I have had some measure of success with the Arsenal 225-61 Elvis mold Hi-Tek coated. My best accuracy is with CFE223 but I'm not getting a complete burn and carbon fouling pretty bad. Need to do...

I was thinking of making a ramp and just bolting it to the pan with the drippers. Then I can take it off and adjust if needed. May lose a bit of heat but shouldn't e too bad.

Loaded up 700 of the recently coated .40 S&W for an IPC match this weekend. Won't need that many but it prefer to be looking at them rather than for them.
