Title: NOE's 217-24-RF Mold is a winner in my book
Post by: Wayne52 on November 09, 2018, 02:30:24 PM
I have only been using the lightest ones which are all close to 23 grains on my Gemini-20 scales.  They're the Magnum Hunters in .22 is the official name for them I guess but I've really only been using them for very little plinking and a lot of hunting.  They seem to be very accurate in a few of the .22's that I hunt with which are my Hot Rod Prod, Airmax Dominator and my DAR22.  I've shot many squirrels with all three guns with some nice long shots as well.

The meplat design makes for dumping energy right at top of the list for hunting too.

Me I am still just very happy with my  34g .25 mold... have not even messed with the short pins... 34g is enough for a 50 fpe rifle... I hope Al keeps the pellet molds in stock for a good while and they continue to sell for him... probably some time next year will pick up one of the .22 pellet molds...have a lot of birthdays clustered this time of year...so need to wait a bit... I am just thankful we have someone  that has the skills and means to attempt to make pellet molds... I do think if you have never cast before coaching will help because there is a learning curve to casting your own period... and small pellets are the hardest round you could take on when casting...

was worth the gamble that I could pull it off... But without Al having the skills to be able to pull his side off... I think what is necessary on his side rises to the level of art...

Thanks Wayne for showing that casting pellets works down at .217 also.. ;) those skirts look GREAT...

Both of the .25 molds that I have are great molds also and the pellets shoot fantastic also.

These are the .25 Hunters, these are the 26 grainers, they shoot really good.  I've also cast some of these in 27.5 grain as well, they too shoot great.

These are the .25 Magnum Hunters and they too are darned good shooters, these pellets make up to 60fpe from my DAR25 when it's tuned for it.
