For me, fatter PC'd boolits push through a Lee sizer noticeably easier than their skinnier 45/45/10 predecessors.

With the roughly 50-50 percentage of store-bought hardcast bullets versus jacketed in the range scrap I'm smelting, I have not had any problems casting, coating, and shooting pistol rounds with just...

...but if what Xacex says is true, maybe clear powder with quartz in it isn't such a hot idea. :mrgreen:

Titanium dioxide pigments are harder and more abrasive than most...

Thanks for that, Popper. That perspective has me breathing a little easier since I've completely come over to the new world of PC and burned my ships behind me.

This little controversy does beg...

Would Titanium Dioxide be used as a pigment in anything other than a white PC?

Just to make sure I wasn't misunderstood: I'm not saying "scrub" the bore as in "I eroded my barrel". I'm saying "I went 500 rounds without cleaning it and didn't notice any leading or abnormal...

I got the Sears unit for $35 last year and I can tell you the reports of self-destructing are true.

Heck, I really have not even used it all that much and the plastic grip is crumbling and the...

I got myself into this little PC cult by wanting to get cast pills down a stock G17 barrel without leading. Piglet coated HFPC red worked great for me once I finally got the proper sizing and powder...

Good looking boolits, Mike. You guys are really making it hard for me to get off the fence as to what kind of barrel to hang off the front of my AR build.

.300 Blk is tailor-made for casting and...

When are we going to see the "Custom Powdercoated Beer Kegs" thread?

Ah, so sizing down to smooth things out after the fact ain't gonna happen.

Nevertheless, I still wonder if the basics of what's really needed isn't already contained on an off the shelf...

Spitballing: Has anyone ever tried hacking up a slightly larger Lee seating die for use in point-forming? A bullet diameter blind hole in the ram could keep the bullet base centered and the looser...

No, this one - decidedly less, um...precise. Still, it worked.

There's a youtube video floating around out there from a guy who successfully converted a Lee push-thru sizer into a derimming die to convert .22LR brass into raw .224 jackets. He never got to the...

Dang it, guys. Now you have me swaying back to hanging a .223 Wylde barrel off my new AR build instead of a .300 Blk. If you guys can offer any advice one way or the other, i'd certainly appreciate...

Looks like you sold a couple of .300 Blks today, xacex. I'd look into going on commission if I were you.

Now you need to learn me up on hollowpointing my molds. :p

I was afraid you guys were going to say that. :killingpc

Who builds a .300 Blk as their first (and maybe only) AR?

Apparently I do. Just doesn't seem right. :D

xacex,

All things being equal, which caliber out of an AR will be a better solution for powdercoated cast boolits in your opinion- 5.56 or .300 Blk? Assume no need for anything outside of 300...

Beagle, those look just too darn purty to load into a nasty old brass case and shoot into the dirt.

QUESTIONS ABOUT CASTING AND COATING FOR AN AR-15

At long last, I'm finally getting around to building by first AR. I'm going for a lightweight, midlength build and really don't see a heck of a...

Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick aluminum foil seems to be a favorite amongst the electrostatic PC crowd. It's more expensive than regular foil, but you can reuse sheets up to a point.

Waaaay back in the thread, someone mentioned dousing the screen in something flammable and burning the baked-on powdercoat off to rejuvenate your jig.

destrux - The HF red powder has worked just fine for me both for both spraying and Pigletizing. The issue with the red (and many others) is on the Piglet side and finding the right solvent to...
