I remember a time when I could go to the NOE website and just order what I wanted.
That must've been before I got interested in air guns - before mid 2021 - and before the C-19 madness. It must've been nice....

It was, and it was nice. I'm close to being a member of the $1000 club there.

$400 more and I'm there also. Side note I like their mold handles far more than the lee handles I have.

I like them too, but they too are out of stock

Matt I need to order me another pair of handles, no idea if the ones that I have are Lee or if I ordered them from NOE

I've been a member of the 1K club for some time now.

It use to be too easy to get in the 1K club. Now that casting AG pellets/slugs has become more popular it's going to take a long time.
It use to take 4 to 5 days to order and receive a NOE product, but my last purchase took almost two weeks. I'm not sure if it's high demand
or low popularity of AG products. Either case they are great products and worth waiting for.

Bob even when I first joined GTA my thoughts were on casting lead ammo for airguns. I admit I was pretty enthused when Bob Sterne started posting about airgun molds he designed and NOE was building. At the time it wasn't mainly the price to cast either because they pay for themselves in a hurry. My first attempt's were with a setup from England that's cast/swage both, not so good, I couldn't get any of those pellets to work decent. That's not so with NOE molds.

The 6 cavity Lee handles are pretty decent if you go ahead and throw them on the drill press and add a screw to keep them from falling apart.

I pinned my lee handles got tired of the handles slipping off.

I want to start a new thread on the NOE forum for the 217-30-FN-BJ5 BT mould but there are several choices there, it would be simpler if we decide on two or three. Which ones are you guys using?
I want the option for HP and either 2 or 4 cavities.

I wanted the HP version but got tired of waiting for it to be restocked, so I bought the FN. I really don't regret it too much because the FN hits hard without a hollow point.

I prefer the FN, to HP for down range damage, only reason I would use the HP pins is if I needed less boolit weight, or for some reason needed a bigger mushroom.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #49 on:** March 06, 2022, 01:54:56 PM »

The main reason I wanted the hollow point was because Bob said they flew straighter than the flat nose did. I've got two of them though, when I got my first one it was a 5 cavity flat nose only in aluminum because at the time that's all they had, when they had the 2 cavity brass RG2 HP mold I ordered one of those also.

I've been buying molds from NOE for some time now, no idea if I'm in the 4 or 5k club now!

Wayne52 · « **Reply #52 on:** March 07, 2022, 12:52:27 AM »

It's the 1K club I've never seen anything about a 4 or 5K club

Yes, just being silly.

My mould arrived today. After a good, very hot bath and brushing in detergent it is now resting in the oven. Casting day tomorrow!
