Tooling takes a week to a week and a half.
Then we have to work it in the schedule – usually 3 to 4 more daysEverything goes good and we should have moulds mid month.
As soon as we run and list them on the web-store we will send out a PM with the discount code!Bullet maker, maker
Al NelsonThat is excellent news. Actually quicker than I even dared to hope. Now I’m even more excited.

I can’t find any discussion on this one? I was curious about the background on this trying to decide if I want it. If I already have the 247, is there a reason this is “better” or more desirable over the 247?

Hey Neal. I can give you a bit of input as to why I’m after this mold, versus the 247. First, I’ve been using the Lee 230 for a while, with mixed success. I’ve had a bugger of a time getting this bullet right, having issues with undersized bullets and whatnot. I don’t like the tumble grooves either, since I powdercoat. But, I have worked up subsonic loads I think would be pretty directly compatible with his bullet, which is optimally the same weight. Second, I wouldn’t have any use for what appears to be a crimp groove on the 247. I only crimp my cases enough to remove the belling I made to seat the bullet. Anyway, that’s my two cents.

Thanks for the reply AJ. Usually there is some discussions on new bullets before offering a buy on them. This one seemed to pop out of nowhere and seems like a fix for something? Is it another choice for a BO bullet or is this better than the 247 because of some shortcomings that popped up? My paranoid mind starts churning when my legitimate question is ignored? If I missed some discussion, I searched and didn’t find anything, then point me there so I can read for myself. If this is NOE offering their version of the LEE 230 then just say that and my curiosity will be satisfied.

Neal –
I’ve heard a lot of good things about the NOE 247, it’s what originally brought me here. I’ve heard a lot of first-hand accounts of folks having solid results with them. I’ve heard mixed results from the Lee 230, especially for those who don’t powder coat. Personally, I don’t like the tumble-lube grooves, I feel they breed inconsistency. I was given the cryptic reply by Lee that “The bullet is not .309 on the full bearing area”. Regardless, there has been a fair amount of testing on the 230-grain bullet, and I feel there’s a lot of reliable data out there.
My take on NOE offering a 230-grainer is that 300blk has been a very popular caliber for them, and it makes sense to offer some additional flexibility for those that are testing and enjoying this caliber. I’d take this new offering as a testament to the success of the 247 mold, rather than a sign of any sort of shortcoming.

Neal…this mold IS NOT being offered at all to fix anything with the 247 because the 247 has nothing wrong with it. This mold is being offered at my request to fix the errors in design with the Lee 309-230-5R. Gets rid of the boat tail, gets rid of the tumble grooves, and increases the bore rider section at the front of the bullet. In addition it is made with a diameter that is more conducive with what caster want….. .311 rather than .309 (which actually cast about .307″ in the Lee).
I am very appreciative of N.O.E. offering to make this one for us. It will be a very nice improvement to the Lee mold and a nice addition to the other 300BLK offerings from N.O.E.
