I acquired a used NOE hollow point mold (RG2) this week for a pretty good price. The seller's pictures weren't too clear, so I wasn't sure what I'd get. It arrived and looked real good, and with 3 sets of pins and nose punch. Two sets of HP pins clearly were never used and the other set (largest HP) only had a little color to them, so I suspect this mold has only been test cast, because after my 2 hour casting session this afternoon, the HP pins were quite heat stained, of course I use 2 cycle oil on them, that might speed that up.
.
Using COWW/Pure (50-50) sweetened with 1% pewter, pot at 720º, the mold drops .362" and 167gr with largest HP. I am OK with those numbers.
