great service and quick shipping from noe molds. very happy to get it in 5 days.Started casting and it drops at .266 consistently. this is a non gas checked mold and am looking for a reduced load to shoot at around 1500fps. I have seen some reduced loads using fast pistol powder between 900 and 1200fps. on some of the American cast boolit forums. anyone here have revelelant experience with this. any help would be great.cant wait for some cheap plinking with my Swede.lucked out and got a great 96 sporter from tradex.i have shot a few swedes in this cal. and all have shot well. this one is much better.
New noe mold 140gn.266 for my 6.5x55 swede

My best accuracy in my M96 with the Lyman 150 grain LRNGC bullet is with AA4227. Currently waiting for spring to try 2400 as a propellant. In the past I have tried Unique, Red Dot, IMR4895, IMR 4198 with varying results.
my View attachment 253386full power loads View attachment 253386 don't shoot worth crap. but my reduced loads with trailboss 10gns shoot a great with low noise and no recoil. having much fun powder coating and load development so far.my rifle powder is imr 4831 which is to slow burning but it works ok with jacketted bullets.View attachment 253386
