Oops! Sorry.. 4 cavity

I have an NOE mold, 454, 276 grain SWC aluminum mold,,, 4 cavity, that I used in one casting session, come to find out they were too long for my new lever action rifle! Slight surface rust on the...

I buy my powder and BB's from "Smoke4320" here on castboolits, I've never had coating problems AT ALL! I always get 1-3K coating on my booits. I use the bent tweezers from Harbor FT, and pick the...

I started powder coating over a year ago, using "smokes" powder and his BB's (Carolina blue).. done thousands of boolits, never have had a problem- one coat only! My tools: round Rubbermade bowls-...

Good looking bullet! What is the mold MFG-? Style bullet-?

I just posted about my problems with PC bullets getting too large a diameter-- they will not fit the case and the case will not chamber. The only way what you are asking would be possible is with a...

Why powder coat? I'm just a beginner but here is why I do: No more sticky loaded ammo,, no more sticky bullets, no more sticky dies, no more cleaning the gunk off the loaded rounds, No more burned...

You got it!! Sizing is a REAL BEAR - if I only size after powder coating! This was why I was looking for ideas on "lubing" the bullet to make the powder coat bullet pass through the sizing die...

I made up a bunch of 240 grain, 44 mag bullets, sized to .429 then powder coated them and loaded, (8 grains of Unique). Some, because of the variation in coating thickness caught the edges of the...

SO--- I made a bunch of .44 mag 240 grain's, sized the to .429, then powder coated them, then sized them to .431... Shooting them through my T.C. Contender with 2.5X scope, These shot amazing well,...

Thanks Guys for the ideas! I tried the "Hornady Unique" case lube paste, by wiping it on the inside of the die with a Q-tip, about every 5-7 bullet. This helped a lot, then of course I made sure to...

Yes... I may have to size after PC'ing also. I tried wiping the inside of the sizing die with a Q-tip with Hornady case lube paste.. that really helped keep the bullet moving through the size die. ...

Hey Guys,, I am powder coating .45ACP's for my wife's Ruger Vaquero (pink- she loves it) and the problems I have with sizing I will write about here. My bullets drop from the mold at .453 to .454 ...

Yes guys,, I have tried powder coating first,, but the coating is way too thick and with the extra size of the slug.. IT WORKS HARD!! So hard in fact I have had the stirrup under the push-up pin on...

I'm working with .45 ACP.. 230 RN .. as cast .453-.454 sizing down to .452 If I PC before sizing I would be way over size.. my PC adds 2K to 4K to dia of bullet. There is NO old bullet lube in...

Guys I'm having a problem sizing my bullets before powder coating. At first they went through the RCBS sizer well, probably had some old lube residue in the die. After about 30-40 bullets they start...

I found a set of giant tweezers at Harbor Freight... there were 6 in the package, but only the 45 degree bent ones worked the best. The set was $5.95... then I brought up a 20% discount coupon on my...

If you would use the silicone sheets,, you still need a pan to support them!! B-B&B's non stick "Wilton" pans fix the whole issue! The cost alone should be a no-brainer-- $30 for the sheet, or...

I'm sorry if some one else found this first, but after pricing "Silicone Baking Sheets" at "Bed-Bath & Beyond" at $30.00 for one baking sheet-- to place the coated bullets on for baking--- I...

Today at Harbor Freight, I found a tweezer pack of 6 jumbo tweezers for $5.95 made of stainless steel.. I used my smart phone app for H.F. and saved another 20%--- not saying any of them will work...

Thanks Guys, some real good info being shared here! I ran out some test ammo today, running 7.5 grs of Accurate #7 and 115 gr bullet. Not very happy with accuracy as I'm having some crazy fliers- I...

Thanks everyone! No,, I was not tapping the bullet as I held it in my tweezer-thingy,, perhaps I could and shake off a little excess. I have noticed in all these posts, no one has mentioned the...

Sorry Guys, I guess my simple question has turned into a complex argument! Lots of things to consider! While I'm working up my loads,, I would prefer all bullet strikes are in the same "small"...
