I was part of this group buy and I received my mold a few days ago. I wasn't anticipating being overly confident in the bullet's performance as I have had mixed results with lighter loads in my Texan before. That being said, I casted/sized some up and shot a few just to see how they did. They performed much better than I expected. I shot at steel on my range and not paper for convenience (I casted/sized/shot after getting home from work) but it was fine for a test. 75 yards basically was hole-hole. 100 yards was about an inch for three shots. 150 yards was 1.5" for three shots and the last three at 175 yards was about 1 5/8" for three shots (pic below)  Two of the last three were touching and one was slightly to the left. I was shooting in a medium crosswind of about 10mph and not using a bench, just my Born Wild Shooting Chair. Gun power setting was on max, 10 wt rc shock oil lube, and running tethered at 2975 with a Joe B regulator.

Definitely showing promise. Looking forward to more 'research'!

Nice shooting there!
Have you run any over the chrony as tested there?
I've seen some promise with a similar weighted NOE and also the 135gr BBT with my Texan.

I haven't run them through the chrony yet, but I'd reckon they are in the mid 940's based on similar bullets. I too have had great success with the NOE 134 BBT's. Best I've shot through the Texan and I've tried a lot of different store-bought, makes, weights, molds...more than a dozen. The 134 BBT's are flying at about 925 fps.
