Cast 7mm "HUNTER" boolit
Posted: Fri Feb 11, 2011 1:31 am
Just thought I would post some info on the recently suppied / bought mold from NOE over on the Cast Boolit site.
I needed a nose-rider design along the lines of the RCBS 145 gr which I have been shooting in my XP 7BR. The new mold is a five banger and it sure drops boolits fast, one banks worth at each opening. It has a larger metplat than the RCBS one, hence the "hunter" name as many on that board wanted a hunting boolit.
I shot two matches recently and ended up with two 39/40's. Both misses in each match were definitely caused by the nut behind the butt.
I used the load of V V N140 I use with the RCBS boolit. Very little difference in POI, not enough to even need to dial on.
Well worth trying if you can get a mold. Peter
