s all it takes to get one

Just wondering if anyone has tried that bullet in hollowpoint form. Seems it would be a destructive little bullet on pest.
