I will try the hairspray suggestion and pick up another type of powder...

I tried adding more powder this weekend, but the results were the same as the 2nd picture above... it seems there is a limit as to how much powder will stick to the boolits. I tried test shooting all...

Thanks guys. It looks like I am not using enough powder then. Im no way near a tbl spoon for 120 boolits. Thankfully powder coating is so easy and fast to do I will do a batch later today and keep...

I tried my luck with powder coating this week. I haven't had a chance to shoot them yet since it is terribly cold outside. I have a few questions in regards to the coverage, or lack thereof. I tried...

Nighthunter, how much thickness does the dry shake method apply? I assume you only apply one coat? When I acquire an oven I will start powder coating my boolits, mainly my 120gr TC Lee. They cast at...

Well the mold casts as it casts, I can't do nothing about that. In my 5 years of casting I've used the same Lee 120gr TC booli sized to .357 in 5 9mm guns without problems. I've used the same .358...

I have ordered a EAA Witness in .40 S&W to use for IPSC Limited Division. I also bought a Lee 6-cav, 175gn TC mold that I will be casting with. Now, I want to get started making boolits for it before...

As I understand it too fast a powder for at light weight lead bullet can cause the bullet to skid over the rifling instead of gripping the rifling. I have used N320 with lead bullets for years...

So you have to get another collator? You can't use the original one?

I use the original one for loading on the 1050, but would love a nose first setup for the Star.

I have read about this Nu-finish on this forum before. But I do not have access to it here in Denmark. Can you tell me more about it? Is it a wax or is it more of a liquid? If I knew more about it I...

I use brake cleaner to clean the case lube off of loaded rounds. I lay the rounds on an old towel, spray some brake cleaner on them and wipe it off with the towel. Do you think this can cause a...

Lyman offers a corn cob treated with rouge (the red stuff). It polishes the brass really nicely and it lasts a lot longer than untreated corn cob, it just so expensive around here. My dad has a block...

What was your number??

I've had mild-moderate lead poisoning for 3 years now. The highest I was ever tested was 60 µg/dL 6 months ago - which is fairly high! I never showed any symptoms. I...

Do you need the heated base in order to install the Magma bullet feeder?! I want the feeder I just have no reason to buy the heated base!

I want the feeder mainly because it get's my finger out of...

I would also like to know if it's still possible to buy this as I am very interested!!

Blammer - that sounds promising. What did the boolits measure :)?

That sounds GREAT!! Send mine also please?! Was mine the one you testet :smile:?

A friend of mine shot a wilderbeest in Africa, 280 yards away.... with iron sights!!!! Something I would never attempt personally! And then with iron sights!?! I asked him if he had lost his mind!...

I found my leading issue with the 9mm to be caused by my Dillon sizing die. After removing a boolit, it measured a surprising .352!! I had noticed the hour-glass shape of the cartridges, but didn't...

I've been waiting for a group buy on a 9mm mold. I would have prefered to have a heavier boolit, but one thing that I cannot pass is the chance of getting a 10 cav mold. I'm an IPSC shooter and go...

My lube consists of beeswax, paraffin and vaseline, a third of each! So I recon that could be where the sweet taste comes from.

I doesn't really taste like lead smell, I does taste metallic...

Thanks for all the replies/thoughts

I had my lead level checked back in January - it was 16! Since then I have taken a few precautions:

- No smoking/drinking/eating while...

No, outdoors. But I shoot IPSC and often shoot strings of 10-15 rounds in about 8 seconds. And afterwards, and for hours later I can taste the lead....

Edit: I think it is the lead I can taste. I...

So, how hazardous is it?! The question may seem silly to some... but I shoot an average of 2000 rounds every week. And as of late, when I come home from a 400 round session I can taste the lead when...

In the past I have used N-110. The reason I didn't like it (you're all gonna laugh now) was because it has flame inhibitors in it, meaning that muzzle flash is severely reduced! And the muzzle flash...
