I had the same issue way back. Do not mess with your dies yet. Harden up your alloy first. It took some trial and error but I solved the 9mm factory Glock barrel problem. I have run thousands of...

This. I went 5 reloads on some steel .45 acp cases. I pitched them after the 5th because I though I was pushing my luck. Never thought about using steel cases for the occasional "lost brass match".

By my 16 year old...

Hope you enjoy!

Cheese - I consider myself very lucky to live about 8 minutes from what I consider one of the top 5 ranges in the country. We have the Superstition Mountain Mystery 3 gun and the Western States...

Every Tuesday at 1500 is steel. Come on out and check it out. The 4th Sunday of every month is a beginners match called Rob Leatham's Into to Steel. Yes, Rob and his wife Kippi usually run the...

bump w/ new pic and info.

It is a Gen 3 22 frame that I removed the finger grooves and undercut the trigger guard. Then added some texture. Its got a Dawson Ice mag well and Dawson adjustable sights. I refinished the...

It's been a while since I posted but I wanted to give an update on my PCing experiences.

Since ironing out my ESPC process and developing a load, I have fired 2144 of my PCed boolits in various...

I am only about 2500 135 grn 9mm PC boolits deep in competition. I can say this much so far.

In my pistols, G34 w LW bbl, g17 w LW bbl (both Gen 4), G17 (Gen 2) with glock bbl, and franken 9mm...

The color powder is from PBTP. The black is HF. Humidity? Moisture? I know not of what you speak. I think it rained here in Nov or something.

I haven't seen a need to elevate the boolits so...

I have sized to .356 with mixed results. I sized at .358 with feeding / chambering issues. Had to seat to very short OAL. I have settled on .357. Good accuracy, no feeding problems and I don't...

I can not speak to rifle limitations. My PC'ed cast boolits go through various pistols in USPSA production division and steel matches. No noticeable difference in accuracy. In fact this past week...

I use no stick foil and the boolits come right off. Any remaining flashing comes off when sized. My mold is bevel base so I get a little bit of wrap under. I will try to get a pick of some bases...

Got some bigger trays. Did 600 in one cook today. Sorry for the blurry pic.:-?

I had that same issue with that boolit from that mold in a 34 with a LW bbl and a 17 as well. Yes you need to seat it deeper to get it to chamber. I had to go to about where you are now. It can be...

BangerJim has covered that. Pam does not work well with PC.

My ESPC setup. Did 240 today in one cook.

I still got my toaster oven. Doing little batches sucked. I'm using a double rack counter top oven now. Like $60 on sale at the walmart. I will post some pics of my set up next time I coat.

Those look outstanding. Before and after.

Than lubing, or tumbling or tumble lubing.:mrgreen: 1 spray 1 bake, total coverage, even and smooth. Can do 300 at a time in the oven, maybe more. Only slowed down by the number of trays I have to...

Last week I made these. About a thousand.

This is a fat round boolit. I played hell with it trying to get it to chamber in a couple of my pistols. Best advice I could give, is do the "plunk" test dropping a dummy round into the chamber of...

Okay, went out this morning to practice and test some more. These 2 targets were shot consecutively at 18 yards, off hand, from the holster, on the clock, 10 rounds in < 10 second par time. Pistol...

Those targets are about 3 or 4 years old, printed on thick, shiny photo type stock and have been in the garage in AZ heat their whole life. They are dried out and kinda crispy. Then they were shot...
