    He is not a happy camper.
    They will not let him out. Some sort of gut infection being treated with IV Antibiotics.
    No internet so he can't see what I'm writing...hahahahahahahahahaha
    Hooroo.

    The old goat can never catch a break.

    I too hope they go in the correct order, down, then up.

    I'm sure he will be back to read your comments, give you a good whipping with more hi-tek samples to test for him. No matter how much grief you give him, he is always sending you more work to do.

    All jokes a side, i hope he gets better soon, the last time he was there they tried to knock him off the perch, hopefully they have gotten some better nurses to do his IVs now.

    Hospital must be a seasonal thing with Joe wasn't he sick last year as well. I sympathize with him having the camera up the Kyber pass it is hard convincing the Doc to remove the tripod. Regards Stephen

    Waiting to get a camera up the rear and another down the throat.
    Do the throat first so they ain't got a chance to screw up.

    Has Kryptonite Green been renamed Zombie Green? Didn't see any Kryptonite for sale on Donnie's site, but the Zombie green looks really similar

    I talked to Donnie about two weeks ago, and he told me that he was out of Kryptonite Green at this time. The zombie green is a different color than the the kryptonite

    Hi team

    Haven't been on in a while. Anyway, I purchased a mastercaster and got it running sweet. Made a few bullets and coated them in (cant remember which type) gold hitek. They look mint, smash test ok and solvent test ok. Sized to .358. Got my bullet feeder hooked up on the dillon. Ordered some choreboy from usa to scrub out my lightly leaded barrel. Can't wait to load a few up and hit the range for some testing. Covid has made getting range time difficult, but things are easing up in qld. Should be able to try some out in the next few weeks

    Get some!

    Glad you got your paws on a master caster, they do work well.

    I'm off to the local range Tomorrow for a pew or two, first shoot since the shut down, hopefully it will be a good outing!

    What is Joe's status?
    While I work at it, it is by God's grace that it happens. So it is best I ask him what, how and when before I start..

    Rang him yesterday. He is still in Hospital.
    Anti-biotics intravenously. some sort of small bowel infection. They didn't kill it the first time and it flared up again.

    So the old coot is still there for probably another week.
    He was having a huge whinge about how many orders he has to fill when he gets back to work.
    Hooroo.

    Wish Joe a speedy recovery!

    I got my 1st order of Hi-Tek in the new gold today. Followed the mixing, drying and baking directions.
    I may have shook them a bit too long on the 2nd and 3rd coating. A bit bumping surface. But they passed the acetone and smash test.
    Thanks all for this thread. I gotta iron out my process and tune my heat.

    G'day. They should be still wet when you dump them from the swirl bucket onto the tray.
