With the popularity of 8.6 Blackout, there is some interest in having this mold run again. It was originally designed for 338 Spectre, but it has proved to be a good mold for the 8.6 Blackout as well.
There may also be some interest in having a similar profile but in 350gr, for those wishing to really make use of the heavier subsonic that you can shoot from the 1:3 twist barrel that the 8.6 offers.

HillbillyNC, & the other newer members on the NOE forum …
You & the others that have posted that you want a new run of the HCT339-315-FN are going most probably going to have to call Al & ask him that question directly …
This request for the HCT339-315-FN may have tended to be muddied a bit by the original requester also asking for a new run of a 350 grain version of that particular mould …
So it may not be clear to NOE proper exactly what you want run … a new inventory run or a new design mould based on the original HCT339-315-FN mould design …
That is potentially a different subject based on the group buy rules vs the new inventory run requests…
I can only try to help you on the NOE forum … to create an unofficial request listing, & hopefully direct you to the NOE store postings on what you would like to see run…
I tend to believe that there are at least twice that number of individuals who have requested a new run of the 217-17-WC airgun mould, in January of 2022 who still appear to be waiting… for their new run…
One can only patiently wait, and hope for NOE proper to be able to fill all of the requests on the NOE forum…
Just incase … here are those two links to the NOE store pages once again …

I’m sorry that I cannot help you more on the matters of out of stock moulds … I truly wish that I could …
It simply … Is what it is …
Your call on how to proceed …
Take Care, & Stay Safe …
Jay Andrew…
You & the other members of this posting in regard to the topic title HCT339-315-FN, … Might also want to post specifically that you either want the new design for an HCT339-350-FN or a new run of the HCT-315-FN…
Five answers in regard to topic commitment may just tend to trump the single phone call to Al…
Don’t get me wrong … You should indeed make the call…
It might also be wise to commit specifically in a post to a new run request for a new run of the HCT339-315-FN.
I believe that Al shut down the new group buys etc… on January the 28th 2020 in a posting to that effect … I believe this was due to the numerous dropouts on requests a new run and also specifically for the lack of response to the new group buys… to get rid of the tire kickers … I believe was mentioned at the time…
Out of the plethora of requests only (I believe 2 individuals) actually put the money up front … with the promise from NOE that any runs that failed would have their money refunded if Al announced that the by minimum limits had not been met at the end of the 30 day period.
You see Al would run the new batch or the new design, per the requests & only a very few of the requestors ended up honoring their posting commitment to the forum requests … for a new run or a new design … the remainder sat in stock …
NOW… I’m not saying that this will happen again for any reason here… It simply might be a wise idea to also have each of the other 4 individuals, also specifically recommit by posting their preferences… once again on the forum …
It is what it is…
Maybe with enough positive firm commitments posted for either a new run; as well as a new design topic … via the forum postings the members might possibly convince Al to reopen the forum for both thread topic variations…
That’s the best advice that I can offer you … at the moment … besides having others interested in the HCT339-315 commit in an I want on this thread …
The ball now appears to be in your court… Good Luck on the phone call to Al, & in your endeavors to get what your heart most sincerely desires …
Take Care, & Stay Safe…

