Any chance those zeros were from not tripping the "doublecharge safety" on the measure?

Hi all,

Some of my pistols have tight chambers that are not forgiving of a standard boolit mold with pc, especially with a shake and bake method. So I decided to look into some chamber checkers to...

Some very insightful things from the poll. Looks like I'm following what most do, but some things others do more. Nice info to know. TY for making this poll.

interesting feedback, thank you all. I will try closing the mold sideways and with a tap to seat the pins. Many thanks all.

A couple are a yes/no question with the no just below it. Seems redundant.
* I use recomended #5 tub
* I don't use #5 tub

Other thoughts, feel free to reword:
When done I keep them in oven to...

I got my first HP mold, it is an noe but they are coming out like this. I can't see the mold not being fully closed. Is there a trick to these? I'm doing a ladle pressure cast.

No idea if they are the same, but I used the APP one with very good results. Thinking of it there must be some differences , kind of like trade secrets that go into each brand. Still the main thing...

Yes, this is correct. I feel there are 2 main methods of powder coating. ES or electrostatic uses a standard pc spray gun to coat the boolits. The other is the ASBBDT or BBDT. The name means AirSoft...

Nice idea

Here is my personal concern about that. Where are the instructions you mention? I mean I know where to find it, but if I were just starting and came here I'm presented with 12 stickies. Sure a couple...

Just a couple additions,

You must get an oven thermometer. They are about 10 bucks on amazon, and I'm sure at your local stores. Taylor brand tends to get good reviews. Most ovens do not hold the...

odd, I have had great results with his jd green

you would do well with either as long as you can get the temp stable and accurate. Just make sure to get one or two other quality oven thermometers to make sure it hits and holds the right temp.

I did not start the thread at NOE, but I'm hoping there will be enough interest for this to get run. If you are interested here is the link to sign up.
...

did you run a secondary thermometer to verify the temp?

I used one for years. No problems with the gun as long as the cup is not over filled. Less is more with the cup and you seem right on track with the two spoons of powder.

I just got the Eastwood...

We built a sluce box like you see from the gold shoes. Works great for getting rid of dirt, sticks, and clays.

Thank you

I made one smoke. Cheap plastic flashlight, some wire, and two large alligator clips. The rod is just wrapped with electrical tape in three or four points to keep it from touching the barrel. Works...

The smallest I saw on your website was a 500 count. Is that the 'small bag' you mentioned or did I not look in the right spot.

I did a load test today with that boolit, though I reamed out the gas check shanks. Both hi-tek coated and PC. No sign of tumblers through my 16" blackout AR. Used lil gun, h110 and reloader 7....

I have to thank everyone who replied. Some of those gave me a laugh (runfiverun, I can picture my dogs making one of those). Others were ideas I did not think about, and will have to try out.

Thought I get all your methods. Myself I've been pouring some powder into a short+wide glass I got from the dollar store. Easy to remove the old powder residue to not cross contaminate a new powder....

Prompt shipper, great communication. Will not hesitate to deal with Alan again.
