In a world full of SWC’s, RFN’s, and HP’s.. is there room for the simple RN bullet anymore?

NOE .358-135GR-RN SOLID BEVEL-BASE

That looks like a great idea! 

I would prefer these modifications:
1. nose not quite so pointy
2. lube groove a little smaller, preferably .060
3. driving bands equal, maybe .100
4. diameter .359

I hope this one gets made!

What the bevel base version should look like as drawn, but with a rounded lube groove and not quite as pointed nose.

As long as I can get a GC version I’m in. Non-GC’s are useless in my guns.
I liked the pointy style in the photo… Is there something wrong with it?

The Slippery 9 was what brought about the this design thought from Swede.

The drawing is more of a SAECO #115 modified to make the 135gr mark.

I didn’t have a pic of one with a GC option as the drawing was in an old PM ( back before the NOE forum existed) and
we never really got that far with the idea.

I could go for a GC screamin’ meanie version

I’ve seen so many group buys for FN and HP’s that a RN seems fresh and exciting.. lol

For now those are the only drawings I have. I’m sure if interest grows Swede will chime in.

That looks like a great idea! 

I would prefer these modifications:

1. nose not quite so pointy – should be about the same as a SAECO #115 nose that it’s based off of. A drawing gives a 2D cutaway view that may make things look smaller than the 3D item?

2. lube groove a little smaller, preferably .060 – it’s fairly shallow compared to the one on the Slippery 9, a 16″ 9mm carbines like a lube groove that will carry homebrewed lubes to the end of the barrel reliably. If it was squared I’ might go .060 but rounded is much less.  I’m thinking we went rounded for easier mold release… but back then NOE had 8 and 10 cavity molds. Idea was minimal tappin, they should just rollout.. ah, I get the happy tingles just thinkin’ about it

3. driving bands equal, maybe .100 – Hummm… would .010 be a deal breaker? if we get the Gas Check option then the rear band might be under .100

4. diameter .359 – I can hang with that

I hope this one gets made! – same here

I like it. I’m in if it gets made. Gas check as I’ll probably use them in the 357 Sig with full charge.
And I’m with Onkel, I like the pointy version . . .

I’d buy one if these are made. Always kinda liked the roundnose.

I sure hope this gets going.  I’ll take it as is, but I would still like the lube groove a little narrower and the driving bands equal.

I like the pointy version.  I would like it even more if it was a plain base and slick sided.

I’d be in for a GC version.  Anybody done the math to see if that pointy nose will be within the SAAMI maximum allowable overall length for 9×19 and 38 Super?

Nose lenght in the drawings is .340, and the first band being .090 you could seat out quite a bit if you wanted to.
In 9mm I think usually between .350 to .400 out works best. Anyway it should be basically no problem to seat it to specs.
For .38 Super I don’t know.

There is some further interest over at cast boolits
http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?320181-Anyone-remember-the-Slippery-9-LEE-group-buy-of-yesteryear
It would be good if we could bring it over here.

I would also be interested in purchasing, as long as a gas check version was available.
