I'm getting 137~139gr with the NLG & flat base using range lead.

I've done it the other way around. Clear PC over HT. HT for the color, & clear PC 'cause it's more durable.

Thanks MiHec! I received both moulds last Saturday. I hope it doesn't rain in Houston this weekend; can't wait to try them out.

I don't think a magnet would do anything to the hard drive. There's already a super strong magnet inside the hard drive itself. You can destroy it physically, or use a software like dban or western...

I should add a note that she's from Southeast Texas, so maybe the Whelans everywhere else are pronounced differently. I don't know a real Irishman to ask.

I'm using 10bhn range scrapes & it's working with Smoke's clear pc. I did take me a while & a lot of reading in the castboolits forum to find & try all the tricks to get 9mm to stop leading. I'm...

I had a teacher with that last name. She prefers wii-len/wee-len like sweden. No whales or wails; definitely not Waylan.

Wasalmonslayer, I'm #9 on the Hitek list. Can you put me down for another of the same? I want two of the same mold. Thank you.
I was able to test this titegroup & PC combo today & it works fine. No more keyholing, & the barrel stayed clean.

I got 9mm to work with titegroup & Smoke 4320's PC. I used the #5 tub shake method. The same bullet was leading & tumbling with Hitek.

I was able to use titegroup with Smoke's PC without leading today. If you want to stay with titegroup & COWW, I would give PC a try. I think it's more forgiving with alloy types & lower bhn.

the Lee 38s&w powder through expander, expands 0.25 deep. So you can seat a flat base boolit 0.25 deep into the case before it start swaging.

You can try this.

What powder were you using? I had leading with titegroup, but not with WST. Same power factor.
Which PC are you using? is the polyester one from Smoke4320? I loaded up a bunch of clear PC boolits with titegroup to test this weekend. I'm hoping it'll work 'cause I got 8lbs of it to burn through.
Maybe try a cast lead friendly powder? Here's a list from precision bullets. http://www.precisionbullets.com/faq.html
Vihtavuori – N-320/N-340
Ramshot – Competition/Zip
Winchester – WST ...

What powder are you using? I had leading issues with hitek coated 10bhn range lead & titegroup, but no leading with WST. This is with NOE 9mm 358-155 TC Elco.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I have the same issue like dansedgli. Where it passes the smash & wipe test, but the coating scrapes off easily. Do you think that is okay?
