Do you have pics of recovered powder coated bullets that have been fired through wood, water jugs, ballistic gel ... ?

Is there a preferred way to cool the bullets after baking? Can I just dump the tray directly into a tub of water right out of the oven?

Didn't know there was such a thing. Now I know.

I need to know why Cerakote won't work.

I ordered some powder coating from Prismatic and there was nothing in my Amazon order that mentioned Cerakote. But that's what I got. There were no instructions in the box, just a bag of red powder....

Dead is dead. I have nothing bad to say about the 357 Mag in a lever gun.

Has anyone ever tried loading a .360 round ball in a 38 Spl / 357 Mag?
The ball weighs 70 grains and would get 224 ft-lb energy at 1200 fps.

Does an adapter exist to use Large Rifle Primers in a 209 ? For use in shotguns and inline MLs.

I think about the same thing and even though I know it's not necessary I shoot it every few weeks. I took it out today after loading it 3 weeks ago. It's my bedside gun (along with a 1911). Both...

I've always saved my shotgun shells for use in my coach gun. But now I'm keeping the 209 primers and will try to reuse them.

That's not true. The best way to clean a cap lock long gun is to remove the nipple, put the breech into a bucket of hot, soapy water and pump water in and out of the gun through the drum.
