About 2 years ago "PARA" over at Sigforum advised everyone to stock up while things were quite. I am so glad I listened to his wisdom.

Listening to my wife complain about how much money I’m saving by reloading

Cracked one of my ziplocks one night and found wife had a stash of "Olive Garden " to go soup containers. What the heck,I tried it and I liked it. Great fitting snap on lid ,rounded bottom , did I...

T-mcd, I try to time my sessions so I have the time to size about an hour after they come out of the oven. They just seem to size easier to me. Sorry I miss read your question, I've waited...

I took Chainsaw's recommendation and tried the silicone mat, and it stopped boolits from sticking !! Still have a concern with coating puddling at the base when I pull it off the mat. Sizing does...

Chainsaw, I stopped by Wallyworld on the way home tonight and picked up a silicone baking mat. Will give it a try later tonight,

Hi RP , yes non stick side was up, I've used this sheet a couple of times. Weird that the copper ones fell right off.

Just got my clear powder coat from Smoke today. Coated 10 clear and 10 copper and baked. When I went to remove from non stick aluminum foil the copper ones fell right off but the clear ones bases...

Thank you gentlemen. I’m in uncharted territory for me. My learning curve has been accelerated by the knowledge you share. Thanks, Derrell

I was given 50 lbs of 60/40 sticks of bar solder having only used wheel weights to this point, what would I need to do to make this work for 9mm and 40 caliber loads ? Thanks, Derrell

Living in Tampa also, I cast as needed . Have two large fans that keeps the air moving,and "skeeters " away. But now I have 12- 5 gallon buckets of wheel weights that need melted down and cleaned. ...

Dave, you have come to the right place for help. These guys are great. I lurked here for over a year before I made my first buy of any equipment. I don't post often as I'm still learning myself. ...

WOW, thanks for the input. I guess I should have mentioned that my question was for 9mm and 45 ACP . Main reason for working up constant loads is that I'm getting ready to take the Florida "G"...

Has there been any studies done on boolit accuracy between flat point and round nose boolits ? Only reason I ask is now after being a reloader for several years, I would like to learn to hand load...

When the ammo shortage during the Obozzo era kept me from shooting. As the market eased up bought a press,powder,primers as I could afford them

Gohon, When I got home this afternoon,thought I would try to coat some boolits. Being in central Florida we are in the middle of a tropical storm. My shop is not equipped with a/c or heat.

Thanks, I 've gotten to the point where I trust smoke's powders and my methods and like Fred I will test a reject when I inspect boolits after coating.

Quick question, do you smash test a coated boolit from every batch ?

So far I have and just wondering if it is necessary,or am I being over cautious.

Anyone have experience in PC using "normal" drive band boolits or the tumble lube bands?

Any preference or performance difference between the two ?

I would like to thank those that replied with HELPFUL information,

[QUOTE=John Boy;3870245] Where didn't you look that everybody else did and found the mold in stock and had to post where to buy it? ...

Want to start casting 40 caliber boolits. Seems every "normal" source is out of stock. The mold I want is Lee # 90690 6 cavity 401-175 TC. These will be powder coated so my question is would the Lee...

I ordered a sample pack a couple of weeks ago from Smoke,and could not believe the difference . uses less powder and smooth as glass coating. No more HF for me.

SierraHunter I too am blessed. Been married to my wife for 43 years. She just shook her head when she saw the mess and laughed .

When moving a tupperware bowl full of black BB's,boolits,and powder coat from one side of the bench to the other with out the lid on, DO NOT bump into handle of your press.

Oh my,what a mess. Am...