I want a PB 4 cav brass HTC339-315-FN-BZ1. Note it’s HTC (Hi-Tek powder Coating) not HCT (I think that’s some kind of blood pressure medicine or something).
If the mold would be a 340/339 cal, 350g HTC then I want PB 4 cav brass copy of that.
A version with standard lube grooves would be fine as well.Ok,
I’ve amended your request to the list as now requesting as a 4 cavity Brass Preferred but will take a 4 Cavity Aluminum if that is all that is run…
The forum software spell check on CAPITALS unfortunately still does not check for miss spelled or transposed capital letters… The HTC faus pas … is fixed below in my reply…
The software spell check unfortunately … Is what it is…
OBTW an RG4 Brass version … at the moment does not appear to have originally been run… Nor at least is it still listed @ the NOE store as an out of stock inventory item … at the moment …
On that subject there is only a two cavity RG2 brass version that is currently listed as out of stock … on the NOE store website page.
Would you prefer that instead … as an inventory request item? Or are you sticking with the RG4 Brass version as originally requested?
Maybe you might also want to call Al and request that an RG4 Brass be added to the NOE store as an out of stock item … to get a reading on the brass situation…
On that subject I have noted lately (in the last year or so…) that when a new run of an out of stock mould is run & added to the NOE store …that the Brass versions … still tend to be still left as being out of stock…
There is however a 4 Cav Aluminum RG4 that is currently listed in the NOE store as being out of stock at the moment … Would you prefer that as an alternative version in regard to a new inventory run?

If you gentlemen wish to start a new separate thread in regard to the HTC350 (a 350 Gr) version design (especially adding in an RG4 brass version). I will of course start a new request listing for that new design in a heavier cast bullet weight…
Lest we tend to have another muddied thread between a new design request, & an inventory run request… as recently noted in the 217-17 WC … design requests.
You should also know that the TMT software initial calculations … tend to show that the mould cavity will need to be a larger than standard mould block than what the standard NOE mould cavity currently is …
You can if you wish also ask Al about that detail item also …
To accommodate the additional length that a 350 Gr would require to maintain the current 315 Gr design format … as originally requested, & not stick out the bottom of the mould body.
Nor be too thin to support a potential RG version… pin cut … all while maintaining of that cast bullet profile … & meplat design of the HCT315 mould design, as originally alluded to in the original new inventory tread request.
Not to mention that any RG version would also tend to lighten the end cast products final cast weight… by the amount of lead needed to install an RG version HP …
How does one tend to keep the powder coat from clumping up or being trapped inside the RG cavity anyway?
The addition of the air-soft balls to the powder coating tends to also cause potential problems in that regard… seems to have been an issue for at least one member on the NOE forum …
At least for one individual requesting help on the NOE forum … in regard to stuck air-soft balls in the HP cast product cavities.
Your call on how to proceed…

Alvin,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I’ve changed your request on my computer, & updated the listing for the next time I hopefully get a posting to add something new add to the HTC339-315 listing… I can leave the brass notation as preferred, but dropped the RG version… notation per your revised request
Steel to me would in this instance also tend to be rather heavy… even in a two cavity design … maybe even more so than Brass… However it is what it is … as Steel was also not originally run in the original offering…
However I also have several moulds in steel from NOE… & I tend to agree with you in regard to your comment in regards to NOE steel moulds …
Take Care, & Stay Safe…
Thanks Mike B.
One thing, not sure how you would list it, but if the material is aluminum I’d like a 5 cav.
Just a plug for steel, the best thing about it is when it gets to temperature you’re good to cast without the wild fluctuations of aluminum, which makes them great for winter casting. Brass retains heat well too but I’ve found the steel to be better. On the downside it does take steel a while to get to temperature.Good idea Jay,
The 315 Gr version it is… OBTW in an RG version according to the NOE TMT software the end weight apparently drops to 303 Gr… So the RG HP potentially is a ~ 12 grain reduction in cast product weight…
Looking at the NOE store on the HTC339-315-FN…
https://noebulletmolds.com/site/product-category/bullet-moulds/338/htc339-315-fn-bz1/
There does not appear to be a 5 cavity version currently offered in the NOE store at the moment… So I currently plan to leave the previously posted, & updated new inventory run request list alone … in the interim …
In the interim, Alvin; You might want to talk to Al, & get a reading on potential new group buys … in addition to different materials such as brass and steel in a large or larger cavity count … that you have mentioned in your last couple of postings…
Those intel details posted on the forum … might potentially be of use down the line on potential future group buys…
Take Care, & Stay Safe…
It appears there is a 5 cav aluminum. . .
My sincere apologies,
