  I want a new 10MM mould.

Looking at NOE moulds, good, bad, OK?

I like by bullet in the 180gr range.

I need at least .402, but prefer .403.

More than 2 cavities.

  The RN design, gunna work in my 1911's or should I stay with the RF?

  If I stay with RF,  I'm thinking about the 200gr WFN RG4, any good? 

Any advice on a new Mould would be appreciated.

Thanks

Steve, the reason for the flat nose was to allow for the shorter protrusion of the bullet.  The 1911's will feed the rounded nose  at the longer seating but other 10mm guns may not like the length sticking out that far.

I work to keep all my bullets to 1.2550" or even shorter for the best function and feeding in all of my different guns.

Seating the round nose bullets deeper to get to this 1.2500" lengths, will show higher pressures, therefore you will want to keep this in mind with you mold selection.

Then there are the Wide Flat Nose styles, if the wide meplat can also snag as they try to feed at longer seated lengths.  I have seen that DT and some other were loading those to 1.242" COAL.

You might also look at the MP.  He has a really pretty brass 180-190 or 190-200 mold with pins for HP, semi-HP and flat nose.  There was a group buy recently and he may have some left over.

I have/had 10MM moulds from Mountainmolds, Lee ,Accurate and NOE (not 10MM ).
L--R
Lee 170gr TCPB
Accurate 190 gr LFNGC
Accurate 200 gr LFNPB
Mountainmolds 215gr WFNGC (78% meplat) and a MM 230 gr LFNGC (not pictured- 73% meplat).
I have to load the Acc, 200gr and MM moulds to 1.245" and they run perfectly in my 10's

I have a Mountain mold that drops bullets almost identical to an Accurate 40-200C.  I like that mold very much.  It feeds great in all my guns.

I have a Lee 175 SWC TL. My Glock and Witness' guns both feed the design great.   My 1911 feeds it great as long as COAL is under 1.250".

I recently acquired an NOE RG4 200 grain WFN with HP pins.  I have cast some HP's with it but have not had time to shoot them yet.  They are very purty boolits though.  Comparing them to the MM 200 grain, the profile is similar. I expect it will feed great in all my guns at any COAL that fits the magazine.

I just today received my Mihec 4 cavity mold with pins for FP HP this is one very nice mold I will pose pics of bullets next week after casting some.

Last I heard, there were some left of both styles. There's also another group buy running for a lighter version of the same boolit, 170 solid/ 155 hp, and 150 solid/ 135 hp. Just a guess but I expect that one to go to production before the end of summer. It's got 80 molds ordered and that seems to be a number that gets Miha's attention.

  Beautiful!  Post a few photos of your new bullets and maybe a target or two if you would, please.

Thanks

 This is one of nicest I have seen. I will get some pics when I cast some I will certainly post . My plan is to load over Longshot and AA#7.  I will change out pins and post all three options for you guys as well.

Mihec 10mm - 200gr WFN / .40s&w - 180gr HP, 4-cavity, Brass

That's the results thread over on Cast boolit forums. Lots of pics, load data, some dead critters, etc.

  I sure would like to get my hands on one of those!
