Yea, HF red with their cheap gun. Was thinking of getting a nicer system perhaps, the spraying seems to vary in density at times and the charge to the bullets doesn't seem to be satisfactorily...

Its the recent mihec 147gr pb HP group by mold. Which other style sizers are you referring to?

So I have resized close to 900 of these and have run into a problem where about 45 of these have had a small bit of scrapping at the base which is ~5%:

The most egregious offenders being...

Cast from the recently shipped MP 147HP PB mould that was a group buy. Powder coating with the cheap Harbor Freight ESPC gun and Harbor Freight Red, 75 at a time, baked in a cheap PID regulated...

Was breaking in the new Mihec 147gr 9mm mould I got. I ran the mold a bit fast trying to keep pace with the hollowpoint pins needing to be hot and at some point in time must have cut a sprue that was...

This is what I was thinking as well... If you didn't do some type of work up for the PC cartridges I don't think you can say you did them justice.

It was a bunch of frustration for me. Maybe I'll give it another shot when the weather cools down here and I have more time because people do seem to really love it in that thread... But when...

9mm barrels are a PITA to delead. To get my m&p9L barrel clean took countless passes and over an hour to finally get clean....

Was running bore brushes, patch jigs covered with a patch with...

What's with these silicone sheets people are talking about? Won't laying the bullets flat on them leave flashing at the base that come off with them?

Anyone have any suggestions for a makeshift mould guide for these pots? Long casting sessions with large brass molds gets tiring fast and the small one provided doesn't play nice with the Hp pins.

Link for these?

Love the ingenuity here.

It smells great though :D

If you try it and end up liking it you can't beat MiHec or NOE. Both wonderful mould companies that throw great bullets. I got tired of having to troubleshoot the Lee aluminum molds.

Both my 10# and 20# lee pots drip. At least with the 20# i can wiggle the turn screw

PID will make your life easier I highly recommend.

Hmm, might have to look into getting one made myself...

Having leading issues as well in my m&p9L and this is with Hi-Tek coated bayou bullets- I pulled a couple of loaded ones and there was no over crimping into the lead so I am not sure what the deal...

PID is the way to go in my opinion. I've had 3 cheap toaster ovens and none were close to the dials.

So for the liquid hi-tek 2 what's the suggested ratios?

So from what I'm gathering a super light coating is the secret to passing the smash test with no flaking?

The bases are well defined, I threw out any with malformed bases and hollow point cavities

The ones on the right have bulbous deformed hollow point cavities that are inconsistent which I can only assume would lead to destabilization of the bullet after traveling a certain distance.

So I think I've nearly mastered this new MiHec mould I recently got my hands on and every once in awhile I get bullets that pop out like the ones on the right with malformed HP cavities. I'd say I...
