I did a lot of reading and listened to some good advice from members here, and decided this was the best choice for me. I already own several NOE molds and I'm familiar with casting hollow points with them, so I'm hoping this will be a short learning curve. If my Flashpup likes them, I'm all set.

I am subscribing to this thread to see what kind of luck you have with these. I knew I should have went ahead and ordered one myself. Now they are sold out again.

if you want to try some let me know. Once I get comfortable with the mold I'll be happy to send you some.

That's a very generous offer. You go ahead and get them sorted with the casting. I can only share my experiences if I can help any.

I may want to strike a deal with you in the future though as I am interested for sure in trying them with the two FX liners I have. I'm currently setup in .30 caliber playing with the same/similar NOE mold.

Attached are some I cast after listening to Bob's advice about sprue plate prep work. Boy was he right and these are some I cast after prepping the plate. The skirts and heads are much improved! Maybe the accuracy too?

Those look really good. I'm pretty good at casting hollow points thanks to advice from an old hand with lots of experience. I'll definitely have a look at the sprue plate when I get the mold. I'm used to cutting bases and not noses.

Those are impressive! I'm not in that league, but all ears.

Thanks, Wayne! I'm still looking at the pressure pour ladle laying nearby.

No update yet. I placed the order on the 23rd and it still says "In Shipping."

Can you point me to Bob’s advice? Looked through a couple threads but didn’t see what you’re referring to.

Thanks for the link! I never read what Bob had said about the sprue plate and think this would help my casting a lot.

Well, I finally got in touch with Al. He said that the mold must have been out of stock when ordered it even though it said 1 available. It's going to be another week or so before he can get another run done. He said things are crazy right now, and they're doing everything they can to get caught up.

triggertreat · « **Reply #13 on:** January 22, 2021, 02:46:05 AM »

I finally have this mold on the way! I got it from a member here, but it is a new one never used. Can't wait to get some cast for my two .25 cals.

Keep us updated! It's been frustrating not knowing what was going on with mine, but at least I know it will be here in a couple of weeks.

As you all know, I have this mold as well. Thus far I have not had good luck trying to get these to group or shoot well at all. I also haven't had much time to put into doing much. I've been crazy busy doing some much needed house remodeling.
Cant wait to see how things turn out for you guys with this mold and maybe it will help give me some ideas to try so that I can get mine working as well.

I'll be sure to post my results here. I'll be shooting them in my Hatsan Flashpup, and I'm hoping this pellet will be good enough to be my go-to. I love casting and I have an almost unlimited supply of lead at my disposal.

Hope you end up with the hunter mag instead of the Hunter like happened to me. Same thing happened when I ordered the hunter mag. It was supposed to be in stock but wasn't. Talked to Al and he said he would run one the next week. I told him that it could wait until he did a normal run. So a few weeks later I received the mold BUT, it's the hunter not the hunter mag. I decided to just keep it but now wish I hadn't. Oh well,live and learn. It's not because it's not accurate but because I have problems keeping them in the sumatra magazine.

I hope so too. We discussed the fact that it was the longer, heavier 34 grain that I wanted, so hopefully it works out.

Al is so busy it's easy to make a mistake. But like I told Al, it's better to be way too busy than way too slow.
