@caseyboy I like the look of those bullets, is that a color you mixed up yourself?

When not a necessity, I never shoot jacketed bullets and traditionally lubed or coated bullets in the same secession, just my preference, which isn't a problem as 99% of everything I shoot is cast...

TATV test show that with COWW's this was his end results, he also stated that the results may vary due to the composition of the COWW's used. About 25% of my bullets get air cooled at casting and...

Thats pretty cool, I'm not surprised that would be something you would make.

Those are nice, many look to be in pristine condition. Most of the ones I have seen for sale are in pretty rough shape. I was lucky to get the one I did.

You're not doing anything wrong, it's just how most translucent powders look when used as a bullet coating, they are fully coated, so they're fine to shoot. I tried a couple of translucent powders...

Only done it once, plain old hot boiling water removes the lube, at least in my case with no problems. I just boil the bullets in a pot for about 20 minutes twice and skimmed the lube off the top...
