I would send to Dillion. Should be little to no cost to you.

Had the same issue with NOE sizeing die's. I had to send them back. I use lee dies with zero issue. I tryed to polish the die with no improvement.

Have zero issue with 10bhn in 40 shooting minor and major powerfactor out of a glock 35 stock barrel
Forum: Cast Boolits
Add to this. I ordered the tool from Brownell for $50 a lot cheaper than a new mold and get to use it on any guns in the future.

Have had similar issues. I solved this on my 40 by polishing the lee die. Seems the coating cant handle more than about .002 to .003 in sizing

Loaded a few thousand in my 1050 no issues. All experience is with there small pistol primers
I have 3 of there molds. Had a issue with one they took care of it quickly and at no cost to me. They could use some better venting on top. Had to adjust sprue plate and find a sweet spot. For the...

I have had really bad luck with 9mm with cast. I have since switched everything over to 40 sw. I shoot uspsa production and have zero issues with accuracy of leading since the switch. Have 10k of my...

And where is the leading in the barrel? Just at the end? All the way down etc? I setup a PID controler for my toaster oven and it helps.

How long and how are you drying you bullets?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Thank you. I almost get zero sticking together. Thanks for the info. Love the coating so far have about 10k coated.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
What causes some bullets to stick together? Happen when you stop shaking to soon on coating? Also notice some people us 1mil per pound but 3mils per 1KG that is not equal.

From what i have found i get around 10bhn but it seems to water quench nicely. I hi tek coat all mine now and have zero issues in pistol calibers.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Check out hi tek coating. No need to handle the boolits. They can touch without a issue.
I just orderd a 9mm and 40 from Arsenal molds. Ill see how they work when they get here. Both smooth sided.

I would use tightgroup. Start around 3.2 worked well for myself
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Update. I must have burned out my toaster oven as it failed to reach 200 degree ferinhight. New oven solved issues. Coated 50lbs of boolits today. Now time to shoot some.

Also anyone know what color SNS casting is using ?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Just started Hi-Tek coating with bronze 500. A few questions. Is any color on the wipe test a fail? I get the smallest tint when doing it. I am doing 6ml per 2kg and baking in a convection toaster...

Normal clean ingots sell for around .80 to $1 per pound.
Forum: Casting Equipment
That seems small for what you are doing. I did the same thing as you melting down indoor range scrap. About a thousand pounds a week. I used a 20 gallon pot that was used to melt lino type from a...
I use tightgroup 3.5 grains with a 165 cast or 3.2 with a lee 180 tc. Both make minor power factor and shoot well out of a glock 35.
