Wayne, what do you shoot in your .25 AEA HP Carbine?  What velocities do you get with it?  Thanks.

No problem Ken !!! I know how hard it can be to get these molds sometimes if people aren't aware of them because they'll be gone in no time.  From what I understand Al will be more on top of things with recent improvements Bob Sterne mentioned in a thread.  The mold that I'm keeping an eye out for is the .177 BBT mold that should be in the near future, I have a couple guns I want to try them in and possibly buy me a more powerful .177 pcp to shoot them in.  I'd be willing to bet when those are up for sale they'll sell like hotcakes !!!!!

Thanks Wayne, I had seen the molds in the classifieds and thought it was too heavy for the carbine and didn't know what diameter you were shooting.  My milling machine is down right now, the VFD went out.  I would like to try making a mold or possibly swaging.  I need to size my barrel and get a new VFD.  Do you know if slugs pellets drop at the size of the mold (the actual machined size, not the advertised size)?  Or are they slightly under sized?

Thanks insanity

 i could swear i´d seen swage dies on NOE´s website, melting lead is sth i don´t look forward to
would be really cool if someone offered the press moulds as a mill or cnc service, the press could be made with aluminum tubes and 3d printed parts i believe(not sure what the punching force is for lead?)

Noe lists a core mould in their specialty section. That might be what you saw.

 They may have been sizing dies ??? to fine tune a cast slug .
