Just wanted to say thanks for the pm Forrest r . i really appreciate that message.

Also thank the pioneers and all the contributors to this thread and others like it. I am exited about this...

My 225gr molds are due in soon as it has shipped. However i have run into a problem. Load data! I don't have any load data for a 225gr cast bullet. It looks like i will have to work some up while...

Well i pulled the trigger on the 308 Arsenal Mold with the smaller bore rider front portion. http://arsenalmolds.com/products?product_id. I am hoping to have some accuracy results in before too...

I've mixed the Carolina blue with the Black and got a dark purple color. Pretty cool.

Really good price! Leaps and bounds! Leaps and bounds. I Just Acquired a 308 I would love to try this bullet on. Appreciate it guys. This rocks!

How are you getting a copper alloy and what opercent. I know Ive read this before but cant remember where about the copper.

OR what about a Ported gas plug? http://www.garandgear.com/ported-gas-plug.html

Now that I think about it i wonder if heavier bullets can be shot safely from the M1? Has anyone used heavier than 190gr bullets? Jacketed or not?

Well that does tell me something. May be an important bit of information there. If heavier than 180gr bullets can be used then there will be lower velocities and less chance of PC failure. Thanks. I...

Baja Traveler were you able to shorten them up any to keep out of the rifling? I know it can thicken them up and many people don't want to go through the trouble of nose sizing. It's an extra step...

What BHN were they? PC does have some advantages and disadvantages. Coating thickness varies and that effects things.

I'm looking for what powder, bullet, and even load charge you guys are using for your M1 Garand in 30-06. Hoping for Velocities under 2500 FPS. Preferably 23-2400 fps with function so a heavier...

Just to add the recent addition of the 6.5 Creedmoor proved the value of proper twist rates and accuracy at distance. The big difference between the Creedmoor and a 260 Remington. Virtually the same...

If my research is correct the only way a bullet will have worse accuracy at distance is if the bullet becomes unstable in flight. In order for that to happen something would have to be wrong with...

Mayne its me but are the holes in the nozzles real small? Hard to tell with these older eyes.

That's the automated single mold one! I haven't seen that one yet! I saw it before automation. Cool!

FWIW the roughness of a new barrel need to be broken in by some FMJ or plated rounds to get the tiny sharp edges from rifling out of the barrel before shooting PC to not have an issue. I had the same...

Funny you should mention it. I'm in the slow process of building a casting machine too and a bigger bottom pour pot would be awesome. However the only one I have managed to find that will hold enough...

I'm in the process of finding a more heat resistant powder coat. Also hard enough to stand up to the friction. In your opinion what (if any) powder coats or paints (brands/types) such as polyurethane...

I've been doing some research on powder coats to possibly find a better powder. In my last post I referred to a powder type that had a higher AAMA rating. After speaking to several people and a few...

Fast powder or slow powder doesn't matter as long as the load is producing enough pressure to get the bullet to obturate. If the bullet fits the bore well then you don't need as much pressure to...

I've noticed the same. Not sure if the word their term thermoset only applies to less than a few hundred degrees more than the baking temp. Either way misnomer applies in my definition of the term...

There is more than one type of powder coat as we all know. Im under the assumption that the ones we use are thermoset coatings. Thermoplastic would remelt much more easily and reform when cooled.
...

That will definitely do it. That and I'm with the others, start with clean, fresh bullets.

If those bullets you coated in the picture pass a smash test with a hammer load them up and shot them!

Are yo referring to a toaster oven?
