Might I be allowed to say that there is a brass version of that mould in stock at the present time?

Also if you go to the NOE uncategorized page there is & apparently has been one of the 357-190 RF moulds in stock for months now… this mould was designed from the ground up for the 350 Legend.

Thanks! I hadn’t seen the brass mold in stock.
I have decided to go with a single shot and don’t need the easy-to-feed shape of the 190 as much as I want the hollow point for subsonic use. I’m not a huge fan of brass but beggars can’t be choosers so I’m going to have to consider getting the brass mold. Thanks again!
Glad you are considering the brass version to feed your single shot.
You might possibly consider watching the nose shape, & your final sized diameter.
Most of the original barrels, & chambers were originally cut & basically setup for a .355 diameter bullet… not the .358 diameter for the 350 Legend.
Way back when we were taking input in regard to designing the 190 version … I got the below response to my original diameter query back from a major cartridge manufacturer’s that I originally posted on that forum design page early on… to that effect.
The SAAMI bore and groove diameter for 9mm and .357 diameter bullets are all the same, so any barrel designed for either bullet diameter should work, but all factory Winchester ammo uses a .355” diameter bullet and most SAAMI chambers don’t have enough clearance for .357” bullets with the Winchester brass (our brass has about .0005” thinner case wall and will chamber with .357 bullets in many chambers). The spec for the bullet in the SAAMI print is .354”-.357”.Winchester does advertise their ammo as using a .357” diameter bullet, when in fact they actually measure .355”. We believe this is because many states have a .357” caliber minimum. Ultimately the bullet diameter that you can use will be dictated by how much clearance is in your chamber since any bore diameter within spec will work with a .355”-.357” bullet. Most of the new bullets coming out (like the two new Hornady bullets) specifically for the .350 Legend are .355” diameter.
Simply … A word to the wise…
