    They look great.
    How did smash test go?
    Have you sized them as yet?
    I have had no problems with posting some photos as JPEG types but it does take a while to load onto site.

    They gave the best smash test I have ever had. ZERO and I mean ZERO flaking. They sized great. This was my first batch with bronze and was small- maybe 800 bullets. I just cast a good bit more and they have near 100% coverage. They sized great.
    At one with the gun.

    G'Day Joe,
    Resize your pictures down to apr 50 kb and they will go faster.
    Beau, Boolits look great, would look better on my bench
    Try cutting back a little on the first coat and swirling a little less before dumping

    It's going to drive you nuts sorting those.

    I'm guessing one of those is the Lee 155 SWC?
    Semper Fi!


    Currently casting for .223, .308, .30-06, .30-40 Krag, 9mm, .38/.357, 10mm, 44 Mag and 45 ACP.

    I like strange looking boolits!

    They look great! If they pass the smash and acetone test and shoot without leading don't change nothing.
    Boolits !!!!! Does that mean what I think it do? It do!

    Hi Joe

    I'm using the green on Magma NLG molds; 147gr 9mmP; 180gr 40; 158gr 38/357 and 95 gr 9mmK. Some of the 147gr Hi-Tek coated bullets look like they are going to France next month for the IDPA World Shoot! I'll keep you updated as the competitors in question are doing their final testing this week. Without a doubt the most accurate bullet I have ever shot. (No, I'm not going to France, some of my customers are.)

    Third coat of kryptonite green on some Accuratemolds .40 bullets before being baked. Second pic is the smash test. Very happy with it.

    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..

    Quit drinking about 40 years ago. But there will be plenty of food eaten.

    It has been about that long for me. Used to be a big beer drinker. Better off without it. Nothing better than a big glass of ice water!

    Ice water is my addiction.

    20 years carrying mail on a walking route got me hooked. There's nothing better than the feel of ice cold water going down my throat.

    If you ever see "King Of Kings" scotch and it's not too bloody expensive you should give it a go.

    So you guys would rather drink grass rotted for ten years in your water?

    I've run out of ways to test Hi Tek. I think I'm going to take something Joe said a while back and just apply one coat on some pistol bullets to see if it works. Has anyone tried this?
