Its such a blunt bullet and that GD has a deep HP and tapered nose.

I was surprised myself but looking “thru” the cases at impressions bullets left in brass.

Paco Kelly said he could get this to shoot in the 1/20 Winchester 32 WCF's. It shoots fine, but slow, in my Browning Model 53. I would not be afraid to shoot little whitetails with this with a load of H110.

Blue Dot powder.


I shot all my loadings today. Plus two boxes of 32 acp 71g ball.

Wow this things a shooter!! Even that 32 ball was squirrel head accurate out past 50’

My heavies where fine and hit 950 fps. But I only loaded five so no accuracy testing there.

I did Load up 20 with a 135g SWC cast bullet. Also with BD powder. These I was able to shoot for accuracy out to 50 yards. These hit 1150 fps.

Anyone recognize that bullet? I only have 50/60 pcs.

Real happy with accuracy and handling.

Very Keith-like, whoever the maker might be. Accurate Molds' site would be the first place I would look, or maybe go to Mountain Molds' site and design one yourself on their software. (That was the route taken for the MMSFT spoken of above).

I spoke with the guy I hot it from on CB board.
It IS a Accurate. 31-137 I think he said. I was looking and will be ordering a Accurate 31-135. Its designed for the Single Seven and has a pretty wide meplat like I like.

Here is my 150 (311440) this 135g SWC (Accurate 31-137) and a Factory 115g GD Speer.

In the second pic, you can make out where the bullet stops on all three. Its lil harder to see on the Speer 115 but its there if you expand the pic.

They remind me of the 357 Max. pics from back in the 80's/90's you used to see in the magazines. If you can get 9-950 safely with a 150 and it shoots good groups you have a real trail gun there. I don't know what the muzzle blast is like, but 950 is going to be easier on the ears than the 1400fps stuff.

Can anyone comment on NOE's 312-151-RN-L5 (there copy of the Lyman 311440) mould? NOE's drawing seems to show a more round nose as opposed to the Lyman 311440 seemingly more flat pointed nose. Does anyone have this actual NOE mould ? Also does it cast to the listed diameter in your alloy? NOE has a couple of plain bases in stock but I'm thinking I want a flatter meplat. Dont want to make a hundred dollar mistake.

Range trip last night was very good!
I shot 100,110,115,120,140 & 150g loads with BlueDot and 4756 powders 150g was heaviest rest where pretty light.

First the Factory AE 100sp. They clocked 1480fps and exhibited quite flat primers. Cases easily extracted.

My 150g loads broke into the 1K realm averaging 1040 with .2 g more BD. Accuracy was good.

i shot each load thru the screens into a backer @ 15 ish yards. All shot very well. Then I pasted a couple on the 25 yard backer and shot single and two handed then adjusted sites and did again. Nearly identical groups five each from each load.

7EAAD0CC-5F1A-447C-80AC-7975880AE8A4.jpeg
I had two pierced primers. Both in the lightest load (975 avg) They are from pin protrusion my pressure.
I tried 400, 500 & 550 primers. Didn’t seem to make a difference. Vel was a little higher like 25-30 FPS. Accuracy was good with all.
I didn’t wade out to 50y. But I did shoot softball size holes in the 75 Y berm.

Super happy so far.

Pretty good beginning there. What make is your rear sight? On a personal note I tried to order one of NOE's 312-151-RN-L5 (Lyman 311440) during there "Help us work the bugs out of our new web store" sale but couldn't get the web sight to work for me. My passwords listed wrong somehow.

I received the Accurate 31-135S Mold from Tom on Friday. KUDOS TO AWESOME SERVICE!!

I heat cycled it Friday night and Early Sat I warmed it on the pot and cast some 4-450 pcs. Normal culls from imProper fill out n sags. But she casts beautiful bullets.

I powder coated all of them purple. I sized them Sunday and took about a dozen and loaded them on top of 6.5g Blue Dot. Vel was 1080 and accuracy was beyond expectations esp when ya remember this bullet hast even seasoned 24 hours!!

These posters are just about 1.75” and where shot offhand at 25 yards.

The new bullets fill the cylinders nicely.
