It would be rather strange for his lead to be too hard since PC anneals the lead. Unless he is using some straight Ultrahard from Rotometals or something.

Couldn't you just use the carrier for the .33 for both?

And what about the extractor?

I'm not familiar with the 45-70 and the 1895, but I'm very familiar with the work of those on Marlin Owners...

Why would you need to change the carrier?

Even with extensive modification to the action, the 445 Supermag is still too long to feed through a Marlin 1894. If you could get a rare 336 chambered in .44 it would work. Not sure about other...

Looks like the same stuff he said he used when I quoted him in my post above

There are enough success stories of doing just what you are trying to do that I wouldn't shy away from it. Although I'm not sure what the difference is between Hi-Tek and PC.

Awesome post. Thanks.

What is the exact message that you are getting?
And did you try my multiple post option?

I just did some testing and easily posted 2 pictures at over 4MBs total (although it seems the forum sized...

Are you trying to copy and paste straight from a word document?


And yes, you can include the pics in with the text. Each post has a certain limit. That's the point of breaking it into seperate...

Make a thread

Immediately post the first couple of replies. This is called "reserving"

Break up your tutorial and post it in chunks that are acceptable in the first few posts by editing them.

Haha, did you dump the whole pound of powder in the tub? :P

I dunno about DT w/o BBs, but w/ BBs you only need around a tablespoon (or less probably) for that many bullets.

I'm very new to casting and powdercoating. As in, this is my first decent batch of bullets, so your mileage may vary. I need to get a bullet sizer, but I need to slug my throats first to see what I...

Is the Lee C309 170 grn. supposed to engrave into the rifling? I haven't had a chance to slug my throat, although it seems that I don't really have one and the rifling simply starts abruptly.

Rail Gun...

Definitely a Rail Gun...

Sadly, where I'm at right now .338 Marlin is easier to find than .444 :(

My first try. Coating isn't 100%. Not sure why certain spots on the bullets didn't want the powder to stick.

While the .444 is an awesome caliber it seems like an odd choice for silhouette considering the brass is so expensive and hard to find and it is going to kick harder and use more powder and lead than...

Wide and shallow sounds more like a cup point, which has different effects than hollow points on terminal performance based on Flat Top and Mt. Sourdough's tests, although what you consider deep and...

So, I bought some HF Matte Black not realizing it wouldn't work for shake and bake. I'm ordering some Super Durable Wet Black from allpowderpaints as this seems to have worked well for others using...

Bah, I even had the red in my hands but didn't like the lipstick look so I put it back. Oh well. Lesson learned, stick to the tried and true.

Just to make sure. HF Red works for shake n bake, but HF Matte Black won't?

Cause I bought the Matte Black thinking there wouldn't be a difference but it isn't working out too well.

Yeah, the last 4 I poured popped out fine. The rest had been sitting in there a while since I was slow to pour and was figuring out my system. I've got a better system now and will only pour half the...

Right now I'm going with ladle as its cheaper and money is tight as I'm looking for a job post graduation atm. Plus, I like learning the hard way first.

I did try casting some boolits earlier...

Update on round 2 in the OP.
