Looks like these are available now.

Thanks a ton, Alex! I have been waiting for the NOE email notice on these. I just placed an order for one.

Lol. I'd like to try it, I'm holding out for the 68 gainers.
Like to hear a review from you if possible after shooting these. Thanks!

It could be a while before I'll know something. I want to get the heavy liner now that I have a reason to. I may be able to try some in the STX liner or my Slug A liner to at least play some...You never know.

Got one on the way for my Challenger Standard. Added the .30 sizing dies in a previous NOE order.

I went for the two-cavity brass. I typically go with the four cavities but wasn't an option. I think I'll like the two cavities better anyways. I have the sizing dies already, too.
-
I find less cavities to match up the better, went with 2 cavity AL myself, but for pellets I prefer brass.

That's what I was thinking when going for just the two cavities, more uniformity. There was a four cavity AL to choose from. I flip a coin every time I order a mold in AL or brass. I can work with either one of them.

300-55 mold arrived yesterday, now waiting for me to have time energy to break it in and test the slugs. ;D 8)

I might get mine today. I had mine drilled for probe. Looking forward to your results.

Hopefully they're not too loose, I've read others that said the best diameter is .303 for the Challenger ???

I agree, Wayne. Hopefully they are slightly over with the diameter so they can be sized equally if need be or can account for any shrinkage. It was good to get the membership discount this time around.
-
With wheelweight lead they'll be a little larger in diameter but I suspect they'd be about .302 ???
-
why does the NOE site say these are 360 gr bullets? If they truly are 55 gr, is this the one that we all were working on for 30 cal?

nevermind. with further looking this is the one we were working on. i just ordered mine. 2 cav brass. hope my impact agrees with it.

It is great to see you joining in. Will you be working with the heavy liner? That's the one I do not currently have and feel I may need.

I have anticipated I may have to polish them out a bit to get the best results, will test as is first though. Might be a good as is for that ROTO Metals lead free alloy, that is a bismuth tin blend, and seems to drop a bit larger, also a bit harder to chamber.

Adding in a picture of the new .30 caliber NOE HP slug mold to this thread.
-
Wow that's a deep hollow point, I only took mine ouve it's shipping packages so far 😂

It is but there is also an additional shallower HP pin and a non-HP pin set included for more weight and versatility.

I currently only have the superior liner. So, hoping this work with that. If not, then I'll get the heavy liner. I just got my order complete email and tracking number. I do see it is recommended to run the heavy superior for slugs over 50 gr.. So a twist of 1:22 in the superior versus 1:18 in the heavy.
Triggertreat. can you cast some up and slug the superior and see where sizes are looking like? I may need to get some .30 cal sizers now.
-
I see around a .297 average pushing a pellet through the superior liner in .30 cal. pellets are starting at .299 dropped from the mold after casting. this would indicate around a .003 choke on the superior liner. can anyone else test and add their findings. may need to have NOE make some smaller .30 cal sizing bushings. he currently stops at the .298
-
It sounds like I will be bumping up my mold to drop at .303 or a bit more, and sizing down for my AEA Challenger.
-
James push one down the barrel to see what it looks like, I'd at least try one to begin with anyway ???
-
NOE isn't playing around. I just received my mold today. Its cleaned and things are heating up now to get it tested out. Excited and got high hopes for this meat missile.

Oh man I’m covered up with stuff going on and it’s 104° outside currently in the casting shed. I did get mine washed up with soap. I'll probably be doing the heat cycles soon. I'm looking forward to your reports coming up.

You bet, Wayne, only way to know things for sure. may get time to get the mold seasoned and cast a few by Wed.
-
no heat cycle for me. need to polish pins as they are a bit sticky for my liking. this brass 2 cavity is a monster of perfection from NOE as always. .2 gr difference. seeing 56.1 gr average in HP using pure lead. Started a new thread in the casting section.
Preliminary test looks dang promising. need to develop a tune for my impact with these next. current tune has them at 790 fps on max power.

A few extra steps but something I have tried before with good results to increase the diameter for testing purposes was to use one of the pins in my drill press with a set depth limit. I also used half of the mold clamped down as a guide. When you apply a little downward pressure to the slug using the pin only the base expands a bit. I then run them back through the bushing for even consistency.

I'll be looking forward to your results James, if it puts a decent rifling imprint I may have to order one of the molds, I will probably order the aluminum one if I do because with larger calibers
I don't feel that the brass mold would be as much an improvement as they really are on the small caliber slugs and pellets. With the .458 BBT's I cast for my .457 Max aluminum works good IMO.
