noe311115 in a .308 win.?

[35 shooter]

Anyone had experience with this one in .308 or 06? I've seen a lot of mention with it in .30 carbine, but not much else.

I want to develope a light load for small game for my .308 with a light bullet with a flat nose.
Any other mould suggestions would be welcome also, but i prefer a flat nose design and 115 gr. or less in weight for economy.

Shooting ranges would be pretty much 0 to 100 yds. Loads would probably be in the 22 lr or 22 mag. velocity range.

Try 6.0 grs. of B'Eye

or 7.0 grs. of American Select.

For cheap, it is hard to beat the Lee C309-113F .

22 bucks for a double cav. mould.
Might have to do a little work, but the bullet is a good shooter for me.
Mine size out good to .310 or .311

If you want to run on the cheap, you could even plain base one cavity.

I have both GC and plainbase versions of the NOE 311008. For a lighter bullet, I'm tempted to try the Lee TL314-90-SWC.

Yes, I've had excellent results with the Lee TL314-90-SWC, 32 pistol bullet in both the 308 W. and the 30-06.

Buddy,

Look at this :

I THOUGHT I recalled photos of groups with that TL314-90-SWC, but didn't find them.

Just got the NOE mold (GC'd) when NOE had their last sale. Haven't been able to use it yet. Will be watching your responses.

I've had good luck in the 30-30 using the Lee 309-113F and wanted a NOE with more cavities.

I THOUGHT I recalled photos of groups with that TL314-90-SWC, but didn't find them.

How about this :

Lee , 93 gr. Plain base , tumble lube , .32 Cal. pistol bullet.

They drop from the mould at about .3135". I size them to .311" The tumble lube grooves are filled with Ben's Red, and lastly the bullets are rolled in BLL.

This will make a great training load for my grandson.

You have to shoot these to believe it. Totally amazing.
At 93 grs. with 6.5 grs. of B'Eye and a large pistol primer in a 30-06 case , this is some cheap shooting.



By the way, we shot several groups like this today.
It is not a fluke.

My scope was at 4X.
Makes you wonder if the vertical stringing is the scope, the load, me , or a bit of all of it ?

Ben,

That would work just fine for what i want. I looked at that very bullet in the lee line up a couple of days ago, but wasn't sure if the swc would hold up well @ 100 yds. accuracy wise...looks like i was over thinking things a bit.

Just hope it will cycle in my mauser.

If you lay the nose on the feed ramp and slide the rear of the case slightly under the side rail, it will probably feed as a single shot.

Trying to fill up the mag. box, and it feed normally from the right and left side...........NO.......................
