    I used a few of these cast by BrassMagnet. I had some issues with the hi-tech coating in 221 Fireball, so I stripped them and powder coated them. My daughter loaded them and shot them in our 221 FB...

    I had green stuff one time, I was melting large amounts of lead pipe and traps. They came from an old lab building and I suspect it may have been a byproduct of copper or chromate based residue. I...
