Sometimes lead will get in the vent lines if the lead is going in too fast. Slow your pour a little. A half turn on the adjustment screw will make a big difference.

I heartily agree with 22cf45, it is unforgiving of poor follow through. Great gun tho!

My experience is the same as recycled bullet. Had to use hard alloy in 9mm with HiTek or got bad leading (and yes they fit the bore and weren't made smaller by seating and crimping). Never had any...

Those look great! If I may ask........whose powder coat powder were you using? Thanks!

You got some really good info here. CharGar has the ultimate solution, and fc60's method works very well if your sprue plate doesn't cut clean.

I've also had great success with powder coated boolits in a Shield EZ 30 SC. No leading and good accuracy. I think you need a slower powder. I've gotten the Saeco 95gr rn and RCBS 90gr cowboy boolit...

Lee 401-175 TC has worked really well for me. MP's 402-165 TC HP mold has been very accurate for me as well.

I've shot ALOT of lead in the 9mm. Everything from CZ75 (tight chamber & barrel) to Beretta 92 (needs .358-.359).
The two things that helped me the most were switching to the NOE case expanders....

BC17A those boolits look great, who's powder coat are you using and what color please?
Don't know what you're shooting them in, but I think it's designed that way for a typical short throat in a 9mm. I bet that will shoot well.
And cut nice clean holes!

I have noticed the same thing as Larry with the 6 cav Lee's. That long sprue plate will bow in the middle.
Opening the notch where it contacts the stop pin seems to help that some. Like the plate...
I have a police trade in Glock 21, it's accuracy surprised me. Lots of 2" groups at 25yds with cast

Have you verified your powder scale with check weights?

Hey Rosewood, I have that Lee t.l. mold. It shoots equally well powder coated or tumble lubed for me. I prefer powder coat though for indoor ranges, way less smoke. I load them flush over 2.7 of...
I have both, a Browning HI Power and a CZ75. The CZ is noticeably more accurate than the Browning at 25yds.

Thanks for all the responses. I'll pick it up.

Tried searching for this, but not having much luck. there's some Goex Cartridge black powder available here and wondering if it will work in a 36 Navy cap and ball?
