    OK, I'm back from the range. Still have all my fingers and such.

    I learned some things. I learned I can push those PC'd and GC'd boolits to at least 2600 fps and no tumbling and no leading. The...

    Sure! $150.

    We're factoring in development costs, of course. Over time, the sets will come down in price, as we amortize R&D.

    I've been absent a while--new interest in brewing beer, lot of shooting, not much casting.

    I've been trying to perfect a better system for PC'ing boolits--using a variation on Beagle333's nuts...

    They are very accurate, certainly within the limits of my skill level. I'm always amazed at how little fouling there is--one swipe of a boresnake and usually the bore is shiny bright and clean.

    I'm using 5.0 grains of WST behind 200gr boolits in .45, and 5.5 grains of WST behind 180-grain Rainier bullets in .40.

    I also use WST in my 9mm. For me, it's the all-purpose powder. :)

    You may find with sharper edges on the washers that you're more prone to tearing the NSAF when you press it down. Seems like there's never a free lunch.

    I used self-tapping screws to create the pedestals; only problem is there's small rim on the head of the screw which doesn't allow enough friction with the boolit; it tends to slide off easily.
