I've had this NOE 45 cal. mold for a couple of years it will cast flat nose, cup point or hollow point bullets. I've mostly been casting the HP bullets and the occasional cup point but I like the HP's much better.
I cast my HP bullets from 50/50 alloy, let them air cool after coating and size to .452" they drop from the mold at around 220 grs. and I shoot them out of my Hi Point 45 carbine and Ruger P90 an get excellent accuracy with both. Here are three examples I coated with Eastwood Silver Vein, Smokes Transparent Copper and OD Green from a local powder coater. I push these bullets with around 6.9 grs. of Power Pistol and get close to 1100 fps. out of the carbine.
Recovered bullet for a previous expansion test I did in wet pack media which is not the same as ballistic gel but if done properly is pretty close. https://www.frfrogspad.com/wetpak.htm
I have my carbines red dot set up for the Lee 200 gr. SWC. The NOE 220 gr. HP shoots about an inch lower with the current setting so I just had to make a quick visual adjustment to my POA and shot the last five shots, they stacked up pretty nicely.
Very well done

Dang nice group from how far away?
Beautiful looking bullets
Are you using trays to keep them inline? I always knock mine over during transport to the oven haha. Awesome coating on those bullets
