Aqualube will certainly help your sizing efforts. Are you trying to push two bullets thru your sizing die? Magma makes a relieved die and a short die, both should allow a bullet to pass thru on a...

A note on the use of MEK. Here in the U.S. it's getting harder to find 100% pure MEK. A lot of the box stores are carrying a MEK substitute. In my limited experience with the substitute is that it...

Tazza,
My 2011 is in 9mm and in it's stock form I found it to feel very clunky while shooting it. I prefer a lighter pistol as it swings faster and stops faster on target, What goes back, must go...

I disliked the long dust cover and bull bbl on mine. Trimmed the dust cover, lightened the slide with a BHP cut, tri-topped the slide and lightened it internally. Replaced the bull barrel with a...

TonyN,
Just like the small ovens, it depends on the particular ovens ability to bring the bullet load to temp and it's ability to maintain the temp.
Reliable, repeatable temp control is key...

6bg6ga,
No heat here......I think you may be confusing Hi-Tek Supercoat and industrial powder coating.
Hi-Tek Powder has the catalyst (hardner) built in. Powder must be liquefied with a solvent...

Here is another target from a gent in Kansas

This is the target Avenger442 sent me. Looks like some nice shooting and a very promising load!

Over tumbling will lead to rough looking bullets. 15-20 seconds is all you need, especially in hot weather.

Adam,
Nice job. That bullet should shoot quite well in .38 also.

It will be about 6-8 weeks before that Dark Green Pearlescent arrives here.

For those that may be trying to contact Joe Ban directly, he is having a lot of trouble with accessing the internet. He is in the process of changing service providers and hopefully will be back...

Those were dropped from a Magma Engineering Mould. 115 gr rn

2-2.5 lbs is ok, I wouldn't go much smaller. I am sure it can be done, but I have found that having too few bullets in the container during tumbling makes getting even coatings more difficult.

Unless it is flaking off in big pieces i wouldn't worry about it. I would go ahead and shoot them some flaking shouldn't matter espically at wadcutter velocities.
Your probably too thick with that...

I used a syringe to verify that the measuring spoon I used was indeed 5 ML. I find it easier to use the spoon/dipper in lieu of a syringe, but that's just me.
The powder should be weighed out as...

Ok, try again. I think I fixed it.

This is the Burnt Orange

I only a small sample size of the dark green on hand not enough to list for sale. If you guys are interested in some I have an order pending with Joe and I can see about adding a carton or two to the...

Ok, I need help posting pics to this website. What s the best photo host and can someone please point me in the right direction?

It is Black 1035 on my website

Tony,
Have you tried any alloy harder than the stuff you are currently using?

Happy to make the donation.
I wish you guys much success in the competition.

Brick Red is the brightest Red I have in stock. It is what Acme Bullets and SNS Casting use.
