I use an electrostatic spray gun and I only need one coat. I have never tried clear. It maybe different. I have used the eastwood ford light blue. I spray once from the front, and then rotate the...

230 volts drawing 1 amp is roughly 230W. One HP is 746 watts so 230/746 is 0.3HP. It is somewhere between 1/4 horse to a 1/3 horse. Good luck with getting 3 phase unless you are in an industrial...

Be sure the sinker is pure lead and not zinc! I have seen zinc fishing weights. Try biting into it with side cutters.

I certainly am not an expert but I shoot 9mm cast thru a TI-RANT can. The bullets are PC'd. I would be concerned if the PC was coming off. The can does disassemble and I have cleaned it numerous...

We probably need to know what PID you are using. Normally the Set Value (target temp for alloy) is entered first. The pot should stay within a few degrees of the set value. Some PID's will keep...

You might try patches with Acetone or Ed's Red solvent. I get crud like that when the Boolits are not baked enough. One or the other softens the crud.

The polygonal rifling can work well with cast boolits. But the devil is in measuring the slug and deciding what the fit is. I have three H&Ks and all shoot cast well. But it was a difficult time...

I use a Ti-Rant in 9mm. I have shot mostly PC'd cast thru it. It does get dirty but it is easily cleanable. I have used a brass brush and Ed's Red for cleaning. My sub loads are really quiet. ...

I have two H&K poly barreled pistols. A 40 and a 9mm. I had some problems with leading but found a slightly larger boolit was the key to success in both guns. I switched to powder coated because...

The other thing to watch is that you fill the chamber too full. i.e. you get the cerrosafe into a locking lug depression or the like. The heat guns used for shrinking tubing will work for getting...

Remember please that when it is very hot, it won't be as strong.

Looks like what I got when I added stuff to remove zinc. I think is was sulfur based. It didn't bubble up so much but looked like it. I was outside and good thing because the sulfur really stunk!

If its a "polygonal rifling" barrel, you can get keyholing if the boolit is too small or too hard. The boolit must obturate and fill the barrel rifling. Too low a pressure might do the same with...

That main gun doesn't leave much of the deer to eat! I have chased deer on a range with the 0.50 spotting rifle. Pretty hard to hit one unless it stays still long enough. The booms did not really...

Don't be tempted to buy a cheap scope for a pistol with significant recoil. I have not killed any Leupold pistol scopes. But I have killed Simmons and Burris scopes. These were mounted on 44 Mag,...

I have never sized boolits without lube grooves. The lead alloy is displaced during sizing and if you had lube grooves you shouldn't have the fins on the bottom.

I have tried measuring case capacity in 9mm and there is considerable variation in various brands of brass. That variation is one of the reasons one should always start near the minimum powder...

Still no suggestions as to what the crud is?? I have had once sometime ago and after I drained and cleaned the pot I have not seen it again. Just love to know what the crud is!

You need to be very careful about when you remove the cerrosafe cast and when you measure it. There is a correction to be applied to the measurement which varies with time. You remove the cast very...

I run an H&K P90L in 9mm and one in 40S&W. I couldn't get a good reading on a slug so I started small and worked up. The 9 prefers 358 boolits. I have no problem with a PCed boolit sized to 358. ...

PM to tankgunner59 on way.

2400 and Unique are available in Central Texas. LGS has some but not everyday. Cabelas has nearly everything. I was so surprised the other day. They have a lot of most components. Unlike a month...

Their rifling is just like the H&K or Glock pistols. They are fussy about the fit with cast but shoot well. Glock claims that cast isn't compatible with their "polygonal" rifling, but many on here...

I did find some documentation drawings on Al's site. I wish he listed them all and showed the dimensioned drawings there. If I can find my electronic copy, I'll try to get them posted here.

I have an M&P shield in 9mm and don't have any trouble reloading for it. I espc powder coat and size at 0.359. You need to be careful with the boolit having any build up of PC on the nose. I had a...
