I probably have more HiTek powders to last a lifetime (for my production rate that is). I had some zombie green, candy apple red, and brown copper in the fridge for several months. The base turned...

Hey Trev, hey candyboolit people! Happy holidays! I don’t post much, but I’m in here from time to time.

I can attest to this; especially, the “mystery” alloy part. I’ve been using muriatic acid...

Greetings, guys! Haven't been on here in a while, nor shooting much since getting stationed in Okinawa.
Has anyone tried any of this coating yet? It does resemble hitek a lot.

Bruh, with clip-on wheel weights...eh... you could be right. But, I was chasing my tail with this once. I had bullets pass the smash and wipe test. BUT...they would fail the smash test a week or...

Indeed

It has been a while for sure. Everything is well, hope all is well in Oz brother.



I have one year of assignment tour remaining, but I’m strongly considering extending two years, the last two...

Hello, fellow boolit casters/coaters!! I haven’t been on the forums in a couple of years as I’ve been stationed in Okinawa since 16. It’s great to see the hi-tek and other coating methods are still...

Try again by mixing and stiring the dry powder. This stuff can settle and components can separate. Probably happens in transient, shipment, bullet company distribution and packaging.

I ordered...

"thin" coating as mentioned was my tail-chasing problem for a little while initially. While thin coats are stressed for good mechanical bond, too thin just isn't enough barrier. Using a wide 3...

Man that's a long bullet. I have their 35-135Z for 9mm. COAL 1.10 3.5- 3.6gr 231 for subsonic/suppressor use.

Hey Popper,
it sounds as if you're after decent accuracy with rifles and cast bullets. While it's not a race horse production-wise, you could try pouring single-cavity bullets while monitoring heat...

163534 Not powder coat. But the red on the bottom is epoxy resin coated, shoved at 1200fps. The other is HT bronze 500 fired at same vel. I tend to use the epoxy methode in guns that have...

Yeah it's a mystery. Thicker coats would need longer evaporation time or it'll flake off.
Further, if it's really saturated, you'll get cratered bubbly coating.

Yeah, wipe off is under-cured coating, no bueno (wipe for 30 whole seconds). Make sure your oven temp is correct. From there adjust as needed. Don't overload your oven, internal circulation is a...

Success!! My 38/357 D funnel experiment worked. I fashioned a hollow spacer to place between the top of the funnel and the powder hopper aperture leaving no clearance for loose funnel play. ...

Well, I use hardball or similar as well. I may be coating too thin... From the OZ practices yeah, I coat too thin��
I am still experimenting with the 38/357 D funnel and getting it to work for 9mm...

Maybe my practices need tweaked and I'm coating too thin... I usually use 1ml per lb. Even less on the first coat; first coat say 3lbs I might put 2mls with a mini splash of solvent to pick up...

Well, scheisse. I'd be your nickel plated man if geography wasn't an issue.

I'm doing an experiment with my Dillon D 38/357 powder funnel and hopper. After loading 300+ 2x coated 9mils, I...

Now now now, Trev... At one time you were saying MEK took longer. I personally can vouch for it taking longer as I have been using MEK almost exclusively. Plus as the coating solution ages...

I'm sure Trev was just poking n kiddn around.

Silver?..... Now there's a challenge. You listening , Joe? Congrats on the blue. Those are powders Yes? I like it. That green is ******. Like a leaf beetle shell green.

Excellent!!

Here is what you wanna do with your jag patching. I use an old white cotton t shirt for all gun cleaning. This way I can make what I need, and I'm cheap lol.
Make an even rectangular, long strip...

You might try what I did with my glock barrel.
