Ok got them feeding better at .940 OAL. Not impressed with this mold at all I might try the 95gr at some point
Forum: Cast Boolits
I got mined sized to 356 and was running my OAL at .960 I thought it was working when I was trying to cycle them in my house but when I went out to the range it wasn’t working for ****. I guess I...

I have a lee 380 2 cavity mold. It drops 100gr round nose bullet. I’m trying to run these bullets in a sig p238 and the dam things will not go into battery for anything. Any help is appreciated....
Forum: Cast Boolits
Sig no offense taken just wasn’t sure if you were aware of what my position was. Anyway I’m loading for my ar15. I would say the bullets are coming out consistently they same length after being...

I’m not using gas checks but I’m starting to have acceptance for this elongated bullet. I think we should start a support group
Forum: Cast Boolits
I never said the bullet was being shaved by the sizing die I’m well aware why it’s elongating I was just wondering if there was any tricks to improve my situation.

Hi everyone here Is my dilemma.
Basically I have some .223 bullets that I have powder coated they are 55gr RCBS mold. I have a somewhat thick coating on the bullet I have developed to help cut...

I don’t know man I was getting quite a bit of leading with plain powder coat in my suppressor. Most people I have read about trying this were having the same issues and most people are running plated...

Well I was able to finally add some copper powder to my powder coat.
It turned out pretty blotchy and to be honest I had a pretty hard time getting the powder coat to stick to the bullet....
Forum: Cast Boolits
Oh I had powder coated bullets going through my can no problem but once I cleaned it a little and started inspecting the blast baffle I could see a decent amount of lead build up after less than 150...

I’ve done some reading over at silencertalk. It seems that guys over there are having the same issues with hi-tek coating in a can as with powdercoating. Plated bullets work but plating your own...
Forum: Cast Boolits
It turns out that powder coated bullets still cause quite a bit of leading in suppressors this seems to be some what well documented around the internet. Does anyone have a solution for this? I’m...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Ya I was thinking the same thing later in the day after I posted this I guess I’m going to try to dick around with plating
Forum: Cast Boolits
What if I added copper powder to my powder coat?
Forum: Cast Boolits
If you powdered coated your bullets after you seated the gas check I highly doubt it would pop off. For that matter you could put a drop of jb weld or super glue inside of the gas check cup if you...

So you think if I was to shoot cast bullets through a suppressor with a gas check on the bottom of the bullet I would still get “splatter” inside of my can?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Ok I’m going to take a crack at this. I have been shooting cast through my .556 recently and I just got done cleaning my can and it was not pretty. Lead acetate is really something no one wants in...
Forum: Gas Checks
What if you pressed the gas check on and then powder coated everything
Forum: Cast Boolits
Well I went out a few weeks ago and shot about 150 rounds through my silencerco omega on my Springfield saint 556. At first I took the ends off and it seems a little more dirty but honestly it didn’t...
Forum: Cast Boolits
so here is my issue. I dont like to bell the case mouth it weakens the brass and its a pain in the butt in my opinion. So what I do is I just hold the bullet up there with my fingers and line it up...

I have tried the hornady 44gr bullets. They don't chamber we'll because the 5.7 is designed to take pointy bullets in the p90 and five seven. If you seat them deep enough they kind of work but it's a...

Ya I guess I just loaded up too many bullets into my bbs

Maybe I should have utfse but here it goes anyway.
So I'm doing tumble coating and it's working fairly well but I have been using this clear powder coat which I really like. The thing is the...
