When you see how much damage they do to farms/orchards as well as gardens/landscapes it is easy to view them like feral hogs which are "vermin" to be "controlled" (if not eradicated).

Many resin printers will give that level of results. That is why so many people printing miniatures use them over a FDM filament printer. They are making strides with both the resin (smell, mess,...

Like others I prefer to cast when its cooler (not frigid) outside so I can work with the garage door up and a fan at my back. Wearing a heavy leather apron, boots and gloves gets a might toasty for...
Besides the color when powder coating i believe it helps reduce the lead residue when handling them. I find stacking buckshot to maximize content/volume tends to be a bit more hands on than loading...
Add me to the list that tumbles buckshot in the HF rotary tumbler. Once tumbled to smooth over the sprue cut I clean them with acetone and then powder coat them - just like the "pretty colors" in...

For cast/coated/sized I put them in 1 qt (new) paint cans from HD. For empty brass I use the "Mainstays" brand containers from WallyWorld - they have 2 sizes and I also use the larger size for 12 &...

Got my package of x39 brass Friday... Quickly shipped and well packed, great seller. Now just need to find some time to fire up the Lee pot and get to casting (and not resizing for once)!

You might check for an airsoft laser pointer to give you a cheap/removable way and gerryrig it with a few zip ties :)

Rather than using shot have you considered using wax or hot-glue bullets? I've used the plastic ones in building-clearning training and they hurt like he** being shot with 'em (don't ask!) We used...

I bought a couple of 1/4" aluminum sheets online that will fit in my oven. I found with the heavier sheets loaded with bullets that it is more stable and less likely to tip every bullet over if I...
I have some suspect lead I was given a while ago and might give it a try since I have enough fishing sinkers made to last for my future great-grandkids :)
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
If you use a progressive press with a bullet feeder then traditional cast/lubed are a non-starter (unless you work inside a fridge with very hard/non-tacky lube).

Look at it this way, you may end up with lots of different color powders to "experiment" with and that upgraded oven for baking things :)

I use a 1/4" aluminum sheet which I find gives the loaded tray a good bit more stability and less likely to dump over .30cal or larger. Haven't cast 22 yet but its in the works!

One thing I've found is that heavier baking sheets (I use 1/4" aluminum plate covered in NSAF) makes the transfer into the oven a lot more stable than the lightweight backing trays that come with the...

I have several MiHec & other HP molds I use and one of the things I've noted (especially on the .30 cal) is that powder sometimes "clogs" up the cavity. Same with the HPWC which seems to be the...
