Al the owner is an airgunner too, so nice to support someone that supports the sport with new products.

I have a few NOE molds and they are top quality tools and customer service has always been top shelf.

I for one can't wait until these are avaible in the NOE web store.

Is there a benefit to casting the pellets instead of swegging them?

The benefit of cast ammo is that a skirt can be made very easy 

with a mold that comes apart when you open up the handles , 

with swaging the dies are usually one piece and do not come apart

there are swage dies that make a skirted pellet but they are very slow

to use . 



I for one am interested in the new cast pellet offerings from NOE .

Meplat on the cast pellet is unavoidable. 

1. Cast pellets are not always the same back to back
2. Swaging is the most appropriate method to make "Pellets" (JSB,H&N only swage)
3. Swaging provides consistency back to back.
4. Swaging dies do take time to form pellets, but the difference is of few seconds if compared to casting. 
5. Split 2 side swaging dies are available with atleast 5 cavities and can go upto 20 cavities on 1 side, casting is limited to 2-3-4-5-10 cavities only,
6. Swaging requires arbour press, swaging kit(punches, pins, bolts), lead wire, wire cutter.
7. Casting requires mask, gloves, melting pot, and casting kit (handles sold separately)
8. Swaging dies are hard to find, hope that they are available soon.

   Tell me what do you think

Speed of production for the DIY producer. With a four cavity mold you can easily produce 600 pellets an hour

1. Cast pellets are not always the same back to back
2. Swaging is the most appropriate method to make "Pellets" (JSB,H&N only swage) I would agree in mass production with high speed equipment.
3. Swaging provides consistency back to back. I do not totally agree with that. Just like casting you have input parameters that will cause variance. Swaging you will be dependent on wire dia, and cut length which will drive variance to weight and size/shape.

Al has the heavy .22cal Magnum Hunters in the store already.

Has any body gots some groupings to share ?

I am a bit confused, I thought slugs was the way to go . 217 cal Bob's Boat Tail now its seems the flavour of the month is Bob's designed pellets.

It all dpends on what your rifle likes. Some rifles do not shoot well with "slugs"

I have a Daystate Regal XL which is a 30fpe rifle and I wouldn't want to shoot slugs in it. I just do not feel it has the power to drive heavier projectiles like cast bullets.

NOE has their new .25 cal pellet molds in stock on the website.

I ordered a mold this morning for the 27gr hunter version.

Hi everyone, 

I am new to the forum and was going to ask about these in a seperate thread, but I see that one of started. Has anyone else tried one of these out recently? I am really interested in trying out a 25 cal heavy hunter mold. A couple guys on the cast boolits forum have had good results with these.

 

[crittahitta]

That purchase is a risky one for sure. A 4 pellet mold is 155 bucks then add on the other stuff you need. Spend the time making a bunch of pellets only to find out they are not accurate in your gun. My head would explode. Lol

 

[Loren]

Me just popping off a magazine (16 shots) out of my .25 Crown at 25 yards. I say what risk? An addiction to collecting lead and casting your own ammo? Becoming ammo independent? Yes there are those risk....lol

The one on the far left is my last shoot and it was all me pulling the shot.

Loren, JSB's??

 

[Loren]

Not JSB's

.25cal 27 gr Pellets I cast in my own home shop in my NOE mold.

I need to adjust the core pins a wee bit on a couple of cavity to eliminate the flash on the skirt of a few of them. No big deal to do, but the mold was hot so I cast a small batch.

 

[jking]

Loren, was the group above shot with the 27gr or 34gr? I've wondered how the pin works, now I know. How do you adjust the pins? The 27's you sent me shot better than the 34's. They chambered a lot easier than the 34's too. Thanks again for the pellets.

The black brackets are simple bent to adjust the pim height. I use an adjustable wrench closed down on the end and give it a little move.

 

[titeuf007]

do you reseize them

 

[Loren]

I do not size them.
