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.

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?

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.
