Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting NEW NOE 224gr. KEITH MOLD

Hey All... this arrived yesterday..followed the breakin recommended by the maker... and it just works splendidly...4 cavity Aluminum...
220gr. in Lyman #2 Alloy....diam is .433" ... true KEITH bullet...equal length driving bands and square corner grease grooves....
a bit lighter and hopefully less recoil and a little more speed...hopefully easier on your vintage M29 from the 50's & 60s...
we shall see....

.433 ought to be perfect for that vintage gun. Hopefully the sights crank low enough the POI isn't too high and is workable to the point they are pleasant from a blast standpoint.

Have numerous molds from NOE; they work great.

That mold also has a bit more nose/frontal area, which helps slap the game a little better too...

Congrats

Good looking bullet and mould. I'm thinking that bullet may be a winner in the .44 Special as well. Lyman #2 is a good alloy for sure but for .44 Special velocities I think closer to 12 BHN would be better. Looking forward to reading your results.
