What are NOE Moulds made out of? |
|
| We
offer moulds in both C360 brass and 2024 Aluminum
alloys. All of our brass moulds are noted in the
descriptions. If it is not explicitly marked, it is an
aluminum mould. |
| Sprue plates
are made of A36 steel. |
|
|
What type of Handles do I need or do they come
with the mould? |
|
| Unless
specifically bundled and labeled as such, Moulds do not
come with handles. For Best results, we recommend our
premium mould handles. |
| Lee 6 Cavity
handles may fit with some minor alteration. |
|
|
What is an RG Mould? |
|
| RG moulds are
captive pin, tilting pin hollowpoint moulds. These allow
for much faster casting of quality hollowpoint bullets
than typical lyman style moulds. |
|
|
|
What are the options that I am asked about when
purchasing a mould? |
| |
|
Drill for probe |
| NOE recommends
the use of a temperature probe to get consistant
castings. By holding the temperature of the mould
steady, casting dimensions vary less than when casting
with a mould subject to larger temperature fluxuations.
NOE sells a digital thermostat and probes to fit any
mould drilled for a probe. You can move a single
probe between moulds or purchase a probe for each mould
you use and leave them attached. |

Lyman RCBS Top Punch |
| This is a top
punch for Lyman, Ideal, and RCBS style lube and size
tools. Our top punches are cut using the
same tooling as our moulds for a perfect match and no
marks left on the nose of your bullet when sizing. |
| |
|
Mould Wrench and Sprue Plate
Lube |
| We use a
standard allen wrench for all our screws. In
addition to needing this wrench to install or remove
handles, you will occasionally need it to tighten the
sprue plate as they tend to work loose over time.
Sprue plate lube is used on the underside of the sprue
plate and top of the mould to prevent binding or galling
that can scar the mould. |
| |
|
Saeco Style Top Punch |
| This is a top
punch for Saeco lube and size tools. Our top
punches are cut using the same tooling as our moulds for
a perfect match and no marks left on the nose of your
bullet when sizing. These will not fit Lyman,
Ideal, Star, or RCBS Sizers. |
| |
|
What are the two numbers (dimensions) on the
Expander Plugs for? |
|
| The first
number on an expander plug defines the size shelf that
it creates for the bullet to sit in. #1-bullet
diameter should always be +.001 to +.002.
The second number is the neck tension. This should
always be #2 - bullet diameter = -.003 to -.005.
If the shelf dimenison is too small shaving of bullets
will occur. If the neck tension is too little
(-.002 or greater) proper ignition and burn may not be
achived. |

|
Which mould is right for my gun? |
|
| Each gun is a
rule unto itself so without having your gun in hand we
cannot offer bullet fit advice We recommend you ask in
our forums or |
| the good folks
at The Cast Bullet Association regarding what typically
works. |
|
|
What if I can't find what I am looking for? |
|
| We manufacture
custom moulds for several forums via the group buy
mechanism. Typically we require a minumum commitment of
15-20 moulds. |
| If you want a
mould nobody seems to have, ask us, we can probably make
it. |
|
|
Where are your moulds made? |
|
| We manufacture
our products from American made materials right here in
Utah. We source
from American companies and support American workers. |
