El Greco: What guy? If you mean in the video I posted it is I in the video. I bake at 180 degrees celcius in the vid.

Interesting thought, but I don't think so. In the video I spray a couple of bullets and add them to non-sprayed. I have since moved to spraying all bullets, it saves time and gets better results. My...

Rancher, I've never received any money from Youtube. I do have the occasional sponsor for match equipment, but those videos are very clear about that intent and the key there is credibility and...

It makes any powder stick to the bullet without static or long tumbling with or without BBs. You just add the powder, shake a few seconds and you're done. I always do 20lb bullets on one tray (thats...

I use the silicone dry tumbling method (in short, spray the bullets with silicone spray, add a teaspoon of powder and shake, then pour on a mesh and bake)....

Forrest r, thank you for your extensive testing, that was just the kind of response I was hoping for.
I notice a clear increase in accuracy on my 2150 fps .308 Winchester load when using PC+lube...

Just a word of caution… Has ANYONE had success with this design?
I own a Lee 2-cav version of this and nothing so far has yielded acceptable results. I have two guns that shoot sub 1" groups at 25y...

Dan Lynch posted some very interesting shootouts some time ago where he fired .357 Mag with 180 grain bullets using lube, powder coating and both at the same time. In short, his conclusion was that...

In this old thread we had a dozen interested in a .40 caliber hollowpoint semiwadcutter. It landed on the Lyman 401654 with inquiry to Mihec for HP option, then the buy ran out into the archives....
I seem to have a newer SRH .454 since it does not have the dark grey tone, it is a polished stainless just like the .44 Mags.
The throats on mine are .455-.456. I have to use .458-bullets sized to...
Allright, so here's an update on what is new.
I have tested about 20 different loads with different powders and OAL combinations. Nothing has given groups tighter than 5" at 50 yards.
So I cut a...

Success! Sizing the bullets base first gave the same groups as the filed bases.
However, it required tremendous force to size and the noses get bent and deformed. This makes the seater die unable to...

I gently filed five bullets so the bases had no extruded PC around the edges. No more keyholes. No more fliers. The group of 3" at 50 yards is not great, actually it is pretty lousy by rifle...

Below is test firing of 16.0 gn Norma 203B for groups. Feeding in semiauto was superb, everything ran smooth.
Same tendencies as 13.0 gn Norma 200; first three shots are OK, then the last two...

Some new numbers!
I increased the load above with 0.5 gn to this:
2.236" / 56.8 mm cartridge length
13.5gn Norma 200
1740 fps (176 Power Factor)
61% fill rate
98% burn rate
23500 PSI...

Today I shot the load in the previous post, 13.0gn Norma 200.
This was at 50 yards with my JP AR15, rifle gas length on 18" barrel with 1:8" twist.
Holes are cut clean, no tendencies for...

Bullets sized .2246". Slight extrusion of the base (can be seen on the picture), will have a friend turn a new push through plug that is slightly larger.
I bought the NOE .225...

Yes, such bullet weight would have a hard time to stabilize. What Im thinking here though is what would happen if you make a say 320gn .44 bullet with a chamber cast type of design, filling the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
My question for starting this thread is primarily related to designing a bullet that use the throat portion of the chamber for as much weight as possible outside the case for support and accuracy,...

Got mine later yesterday and today it was a thrill to start using it!
I did however have to deburr the venting lines where they meet the cavities. Not a big deal, but a little unexpected on a $120...

The above design seem to be very common for the all in crazy hand cannon loads in .500 S&W where maximum weight and penetration is desired.
But the more I see them the more I think...

If the new 8-cavity aluminum is an available option for this buy I'd like to go with that instead.
