simple Hi-Tek coating

[dansedgli]

I did the first coat on what I thought was the last of my 357 sig bullets 20 minutes ago. I took that bucket away (now that I can lift it) and found 3/4 of another bucket of them.

At least 60kg all up which is about 5000 projectiles. That saves me some time.

It took some work to get the price on that gun that low. It came with a bunch of other stuff that I had to sell off but I've done pretty good out of it I reckon.

[Tazza]

I like deals like that, you spend 1k on a bulk lot, then proceed to sell the un-wanted stuff bring the price down. Sadly i don't see many deals like that often

[dansedgli]

I spend a lot of my day on usedguns. haha

[Tazza]

Nice.

I saw a 1911 in 9mm on there stupidly cheap, but got no answer back. I was so very sad but un surprised as it seemed too good to be true

Petander - your alloy has too much Sb, cut it to ~4% (you are about at superhard - very brittle and hard to cast). That will reduce the Cu. Cu is GOOD. Add some back in to get ~0.3-0.5% and they will do great.

Yep,quite a bit too much monotype in there. Casts easy though. I can cut anti-money down,even though it shoots good,too. 18 BHN, I give it some pressure.

And most importantly: coats so good and easy I never thought possible. TMG Gold is flawless with my niobium-alloy I just coated 5 lbs and missed the timer for the last coat. So I went by feel,baking smell and looks. Perfect.

Ya supposed to leave off the GC on the smash test ones.

I can't because there is no Gas Check. This is a plain base bullet,funny how the coating makes the base look like a GC.

I think that's next year's worth of bullets cooked.

Good work, Dan.
You are going to need all the practice you can get if you are going to beat the Golden Greek from WA... at the Nats.
Hope to catch up with you there and have a yarn.

I'm shooting Open in Pensioner Div.

If you lug those buckets around too much you wont be able to shoot while in traction. Regards Stephen

Now that's very many a lot!

Look ma,no gas check:

I'm ready for grooveless moulds. When I think of what's going on when a bullet starts moving in the beginning, the case neck is expanding to (often oversize) chamber dimensions... I see more of a possible sealing problem with a grooved bullet. Without grooves the bullet is also stronger to take all that pressure from behind.

Just thinking.

Another advantage with grooveless is contact surface with the barrel.

Trevor, hows Joe doing?

Absolutely.

I'm writing to Santa.

Absolutely.

Doesn't he live pretty close to you?

Look at 31-165C for the proper way to do grooveless rifle moulds. 100yds, 2100 fps 145gr PB from 300BO AR carbine. Believe the 'spread' is from gas port base cutting.

****, have fun moving those buckets. When i dump mine into buckets, i work out where i want them to stay and fill them. I'm not going to even attempt to move a bucket with 120kg of lead in it.

[Ausglock]

Trevor, hows Joe doing?

Spoke to him on saturday. Still in confinement. Still whinging. I pity the hospital staff. If I were them, I'd drug him up so he passes out. one way to stop the complaints.

HAHAHAHA

I don't know him very well, but from the chats we have had on the phone, i can see him doing that

As long as he is on the mend, being sick sucks, being REALLY sick is far worse. Hopefully he doesn't whine too much to the nurses, they administer drugs, they know how to use NEEDLES. My mother in-law was a nurse, i have heard stories of what she used to do to unruly patients
