Do you have a listing of the metallic coatings? And can you give us an idea of how much more heat they reflect?

Ausglock is the pro on this. Follow his advice. And I'm not giving you the following to upstage him. He has years more experience with this coating and commercially produces for match shooters. ...

Satisfied customers sell products. And I have been one for ten years. And I have told many about the product. Ran into a guy the other day at a store that I frequent who shoots Hi Tek...

A few weeks ago I tested my first 300 PRC rounds in cast and coated three times with Hi TeK. Had problems with stabilizing the bullet and accuracy. But there was no lead in the barrel.

I have been looking at a Bergara in 300 PRC for hunting.
I was just trying to get some input from someone that had shot 300 PRC cast. Your experience at some point was better than my first trip...
I'm sorry. I phrased my question wrong. Did you have any luck at all with cast in the 300 PRC as to accuracy? And how many times did you load and range trip with cast?
My first trip to the...
I may be about to join you with some Hornady bullets based on the last range trip.
But what was the most accurate load you shot in it? And how accurate was it?
Now I've got all of these magnum...
I've just started casting coating and loading rounds for my 300 PRC. Was wondering if anyone had experience with this new cartridge? And what they were loading?

300 PRC
I just recently started casting for my Ruger 300 PRC. The 375 is the parent cartridge for this round. Have only been to the range one time with a NOE bullet measured average 228 grain. ...

Once you have been successful with it you got it. It is really a fairly simple process.

Was wondering what calibers you are using it in.

I've been using it for about nine years in my hand guns and rifles. And I will ditto what you said about the lead in the barrel. The .308s have had thousands of loads shot in them at...

You know we men don’t read all the instructions :bigsmyl2::bigsmyl2:
Don’t do what I did at first and try to coat thick. It is not a jacket for your bullet. And thick coats don’t work well. ...

Please excuse double post.

And like I said, I'm booked up for a while. I haven't even loaded any rounds for a few months. But it would be a worthy experiment with measured start and measured results. Maybe someone will read...

OK, test results are back on alloy. And thanks to BN for the help with spectrogram tests.
Pb = 88.7%
Sb = 6.7%
Sn = 4.4%
Cu = 0.2%
Since the copper is supposed to replace the zinc 1 to 1 it...

We have a person on this forum that has access to spectrographic testing equipment. If he is willing of course, I'll ask if he can test a sample of the bullets I made by this method. Maybe...

OK guys. I'm back to civilization and web access.
So Joe I'm having a little trouble being sure of what you said. Does copper get incorporated into the lead alloy?

Sorry Stephen. I've actually been in an area where there is no connection for my computer. So I just now saw your question. But Joe and Trevor did a good job answering it. I actually used the...
