Well, got my first Indian creek choke as a laugh for a handgun range that allows birdshot at their pistol steel gallery and it's the best patterning choke ive used and very noticeably reduces recoil....

Was kind of curious, loved my .665 indian creek shotgun choke so much i got a .720 waterfowl choke as a do it all ported IC choke or if going by constriction (.724 bore, .720 choke) more of a skeet...

I’ve never had to use small base dies even resizing machine gun brass, however this is not to say others haven’t had these problems.

I think it boils down to where you get your brass from. Are...

Thank you to everyone for the information! That chart is fantastic conditor, something I've always been curious about. I used to dump the boolits in ice water after PC but found I had a lot more...

Hey all! Been a while since I last posted but in the meantime I moved to the great state of Texas! :mrgreen:

Something I've not had to deal with before is the extreme water hardness & humidity!
...

With many thousands of rounds, idk I lost count around like 15-20k I think I’ve had like three buckled necks. Don’t know if it happened due to mixing up batches or brass growing. No malfunctions,...

My understanding is that gas checks serve to prevent the high pressure of the expanding gas pressure from deforming the base of the bullet during acceleration, and when pressure escapes around the...

Best thing I do is heat up the mold to casting temp on a hot plate.
Rub with the edge of a cold ingot and it will come off.

Everything has positives and negatives. I have to clean my guns more often after going PC. With lubed they actually lubed my guns like my Glock 19 which i shot 3500+ rounds without issue. Pc has...

I hope this is useful to someone out there. I stored three blue EW pc bullets and three HF red bullets in enough titegroup to cover it all in a medicine bottle. The Eastwood has been exposed for 2...

igolfat8, you were 100% right, I left my PC'd Eastwood Ford light blue bullets in some TG, and by day 2 theyre looking matte and feeling sort of tacky compared to the glossy hard shell.

I'm sort...

very interesting, I vaguely remember something about this long before I started PC. I'm going to leave some coated boolits in TG and see how long it takes to break down.

However, I have a strong...

Do you mean OAL or how long I let the alloy or the PC itself cure?
I let the PC/alloy sit for about 2 weeks before loading up, and once I load it's a crapshoot between a few days or a few months...

Interesting, I use Eastwood powder.
Have you changed powders in that time?
I’m not using the ideal powder for activating the comp (titegroup) but I have a lot of it and it does work the comp. I...

Really liking PC for ease of use and production, but on my pistol comp have noticed some lead building up, and don't want to keep making and disposing of "the dip".

A few Q:

Have you...

I ice water quench my 50/50 pure/coww + splash of tin for my pistol boolits.

I’m not a bench rest shooter, and I don’t caliper measure my groups.

I shoot for practical accuracy, and I’ve never...

I had pretty good results with the MP 75gr bullets sized and gas checked at 225 with carnauba red for lube. Worked fine, no leading and decent accuracy, though I did not do any strict accuracy tests,...

Consensus on power coating vs traditional lube for 223?

Not a fan of casting in winter, my molds become more temperamental and have had the spout freeze up on my lee4-20 several times indoors if I don’t use it and drop in a prewarmed ingot.

Still get...

The brass definitely makes a difference, and the expander is important but will not yield the same results as WC brass. If you expand non-Wc brass to hbwc depths, and seat you may find that a certain...

I will cast more in the coming week or two, and see if the HF red is more sensitive than the Eastwood ford light blue to attack by the powder.
I’ve also noticed that TG likes to attack powder...

Thanks for the reply! Just got back to say I tried straight acetone with little to no effect.
My next step is probably going to be fire some jacketed rounds, and finish up the rest of this batch of...

Hi Everyone.

New to powdercoating, so I'll do my best to describe the issue I'm having.

It's not residue, or fouling. After running a dry patch through the bore, it's mirror shiny. However,...

I think this, it's how I've read it too,
well-en

On the discussion of rust preventative measures it depends on what you use it for, how long you're expecting to store the item, and conditions of storage.

Not a huge fan of alox anything,...
