    When I first started using Hi-Tek I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to size them first. What I did was size using a water based lubricant ( Freds personnel lube, warming). Rinsed, 2 coats of Hi-Tec...

    I use an Oster convection oven that I replaced the temp controller with a PID and a thermocouple sensor. Maintains the temp to within 5 degrees and can do 8# of bullets at a time coated with Hi-Tek....
