CPHP's Work great out to 30 yards, hole in hole, with little to no wind. However, when the distance stretches and winds increase then I reach for 18's and finally 25.4 MRD for better BC and ultimate...

I'm only casting for .30 cal. I spend the majority of my time on the AirGun Nation forum.

Out of curiosity, Are you powder coating your slugs or just shooting bare or lube lead slugs?

You can buy a Yong Heng 4500 psi compressor on eFlay for $240 delivered and an Air Venturi Avenger for $300. Best entry level PCP out there, bar none. Once you shoot a PCP your springers will likely...

AOA suggests using lube if you are shooting above 900 FPS. Lube will make your barrel easier to clean
N and sometimes keep it cleaner longer.

Did you wash them first to remove the mill wax coating?

This will remove any PC or HT deposits!

I’m a competition shooter donating between 15-20K rounds down range per season. I generally shoot 9 major and what I’ve found is that Hi-Tek will form deposits MUCH faster inside comps than PC will....

Take a thermometer to the thrift shop and ask to test the oven before you buy it. Use an actual thermometer and not a heat gun and make sure it will get to 400*F.

The Lee 120 works very well. I also like their 95 grain mold. I seem to shoot more 95’s than any other weight I guess because it makes my lead go further and works very well in all my 9’s. I’ve used...

I too am a FX-FanBoy. I started off with a Streamline .22 with its main purpose of pigeon hunting inside huge dairy barns. It worked great but it was just too nice of a wood stock to hunt with. Sold...

Fred,
Your explanation makes perfect sense to me. Thanks.

That’s what I suspected too. I might cull a few out and compare their off hand accuracy to the others.

I have several 9mm boolits with pencil tip voids in the base. At 50 yds or less would you expect the voids will effect accuracy out of a pistol?

I started out with NSAF then parchment paper, then silicone mats and finally to copper grilling mats, which are by far the best I’ve used. I’ve had paint build up on the silicone mats. They worked...

What a refreshing thread. Thank you OP and thank you Jesus.

I did wash al my boolits with DA to remove the lanolin and towel floss dried. No more lanolin experiments for me.

P Flados, My chambers won’t accept anything larger than .357” bullets. My bores slug at .355”.

The smearing I get just into the leade is not lead nor do I have lead deposits in the bore or in my...

These were loaded with mixed head stamps, all 9mm. Same brass I’ve used for many years, at least until it splits, then discarded. I’m pretty OCD with my reloading techniques and I’ve been reloading...

Good points. I think I will load up a few magazines with 10 rounds and measure OAL before. Then shoot 5 and measure what is left in magazine to see if any bullets are setting back. I can also pull...

I concur Tomme Boy. They were certainly slipperier to the touch. I actually expected that the velocities would have increased too but quite the opposite because all of the velocities were...

Traverse, I did not make any changes to any of my dies other than to adjust the bullet seating depth when changing bullet profiles. I load on a Dillon 650 and have made no changes there or with...

There was a thread recently about lubing coated bullets which is something I had never intentionally done or seen the need to do. I am an avid pistol competitive shooter, going through 15-20K rounds...

Were those powder coated clear or do you still have to coat them?

Popper, are you saying you are pc OVER conventional lubes? Or are you using conventional lubes OVER PC?
