I was opening presents at the first of three Christmas get togethers lol To be fair, those aren't cast. I'll get a swaging thread put together soon. Have my 5.7 brass to 30 cal setup now and some 44 stuff now too.BurnedOutGeek said:
I really like NOE moulds.I enjoyed doing that,it was nice to get outdoors and do something for a change. Looking forward to breaking in my new NOE 9mm mold with some of that lead.
Its so tight I can barely open it by hand. And thats after lubing with antiseize. It was a tad better after hitting it with a candle while hot, but nothing like my newer Lee DCs. I had heard how bad these older ones were but hadnt owned one until now.The sprue plate may be just a tad loose allowing it to drop slightly and nick the mouth of a couple of cavities.
I bought this one in a lot from a guy on castboolits so Im sure its older by a decade at least. I already filled out the return form to Lee and we will see how they handle itQC may have slipped at Lee. I had an oversize/out-of-round mold and returned it to them a couple of months ago.
