simple Hi-Tek coating

[Tazza]

You shouldn't size before applying the Hi-Tek coating. Apply at least one coat and then size. Using the Aqualube will definitely make the sizing easier. I put mine in a plastic bag and spritz some on and roll them around and let dry about 5 minutes before sizing.

I did a few just as a test to ensure they weren't dropping too big, i normally never size before as i always thought straight lead through a sizing die could lead to leading it up.

I think some aqualube may be given a go, i remember getting a box of projectiles years ago that were slick as, it's possible that they were coated in it from that manufacturer. Been so long, i have no clue who it was.

If you purchase some, dilute it. It goes a LONG way

yep... link to wrong stuff.

The sizing lube is Aqualube.
The mold release is some other weird Joe stupid number stuff..

Joe....FFS.... sort out the naming of your products...

Sorry Ausglock, I must clarify
Sizing Lube comes as a liquid concentrate, and is called Aqualube 3000 and there is Aqualube 5000. The difference is particle size of colloidal suspension.
They both work interchangeably. Both need very large dilutions of the concentrate before use, and usually about 5-10 mls concentrate to 1 litre denatured Alcohol. The dilute mixture is tumble coated and dried before sizing.

The Mold Release is HI-TEK-LUBE 500+. This is available as an aerosol, or as a 100% powdered version.
This is used on all surfaces to provide unequalled metal release and lubrication up to 800C.
Obviously, the aerosol is sprayed onto surfaces. The powder is applied very very sparingly, with a small bristle brush, 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch,(not plastic or synthetic bristles) to all surfaces hot or cold, to stop Lead sticking or hold up inside the Mold.
On Sprue cutters, it is applied from a mix, of about 1 teaspoon of the powdered version, pre-mixed into denatured alcohol, using an eye dropper type system, and applied Sprue cutter pivot joint until pivot post area is filled. This stuff dry lubricates the pivot joint of Sprue cutter without migrating contamination and has best property of preventing Lead spatter adhesion.
Reports by commercial casters is, that the "tappers " on casting machines become mostly redundant as cast alloy falls out of Molds upon opening.
Further old Moulds with pitting, and which hold up cast alloy, can be coated to loosely brush fill pitted area, and all internal surfaces, and cast produced simply fall out.
I hope that this clear this name and use matters

Can I purchase the mold release in Perth or have it shipped to Perth?.

No reason why Joe can't ship the powder over there, i know you guys have some horrible regulations of moving gun powder or loaded ammo over the border. I'm in Brisbane and got some off him with my last order, but we don't have the same BS regulations you guys do.

No lube groove will make them drop a lot easier, they look good though.

Some people had issues with my 125 conicals that had a lube groove, they had issues stabilizing due to not as much bearing surface, no lube groove generally fixes that. I think that's why Ausglock does a lot of his without lube grooves.

I have some western action boys that need the grooves to crimp into, so those moulds are perfect for them.

[Ausglock]

We still use the 125gn Conical with lube groove.
It is the most popular bullet for Open Div Major power factor.
Closely followed by the 127gn SWC

[Tazza]

I too have found 125 conical is the most popular around me too, it's what i always used in my open gun.

[hunter74]

125 TC from Magma moulds are the most popular boolits around here too. Traditional lube groove. The IPSIC guys go through them fast both in open and production guns. Many shoot them at 1400 fts in their open guns and they're very pleased with the coating. Both comp and bores are spotless.
