GPIdaho...Yeah, that would be an attention-getter for sure! I've read the occasional horror story about primer mishaps and tend to prime by hand. Takes longer but I've got enough brass in my...

Poise and coordination...HA!!! Pure luck or divine intervention... You're right about those chairs though. I lived in North Phoenix for about 20 years and went to U of A so very familiar with the...

Amen to that! Reloading doesn't really save me any money; it just lets me shoot more for the same amount of money. Especially compared to the cost if I were to buy my ammo in stores or (gasp!) at...

Sheesh...Got a sobering reminder today that even with 25 years' casting experience it's still possible to make dumb mistakes.

I took about a 3-year break from casting and reloading due to time...

I tried this when I first heard about it a few years ago and didn't have any powdercoat at the house but had some jighead paint. It coated and baked fine, but expensive and the jighead paint seemed...

Carrier, please be sure and post your results, as I'm sure a bunch of us are interested in this. I haven't used my smokepole in several years and it never crossed my mind to PC my muzzleloading...

I've tried Reynolds and Kroger brand (store brand) and haven't seen a difference. If it hangs over the edges of the tray it gets crispy really quick, otherwise no problems with it. Either stand the...

Yes, (the green ones) and they work okay. I've found that I need to experiment with the amount of powder, start with a half teaspoon and try, then raise the amount slightly. You don't need a...

For a good nonstick surface, try parchment paper. You'll find it either in the baking section of the supermarket with the flour, sugar, cake mix, etc or over by the aluminum foil / wax paper. It's...

Ditto to what lightman said...I've ranged from $50 for a 5-gal bucket to a half-full bucket for free. I gave the guy $10 anyway, and it pays to invest a few bucks for some donuts, a couple of pizzas...

The basics have been covered here...I prefer shooting DA because it seems smoother and allows me to keep my grip more consistent. Change something in your shooting sequence or style, and point of...

Yes, with the caveat that you need to give them a quick shake as soon as you take them out of the oven...it's almost impossible to pour them out and not have any touching. I size all my boolits after...

Probably so...I know some indoor ranges don't like "exposed lead", but that argument goes out the door considering what's in primers, what happens to the boolit downrange, etcetera. I've seen a few...

Retread, definitely a great idea for cutting down on any flash...For those without a tap and die set (a lot of screws will cut their own threads anyway if the hole diameter is close enough) you can...

Tried preheating prior to tumbling, and .452 boolits baked out at .465 which was a no-go. Heated them too much...On average without preheating I get between .002 and .005 increase in boolit diameter...

137371Like this, maybe? I tumbled with Mirror Black from PBTP. Stood up to bake, then put a pinch of yellow between gloved hands, rubbed hands together and sprinkled over the boolits, then repeated...

The only 'advantage' I've ever found with using an ESPC gun is that you get a more uniform coating, once you get a feel for it...Dry tumbling works 'right out of the box' so to speak.

There are...

Holy mass-production, Batman!!! How many do you tumble at a time? It actually sounds cool, I can imagine tilting the bucket and running it with a motor, like a cement-mixer-type setup or like they...

That's strange indeed...20 min on the timer should easily be enough, even if temp is slightly below 400...I've never had a problem with leading in pistols with PC boolits but haven't seen it all by...

PBTP usually includes curing instructions with their powders...What bangerjim said, once it's baked it's done, BUT it's also based on boolit temperature, not oven temp, so that 10 minutes should...

Any wife who would encourage you to buy MORE components (or ANYTHING shooting-related) is a keeper for sure! You've done well.

A 'groub' is a 1-holer which forms a line or a narrow oval either horizontally or vertically; it's a mix between 'group' and 'grub', basically a grub-shaped group. :kidding:

The silver ones look very nice! I've hesitated to try metallic finishes but you've found one which works...Who makes it?

Thanks! Forgot to mention they're powdercoated, but I've fired plenty lubed with Alox from the same mold without problems. When i could find Bullseye I'd load them over 5 grains, it would chrono...

Easter Eggs...;) 136107
