        It takes at least 5 firm requests for an out of stock mould to be run per Al’s requirements as noted below in regard to inventory runs:

        https://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index.php/topic,1624.0.html

        Looking at that inventory item… There is apparently still some stock; Like 4 cavity BT, 4 cavity Brass, & 5 cavity BT.

        That being said … I have begun one of my unofficial lists for you on this matter…

        The list has just been updated to show that particular mould you are looking for… as per you reply of this evening.

        I do sincerely wish you good luck in your endeavor to get the mould in the format that you desire.

            Be aware that the HP version of that mold is the earlier type, with fixed HP pin…. I would hope that Al could be convinced to change to the RG style pins when he makes another run, so that the one mold could cast, Flat, Cup or Hollow Points…. If this is what you would like to see, you should indicate that  in your post…. If we get 5 wanting RG style molds, there is more chance of him doing that, I would think….

            Alternately, I have done a new design of this bullet, and perhaps we could get Al to replace this one with the new one, which will have RG pins…. Note the drawing is for a .257 version, but the weight if scaled up to .308 cal is shown in blue (151 HP, 155 FN)….

            The dotted line in red is a slightly shorter version with 50% (0.129″) Meplat which could have a larger HP, but I would prefer the original 40% (0.103″) Meplat….

                Yes, I would go with the “RG” style. Thank you for that message.
