My new mould from NOE

[slug]

A very innovative idea:
It's a .45/70 flat nose mould with removable base plugs that can give you the choice of weights: 290 HB, 350, 405 or 500 grains.
This mould is designed for powder coating.
The steel d/c mould cost me $211 landed.
They make this system for 9 mm, .38/.357 and .44.
If it came out in .30 cal., I'd be happy as a porker in the poop.

Very interesting, Too bad I bought their SC460-350-RF-AE1 2 Cavity RG2 PB Mold which came with 2 sets of pins. shallow hollow point, deep hollow point and no hollow point.

I bought a Russian 12 ga. slug mold last year that does something similar. It came with 4 base plugs that allowed you to vary the weight from between 525 and 400 grains by increasing the size of the base cavity.

I want this one very badly!!!

Mike at Full Lead Taco did an unboxing on this one. He's in Utah and collabs with Al at NOE quite a bit.

His channel is on Rumble.

I have one of their Pritchett bullet molds for the Enfield muskets excellent quality

So, Slug was kind enough to lend me his new mould and I took it for a dance. I shot this group with a Siamese mauser in 45-70 at 100 yds. 30 grs of IMR 4198, 500 gr slug sized to .460"

I'm sure it will do better than 2 1/2" with more testing.

Nice rigging!

How are the base plugs held in the varied base filler pins, just screw threads?

I was on a .22 caliber casting kick for a while and bought one of NOE's 224107 repro's, and saw nothing that I didn't like in the build quality!

Recoil is what one would expect from a 7 Lb rifle! I've shot worse for sure. My buddy's 9.3 X 64 Brenneke is punishing!!

I was at the range last Friday doing more testing with Slug's new mold. Two different rifles: Ruger #1 (45-70) and Browning 1885 (45-70)....and two different bullets: Campro (500 grs) and Slug's (500 Grs)
Same charge: 30 Grs IMR 4198
Here's the target:

The Ruger seems to like the Campro's and the 1885, Slug's.................at least for this comparison!!!!! More fun coming!! The 1885 is the more accurate rifle............at least for this test!!
