Finally cast up some Noe Hodgdon bullets

[Maillemaker]

The Noe Hodgdon comes with two styles of base plug, one long, one short.

The shorter plug produces a heavier bullet, the longer plug ends up about the same as the RCBS Hodgdon in weight.

I only had one go at casting up a few dozen of these, but when I weighed them, I was not getting consistent weights. I suspect the mold is cooling as I am ladle pouring each cavity, and you have to wait for the each cavity sprue to solidify before you can move on to the next cavity. I need to try again.

How thick is the skirt at the bottom?
Is it like the RCBS or thinner like the Moose Mold?

Thx

You can see the pictures of the bases in the picture above. They are about the same, about .08" thick.
