Im going to use this for reloading primers. Ive found its meticulous to pound the anvil back in, and this will work great to give me the exact pressure I need. Really appreciate this video
Thanks for doing these "boring" vids. It's valuable info to people like me who are still learning about casting. :)
i have learned so much from this kid,, only thing it has hurt is my pocket book
I used the same technique but with a DIllon bullet seating die set all the way down and a Lee sizing die ram guide. Worked great! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
just got mine in the mail, can't wait to try it!!
I was just using mine today, such a handy tool
Thanks for these fantastic explanatory videos on NOE products. Tuco is a great guy and a very good teacher. I'd buy almost anything that he demos. Please keep the videos rolling!
NOE's products are top shelf, but their weak spot has always been the utter lack of description and instruction on their website. They make absolutely no attempt to explain (or sell) their products. It seems that if the potential customer doesn't already know exactly what the product is, and how to use it, then NOE isn't interested in selling it to them. This goes right down to the abject absence of any kind of markings on most of their products. For goodness sake's, folks! We're 21 years into the new century! Get yourselves a laser engraver and use it!
Thanks! I think that is one of the difficulties when you have a small business. You'd like to hire someone to help out with marketing or other needs, but you're just a small 3 man shop. NOE is local to me and Al is a great guy, so I always like to help him out with what I can.
I ordered one. I've been using my lubamatic II to seat checks. I intend to set this up with a breechlock bushing on my APP. Then I swap out dies and not an entire press.
I was wondering! So when you order it comes with all those different size seating stems?
Just had to go back and find the video, used Mine for the first time tonite. AWESOME tool.
Yeah, crazy how well it works--such a simple tool but effective.
I seat the gas checks first then I powder coat. Works great.
Probably makes them look a little cleaner to
When you push the projectile and gas check through the die there is always a small ridge that forms between the base of the pusher and die. The copper has to go somewhere or otherwise we could not push it through . To eliminate this annoying ridge reverse the bullet and push it through again. I always push gas check designs through twice . This gets rid of some of the annoying ridge.
I use a similar set up but with lee sizing equipment. I take my 311 sizer and screw it into the press, I take the punch for it and push it up into the die and then give it a little tap to get it to stick in place. For wide meplat bullets I just use a standard flat punch. For spitzer or round nose style I use the NOE nose punch adapter. The NOE is a great tool though.
Why not place gas check on first and then powder coat?? This is what I do. WOW what a tool . I’m in.Will order one. Fits on square.
Thanks for the video, I need one of these. My Lee C312-155 has a a fat GC shank that always gives me grief seating checks.
Skeptical Shooter yeah, no prob. It's a really handy tool that doesn't cost much.
I have never tried shooting powder coating bullets. I am wondering if the powder coating 'smears" inside the barrel leaving a smudge of powder coating inside after shooting ?
nope, the powder coating seems to leave no residue behind. Shot thousands of them already and they seem to work great
I have had problems with tolerances on the gas checks bought off ebay...I now only use brand name.....I only gas check 30-30 rounds...other rifle rounds I buy jacket bullets because of speed and leading issues with rifle rounds.
On my high velocity cartridges where I am shooting long distance, I use jacketed bullets. I have not attempted to shoot long distance with cast bullets yet. I currently cast bullets and load for several different calibers and cartridges which has allowed me to shoot a whole lot more for the same $$. Bullet casting has allowed me to shoot a lot of the "odd or uncommon" cartridges, and to do it without spending a fortune. At some point, I want to test the limits of hard cast, powder coated, gas checked bullets running at higher velocities. I also want to sometime take the time to learn the art of paper patching to shoot some of my milsurps with cast bullets at closer to jacketed velocities.
Gator gas checks are at the top of the pyramid. Use them.
As usual late to the party. I think I should just binge watch all your video's and get caught up.
Another Excellent video.
As far as TP's go, I've had both Lyman & RCBS TP's numbered to the bullet they were designed to fit still leave marks on the bullet.
The N.O.E. punches Do Not Do that. At least not on the mold/bullets I have.
What brand of GC's are you using ?
I either use gator gas checks, hornady, or make my own. Depends where I find them the cheapest. NOE stocks the gator checks, and with the discount code "flt001", and no shipping, they are the best place for me to buy them locally.
@@FullLeadTaco GEEZ, that is so unfair. living down the street from N.O.E. Really makes wish I'd gone to work for RCBS when I had the chance.
@@walksfletcher yeah, it's great living so close
Hey is NOE's website down?
Have you ever gas checked the bullets and then powder coated them?
I have. That is how I usually do the ones that I am shooting through a suppressor. I don't think the gas checks would fall off the bullet while in the suppressor, but do it just to make sure. I have NOT used this tool and then powder coated the bullets with the gas check seated only, powder coated it all, and then sized/crimped. If that makes sense. This video shows how I gas check before powder coating: ua-cam.com/video/tU7Ybs--zkA/v-deo.html
You're sizing bullets after powder coating?
Yes
Many top punches leave marks on cast boolits. I like to clean the punch, fill it with hot melt glue then press a lightly lubed boolit into the glue. when the glue set I carve and send off the excess glue. ---- no more marks. (some people use 2 part epoxy instead of hot glue)
When you order a top punch from NOE with a specific mold, that top punch is machined to match the bullet nose profile.
That is nice. I have the gas check seater for my Lyman 4500 that works like that setup. When I start doing gas checks on powder coated boolits I will get that.
How do you handle spitzer projectiles????
The kit has a top punch holder so you can add top punches
@@FullLeadTaco Thanks I just ordered a unit. I made one up years ago and it does well but I like professionally made loading tools. Makes life more enjoyable
Lock Rings ? put a #7 1/2 shot under the screw, the soft lead makes no marks on the steel threads.
Yeah, I still prefer the hornady or forster locking rings--they are my favorite.
@@FullLeadTaco That's cause your a kid, you have no idea how easy you have it these days.
Course I heard the same thing from my Dad & Uncle, 60yrs ago.
Would like to get into casting my own bullets, don't know where to start
How much do you want to spend? Or do you want to go primitive? Have you seen my tacopocalypse video?
That’s cool I’m going to order one tonight
if you don't have any other coupon codes, use flt001 for 10percent off.
Looks like Al finished making these, there are about 30 of them in stock at the store right now: noebulletmolds.com/NV/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=33&osCsid=5hcu6crhi4gg8vialpoe4m9r97
what about spire point boolits is there a top punch that can be fill with JB weld to conform to the pointed nose or does the die fit a lyman style top punch
NOE makes the custom top punches so you can use them in Lyman or rcbs sizers
@@FullLeadTaco gotta have conformal that i can fill with jb weld many of my molds were discontinued from lyman products by 1975. ive been lucky enough to find real lyman made top punches . i could use my lyman #45 lube sizer BUT a lyman gas check seating tool doesnt work with the #45 and like you i powder coat so dont need the wax/grease and the gas check still isnt square
Send me an email. I have some extra top punches that might work for you if you go the epoxy route.
@@FullLeadTaco the noe gc seater what style tp does it use is it proprietary or lyman or seaco
@@FullLeadTaco are you a registered user on cast boolits?
😂 an alcoholic... reloading and casting is absolutely a disease. Those not in it, will never understand it. You still wearing a glove while you reload? I'm one of those dangerous guys that hates ppe 😂
