Thanks Joe, Tazza

Will try diluting the acid and see how it works, it can only be cheaper and safer. We do all the acid washing outside next to a water point and on a level gravel surface far away...

Avenger, the bores of all 3 weapons were clean, a single wipe through with a solvent mop to remove powder residue and they were spotless.
The 'mistake' bullets passed both smash and wipe tests.

Thanks Joe

I also am stumped as I have followed numerous failures here due to incorrect heating, even by much smaller margins of error. I intend however to continue at the correct 200C temp in...

Ok, now here's a connundrum....

I'm a commercial ammunition manufacturer. (I'm also a serial lurker in this thread) Typically we load either J-word of electroplated CMJ bullets that we source from...

Hi Joe

I'm using the green on Magma NLG molds; 147gr 9mmP; 180gr 40; 158gr 38/357 and 95 gr 9mmK. Some of the 147gr Hi-Tek coated bullets look like they are going to France next month for the IDPA...

LOL He should try connectivity out here in the colonies... Darkest Africa is not for the internet savvy!
Good luck Joe, chat soon! Your Green that you sent me is a huge success.

Yup...

The S&Bs are excellent, many hundreds of thousands loaded without noticeable issues ( I'm a commercial loader). If the Muroms are the same as the Wolf/ Tula you are talking about, we tested the SPP...

Amatuers, the lot of you! LOL
I closed a succesful stockbroking/ economics advisory business I had to take over a small ammo manufacturing business. 3 Years down the line I'm still battling for the...

Some eye candy for a Tuesday... Hi Tek coated brass projectiles..181678181679

We are baking up a new batch as I type this. The secret seems to be in getting the swaged bullets properly clean and oil and contaminant free first. We are using a domestic dishwasher on the most...

We manufacture a very accurate brass monlith 5.56 bullet in 55gr. We also are working on using Hi tek on our handgun bullets out here in the third world. Attached pic is some coated (LHS) and...

We remanufacture ammunition commercially and have moved away from stainless pins for exactly this reason. We found some stainless balls- almost like dust, they are really small- that are very...

Thanks for the help! I have a new batch brewing that will get sized to 357 and will try that!
(Awesome Thread BTW, thanks for all the contributions!)

A question for the smart folks here:
After some trial and error I have managed to get the Hi Tek to work as anticipated. In my brand new Beretta 92-A1 they shoot beautifully, but in older (I'm...

Its indeed possible, pictured are some early attempts from this side.
308 brass with the rim and neck turned off, annealled, core seated using a 45 ACP seating die and a lee push thru sizer 45 acp...

thats correct Duke, Kevin is a fantastic guy, and that cannelure machine is a work of art!

Hi Bill

I turned the rim off and lathed the neck off at the shoulder. Annealed the now-straight brass, Seated a 10mm (.40") pure lead core, then formed them in a 308 sizing die to get a shoulder,...

watch this space, no Ellie's yet, but a few buffalo so far....( not by me)

Hi Tom

Brian supplies a universal die to notch them. Look up BT_Sniper here on the forum. I run a commercial ammunition manufacturing concern (mainly high volume items) and I use his dies for my...

I received my new set of 45 from 40 dies from Brian yesterday- already own the 40 from 9mm set and I've been very happy with them. Its hard to express the quality of these sets, if its possible, this...
