About time! Now may have to look at getting a bullet feeder.

^^^^^^^ Eric, at http://www.hollowpointmold.com/ I have several and he is great to work with!

I have had great results with PC 9mm and 40 S&W sized to bore diameter. Exactly as gpidaho mentioned above accuracy may suffer but fouling shouldn't be much of an issue with a good PC coat.
Keep us...

I will take the .40 S&W conversion and by my count the last tool head, PM coming

I completely agree with Fredj338, I had to eliminate the antimony for handgun hp bullets. I found 20-1 to be the best option although a little pricey.

Looks Great! I really like the tan color. Is it Smokes powder?

I have found that sizing is not as critical with PC compared to standard lube or Hi-Tek. I have been able to use under sized PC bullets with no leading compared to the others.

I had the same question for a while until i made a mistake on a couple of .357 rounds. After using a kinetic bullet puller there was absolutely no damage to the coating from a pretty heavy roll...

I have used both and now use powder coat. I found the powder coat less temperamental in my loading techniques with no leading. Hi-Tek still requires attention to proper bullet fit just as lubed...

I second this!! What is BLL?

Cabin Tree, worth every penny.

I have had great success with Hi-Tek in revolvers with soft alloy, 20-1 for hollow points, but have never been able to get it to work with this soft alloy in autos. I can get it to work great with...

Well after sitting in the loading room and going over everyone suggestions I may have found the cause of the rings. I was developing a new load with a new bullet, it was a 125gr bullet for revolvers...

Runfiverun, what do you mean, what should I be looking for? I am using mixed head stamp brass for both the 9 and 45.

The 45 is a Colt Commander and the 9mm is a EAA Witness. I only found one ring in the colt when I disassembled it to clean but the 9mm spit a few of them out during firing.

Can you seat one of your boolits so there is some of the shoulder out in front of the case mouth and will this boolit go fully into the chamber?[/QUOTE]

DougGuy, I know the 45 can as the design...

Hi Yodogsandman,
If I were responding to this post I would agree 100%, but I can assure you the bullets were not shave in the loading process. The cases were flared quite well and the seat and crimp...

Tatume, I appreciate your input. I was very meticulous in loading these and with the die setup to ensure the cases were belled enough so the bullets were not swaged down or crimped to tight to swage...

I discovered these lead rings while testing some cast loads, I got them from both the 9mm and 45acp. The 9mm created the most with several landing on my wrist and arm while shooting (the one next to...

the measurements were taken using a micrometer not a caliper. The S&W 40 was a little hard to measure as it has lands and groove absolutely on opposite sides but I was able to get enough contact on...

Scott,
you wont be disappointed. As for your questions I can only speak from my Experience, I have two of them.
1. Yes the PID is worth every penny
2. I don't put anything on top to control...

Surprisingly I have, well except the new 40, I just did it tonight.
The .45 slugs at .4512 and I size the bullets to .4525, should be big enough. The new 40 may be an issue, it slugged at .401 and...

The throats look good, I have had leading in the past with hard cast but it was at the throat, not the muzzle. I am using the 20-1 for proper hollow point expansion. The two guns are a colt commander...

Had a great and not so great day at the range with a new batch of hi-tek black coated bullets. The guns exterior were super clean and greatly reduced smoke compared to my buddies regular lubed...
