Hopefully you got the 20% off sale code.
Congrats on the mould they are miles ahead of Lee. My Lee moulds are now paperweights stripped screws and all

20% and boredom were the catalysts for my purchase.
Mind you use the old site as the new one would not accept the discount code
You also have an Accurate mold that has one cavity that is 460 gr and one cavity that is 490 gr. Accurate molds are super nice too. I produced a few of these big bombers yesterday for future use and just because. 15 490grs and 20 460grs. I also did up 600 .45 acp. There are around 2500 .45 acp done up.
Enjoy! I still like my lee molds but it is always hard to start using such gorgeous molds for the first time. thankfully i didn't get the code so i can keep my money, though once my powder coating and lead casting station is built i may have to get more.
I got bit by that bug too. I think it was a pre-Christmas sale or something. 20% off anyway.
I got a beautifully made HG#51 copy to make full House 357 Magnum loads without any gas checks. The mold and bullets work perfectly! I also bought a 452 230 gr RF that I haven’t had a chance to use just yet.

Well this thread and the warm weather got me inspired to run that second NOE mold last night. It was a very nice experience. After seasoning per instructions and warming it up on a hot plate it took me about 4 casts before I got a bank of 5 perfect bullets. I cast a whole 20 lb pot in about an hour. The bullets all look to be perfect sized and uniform. I wish I could say that about my Lee 6 gang molds.
I have 3 Lee 6 gang Tumble Lube molds that in general spit out slightly oversized bullets but also have one or more extra oversized bullet cavities of the 6. The Lee Carbide Factory crimp usually makes handy work of those by swaging them down but you can feel the difference in the handle on the press for them and no doubt they don't fly the same as the others. I had to ask, what's the point of casting TL bullets if you have to size them!!!
This NOE mold is also a TL design and very consistent. They all are exactly the size they're supposed to be. I'll be buying a few more molds the next time I see the 20% off.
