    Thanks Trevor,

    The Kryptonite Green is the better looking one to me, so Kryptonite Green will remain
    as a LIQUID TWO PART MIX and the Zombie Green will be a DRY Powder Mix?

    Made new batch of Zombie Green powder, destined for US, and will be tested first.
    New photos will be published when it is done.
    The other photo was an experimental first batch, to see how it turns out.
    I am hoping that with tweaking of recipe, it may turn out much better.
    I am hoping that what is made now, will look better that version 1 test sample.
    Photos will be posted on new batch.

    You better hurry up there Joe! My orders are backing up! Lol

    Did I read that Ausglock used his powder samples for weed killer? I gave mine to my kids to mix with water and color the snowmen they made all winter!

    Uh oh, there goes the lawn.....
    You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.

    gunoil,

    I'm trying to get the MOLD HANDLE DIMENSIONS from the 4 cavity Hardline Industry molds
    so Red River Rick (KAL Tool & Die) can tell me if his replacement RCBS handles (his "R" handles) will work.

    Rick says his are not as long (reach) as the OLDER RCBS handles and he wants to make sure they'll
    fit these before shipping them to the USA.

    gunoil,

    I've got time, I'm not ready to start casting yet this year.

    I also have Boolits already coated with HI-TEK Gold and Green coatings, also NEW from SNS Casting

    NO LUBE GROOVE 9 MM 125 grain RN and 45 cal 230 Grain RN in stock already.

    Plenty of time to get ready and to learn.

    Liberty's Son,

    The Lube Groove Green that's duller is the ZOMBIE GREEN.

    The Brighter Green NO GROOVE is the Kryptonite Green.

    No. The no lube grooved is the Kryptonite Green

    The sickly looking one with lube groove, is Zombie Green.
    Tests done showed that it was a great coating, as apparently someone used samples of coated ones in a competition here, and won.
    I dont know all details but reports back was that they were satisfied.
    That is all that counts, that user is satisfied.
    I am happy also.

    As I said. The photos are not real good. I took them with the Phone camera.
    The Zombie Green is lighter than the photo shows.
    The photo was of my "Zombie Green" mixing. Not Hi-tek's.
    As Joe said. His "factory mixed" ZG is far better looking than my "Custom mixed" ZG.
    I mix colours to see what happens, and ZG is one of them.

    When Joe sends the new ZG, I will test coat and take some good photos with the Pentax DSLR with better lighting.

    ZG is more like the Hornady Projectiles Zombie Bullets boxes you see in the gunshops.
    Google "Hornady Zombie" and have a look at the colour.
    The Kryptonite Green is mine in OZ only.
    Hooroo.
    Regards, Trevor.

    Perhaps it's because Ausglock was mixing colors or the picture quality but the zombie green in that pics looks a lot like Bayou Bullets Gator Snot green to me. But that Kryptonite Green on those smooth sided bullets makes me want to dive in an roll around in them. What's a fella gotta do to get some KG stateside?

    I'm waiting for some BETTER PHOTOS of the Green colors and differences.

    Trevor (Ausglock) was going to do this, REAL Camera and in Good Light.

    Bayous colour is much darker as it is a Dark Green, and no Metallics
    Have a chat with Gateway or Bayou to get some stock in.
    Ausglock, has snaggled the Australian market with his Kryptonite Green. Only available in liquid form.
    They are a nice coating with Green colour and Gold flecks.
    They shoot well also.
    The Zombie Green, when we make it in house, forms a much better and more even coloured coating and is shiny as well.
    After Ausglock tests some new powder samples, we will post results so you can see how it looks.

    They are 168gn sized .3575 for use in 357Sig in 1911/2011 guns for Std Division IPSC Major power factor loads.
    Accurate molds 35-168Z.
    Tom @ Accurate made this for me. After talking to Shooters that wanted a pill of that weight but with a longer nose specially for loading in 1911/2011.
    This is the most accurate bullet in 357Sig ever fired by both the Aust Champion and the Queensland state Standard Division IPSC Team.
    They are all using my Kryptonite Green coated Zombie Killer 168gn pills.

    Production Division shooters are using my Accurate 35-150Z in 9mm also coated in KG.
    Hooroo.
    Regards, Trevor.

    moonman. l used Al's NOE mold handles. I think theres alot of handles that would fit.

    Oh yea, you'll get mold lube too! Really takes care of your mold. No burnt, greesy mess on ya mold.

    I cut a lil piece off of copper wire (wide as pencil lead) & drop in hole then put set screw in and tighten. This locks threads in, protects threads, and sets your sproo plate bolt forever. USE ON ALL SET SCREWS.
