I suppose you could put a PC boolit in a hand drill, then put a jacketed bullet in a vise. Turn on drill and try to grind them together. see which one has its 'coating' wear the fastest. I would...

Thanks for response.
Yes I’ve thought of just using in 45 acp since it’s the only large pp I own with reduced loads but was wondering If ok in very reduced rifle loads.
Thanks again.
I’ve got a few bricks of Large Pistol magnum primers. I was wondering how they would work in the cat sneeze or mouse fart rifle loads? I know they are pistol but loading under a cast 308 168 gr...

So for my H&K 9mm I originally sized to .357 (PC boolits that is) and I would get the occasional non-chamber. Just a little too big. So I sized to .356 and they shoot amazing. With 4gr of...

Thanks all for the comments.
Yeh, I've PC'd some .158 tl boolits and sized to .358 and my smith 686 loves them.

Yes, his 180lbs is definitely doable. I use a lee 20lb pot that I normally put 2 of my 'muffin' tin ingots on the edge to start heating them while I pour. All sprues go back immediately into pot. ...

Yep, 4" PVC for me. Glued a cap on one end, then have a removable 'cap' on other end. About 12" long, put about 4" deep of boolits, pour in 1 heaping tablespoon of powder, close, roll around for 1...

My 38, 357, 45 and 308 (slow plinkers) I use 45-45-10. They all shoot phenomenal. I'm not changing that any time soon.

First - Your measurements are good. It will work fine.
