$150 Sounds high to me also. Powder coating has significantly reduced the price of lubesizers across the board. I had to sell my Lyman, the Star, all the dies, and lube tubes at a loss. Did not...

Starline is taking back orders for 32S&W long brass. Backorders do not normally take too long at starline. Might be better than buying brass that is older than the hills and brittle from age. Just...

Paperpatch, jacketed, snot lubed, and powdercoat does not matter other than in the extent of the issue. The barrel is actually smaller for that first shot so you cannot beat the really simple physics...

It's not just you. They do not communicate, PERIOD. Tells me all I need to know about them. Love the one mold of theirs I have. Got that second hand though.

It all depends on how hard you push on the naked gas check designed bullet missing it's gas check. If you are in the realm where a gas check is not required anyway, you are good to go. If you think...
Lee is the king of coming up with good ideas and then executing them poorly and cheaply. They sell junk and you get what you pay for. They have tricked me out of my money for the last time. I have...

You can add me to the I sold my messy grease and wax and went full PC list. After accurately running thousands of bullets from subsonic to over 3K FPS with PC I was very convinced. Took me awhile...

When you see your stock splitting like that it is a good time to add some original thin accraglass into the crack. The thin accraglass will penetrate and be stronger than the original wood. Did...

I have run a bunch of full speed cast 240 grain RNFP from an accurate mold through my 44 Ruger Carbine. The big secret is to use a gas check and to powder coat them bullets. Traditionally lubed...

And all that automotive grease, super oil, and secretive waxes that guys melt in their cauldrons is perfectly safe? :roll: Read through them crazy lube threads, people actually have gotten sick and...

If you are truly seeking "the latest and greatest" you need to go down a few sections to the coating and alternatives section. Slow pistol all the way up to full speed cf rifles and you only need...

I agree with the bull butter as I too have ran some very soft 9-10 BHN scrap in several 9mm hand guns and several carbines. PowderCoat can do it even when pushed hard through the PC9, Hitec fails...

Hardness does not matter as much as it used to. Do not ever see me adding copper to my melt. Thank you powder coat paint, you sure made life much easier.

Sorry if I missed it, but what supplier did you get the Jollypop Red from?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I have several rifles whose bores have not been cleaned in well over 500 powder coated rounds with no accuracy degradation. It might just be gun/size/speed/heat/technique/barrel dependent?

Using smokes bonded chrome first and then using some of the metallics can work sometimes. You still get some pigment voids even though the coating is 100% and may not look like it. Best to just...
