NOE 118G .25 compared to Barnett 120g

I've been shooting the Noe out of my 25-20 single shot and just received a Barnett tapered bullet at roughly the same weight.
The taper (or steps) of the bullets as well.as nose shape are relatively close.  I haven't shot the Barnett yet but being that its  no longer available it appears that this NOE is pretty darn good choice as a  replacement.
My 44 with a Douglas Barrel by shuttleworth is  shooting roughly three-quarters minutes of angle a big portion of the time and it looks like it wants to shoot better.
We shall see this weekend if the Barnett shoots better.

NOE top, Barnett bottom

I went out this morning and shot both the Barnett and the Noe out of a 25-20 single shot and  25 357. I saw no accuracy difference at all and in fact the point of impact was exactly the same I didn't chronograph them though.

.25-20 WCF, breech-seating in two rifles. 

Shooting the NOE 258-120-RN PB and the Mos 119 grain bullet with the 9.0 grain of Accurate #9 or 9.4 grains of AA 4100, these also have the same point of impact. 

I have been shooting 25:1 alloy with SPG lube, but moving to 20:1 alloy with Javelina Schuetzen Lube.

The Barnett bullet looks interesting, but I own too many molds now.
