I did size these before and after coating and they are dead on .401/.4015 with powder coat with a very very slight variation. This rubs mold drops some of the best I've ever made really, especially...

You can also see where the seating die contacts rather than the flat part, which is not a big deal. May go with this and confirm that it chambers. Using a KKM barrel so the chamber is not as loose as...

Ok thanks for the tips. Makes sense. This is 1.264 OAL and I have not put a crimp on it yet but is right at the top groove.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the reply, I think I looked into this before and arrived at the same conclusion. Not sure why the bullet had to seat pass the top groove in order to hit the 1.25. Going to experiment with...

Fairly new to powder coating but I perfected a process for me. I have loaded and shot some PC 40's about 4 to 5 months ago and I didn't change my seating depth I don't believe. Will check the batch I...

Expander button? I’ll have to look that up unless it’s reference to something I’m already familiar with.

Just getting ready to set up some 223 Lee dies in a Dillon 750. Been loading pistol rounds for years but just now getting into rifle calibers. I’ve been reading about the Redding full length bushing...

Not even sure where some are finding them. I am kicking myself for not paying the in flatbed prices when I seen some at a gun show, because I was used to paying $13 a brick or less. But I didnt...

Ya I think I have the case lube, good catch. Wonder what the diff is...

Yes I knew it was something I didnt want to do every time with a 2nd coat. Just had that first batch attempt with poor results and was trying to salvage them, was kind of looking for results of...

I have some of that on hand, have not picked up the Kroil yet. Interesting.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Interesting. I think I have seen a similar thing before, never really thought about it from that perspective.
Got a good PC on these and ran a few through the sizer, they look great. Looking forward...

Redeemed myself today. Added some plastic pellets in with the shake of light ford blue, and stood a couple hundred or better up on their base, baked at the 400 for 25 min.
Came out great very...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Ok that makes sense, thanks for explaining that to me. Ya I'm familiar with the process and have had items powder coated but never purchased the equipment.
I actually have an account that I just...

Thanks for all the input. Will cast some more tonight or very soon. But honestly unsure about shooing too much with the shortage of the elusive primers currently. Been reading up on the primer...

Thats some wild looking PC, pretty cool.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Goin to be using PC on these, may try them with the recluse lube as well depending on suggestions.
Will have to make up another batch of the 45/45/10 anyway, accidentally pitched a little I had made...

It's an RCBS 200g 10mm round. All of them are dropping at .401 Truncated Cone. Tried to share a pic but kept getting an error message after it tried. Verified the file wasn't too large. I dont know

I did search this and read some discussions, accuracy and leading being the main topic. Just wanted to toss this up for some opinions if any would care to give them. I ordered it a couple...

I just cast some 10mm 200g yesterday evening with an RCBS and didnt have any issues, I think I was consciously waiting a little longer as well it being steel retaining heat better. Will hit the Lee...

Awesome tips from everyone greatly appreciated. I will be casting fairly often maybe a month or two pause after I get a pile built up but I don't want to not prep it right and the pause ends up being...
