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.

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!

Saeco 160 SWC and 230 RN. It doesn't take long to sort them

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.

Wow! I like that green. You wanna trade some for my bronze?
To all you guys here in the US of A; Happy Independence Day!
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..
Happy July 4! Drink lots of beer and eat lots of food!
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!

But.........Fish fornicate in water...
I prefer a nice aged Scotch.
Beer.....Yuck!!!
Hooroo.

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?
