simple Hi-Tek coating

[fivel_976]

I use 20ml syringe to measure I use 2ml to coat 50 40cals and 4ml to coat 100 40s

Using you squirt bottle, only need 2 tablespoons, its a very very small amount. More of it will stick to walls of container than to boolits. In my findings it takes some very fast, vigorous shaking before the acetone evaporates.

2 TABLESPOONS? That does a lot of bullets. That's almost 30 ml of solution.

The instructions say 6 mils to 2500 grams ( you can convert to pounds if you wish). Six mils is 1/2 tablespoon. I work in a water testing lab and have access to lab measuring equipment. 2500 38 special bullets is around 200 to 250. I have never counted them. Guys, you have got to measure and weigh your stuff or you will fail! Make sure you shake the mix good before putting in swirling bucket.

Point for TexasGrunt for checking me at the door. I have been following the instructions to a Tee, used my gram scale for both solid and liquid. My mistake was ballparking in this thread. The point is though its a very small amount of solution on 4-5Lbs of boolits. Smaller then i would have thought when beginning this process.

If you have coating coming off when you pull stuck bullets apart says 2 major flaws.
1. Far too much coating being used.
2. Coating is not "Dry" before baking.
If you were to do a smash test on those hollowpoint bullets, it would all flake off.

BTW... Today is HITEK Joe's Birthday.
He was hatched back in the days of Donkey drawn carts.
So that makes him around 132 years old. No wonder he is a grumpy old fart.

Happy Birthday, Mate. I'd send you a bottle of Bourbon, but I'm broke..

My hallow points pass the 2 test I'm wondering it it's to thick maybe all the bare spots are from them sticking to the basket

Some reason my wipe and smash test passed with 2 coats and used WW and had bad leading. Used Range lead before I ran out with 2 coats the same way with 100ML acetone and 20 ml powder

Without leading. Is WW a softer lead them Range lead? I'm think WW is a softer lead but can't remember

WW is typically harder at an average of 14, range can be as soft as 6.

Happy birthday Joe!!

Happy birthday, Joe, may you have many more .

Tony, in general stick-on WW are pure lead, while clip-ons are harder (I've seen figures of 12-16 BNH). My pistol range scrap is about 12-15 BNH, but that could vary depending what the alloying is that the manufacturers use where you are. I have no idea if it varies state to state or country to country.
