    I hope you are kidding. That video is full of satanic signs and symbols. Disgusting! If you are associated with that you and your video need to hit the road!
    Boolits !!!!! Does that mean what I think it do? It do!

    heavy metal is really really boring to me.. as is satanic stuff.. that being said.. she can smoke in my cars. Several companies sell HT coated bullets for you to check out.

    Ouch. That is just an old swedish/finnish rock band I visited for one album. Entertainment only,nothing real. Freely in youtube.

    Band name just happens to be OZ,I thought it was funny.

    Admins are of course free to remove the link if it's inapproporiate.

    Back to boolits:

    I'm getting excellent results with the new oven. I knew this would be good but it's kinda mind boggling to see no leading at all. I can keep the temp 196-206 C manually for now. It won't drop lower when I load the boolits in.

    Three range trips yesterday,one today.

    What range are you shooting at? I went shooting yesterday with a friend.. we shot 44 mag and .357 and 9mm all HT except for some pc bullets. I put up shoot-n-wsee targets cause it was easy to see what was going on at 25 yards. I kept changing em when they got shot up with 10-12 rounds he was all upset I was spending money on targets LOL.. targets are cheap compared to club fees and gas to get there and time off and the ammo... everything performed well and we did shoot some clays on the berm and some adult beverage cans.. fun targets are better than not fun targets.

    That was ten meters only. I adjusted the sights.

    I shoot many ranges,25 meters being the standard. Clays@25 is fun! A large 2'x3' plate@75 is fun,too.

    We have a competition next week, 25,50,75 and 100 meters.

    I have lots of demonstration to do with Hi Tek, now that I got it sorted out. A gun shop owner smashed a bullet the other day,you should have seen his face.

    I will give out small sample bags with some good bullets included. People have no idea about this around here.

    Attachment 220107.

    These are air gun and BP projectiles at a 300 meter range. Air gun folks do cast and would benefit from Hi Tek.

    Hahaha!

    I like all music,worked with it all. I come from traditional classical background.

    Having used my own real name here since 2005, I'm not a troll or agent of any agenda really. It's my english that sometimes gives trouble,I may sound harsh whatsoever. Please bear with me.

    It would be strange to get banned from a gun board for playing guitar.

    Hmmm.... Exciting times ahead for HITEK Colours
    I mixed and coated with 8 new colours last night.
    Baking them tonight.

    They tell me that the cowboy shooters like silver bullets?
    Well.....Hi Ho Silver...Away..

    Watch this space.....

    I had a guy ask me if i did silver too, he wanted silver cases and silver projectiles for western action.

    Looking forward to seeing the colours you did.

    I need to hit joe up for a colour chart, i'm using up the stuff i have, so i'll need to give some hi-tek a go in the not so distant future, just need to choose a purdy colour.

    I have also tested a new sizing lube.
    Aqualube 3000. I mixed 1.5mls to 250mls of Metho.
    Sized a few 1000 44 cal 230gn RNFP last light. these are bloody hard to size. even with the old Aqualube 5000. They sailed through with the AL 3000. slight white powder on the bullets once the AL3000 drys. but nothing to detract from the appearance of the bullets.
    I'll be using this from now on.
    Joe now thinks he can do a powdered version to get away from the Hazmat shipping costs. I'll try it when he makes it and report here.
    Hooroo.

    Tazza,
    There are lots of purdy colours. There are pictures of coated alloys available. That is best way to see how they turn out, as they show you two coats baked, smash tested.

    Ok... silver sounds pretty cool.. you should do a pink too for the ladies.. the 'problem' if there is a problem with HT coats is they rarely come out the color you thought they would.. in one respect that is what makes powder coat so cool.. lots of colors. shiny... I even did a mayan gold that is black with gold streaks.. I still like HT better tho. I ordered a convection oven to replace my black and decker toaster oven that the door is about to fall off on.

    I think that PC is a tad more forgiving of the cooking process but not much.. I am eager to try the convection oven with HT.

    Bronze would look good with nickel brass.

    Attachment 220205.

    I had excellent 75 meter accuracy today.

    My first oven was a major pain in all this, I had everything dialed and thought 3x15 min is the way to go. It was for a while,then I got carried away with alloys,sizes and powders and didn't notice that the oven thermostat had failed. I was undercooking all the time while trying new expander plugs etc.

    Trusting my old load works just great with Hi Tek. Same everything except lube.

    OK... Silver didn't work. It baked a light gold colour.
    But... There is a sample here that on the first coat, looks just like a copper jacketed colour. You would swear they were Sierra Factory jacketed pills.
    Baking the second coats tonight.
    Hooroo.

    Imitation jacketed isn't all bad, makes them look like factory ammo

    I'm keen to see the new colours.

    I just ordered a jar of Kryptonite Green to replace my black cherry. This looks the best out of the ones I've seen so far.

    New toy arrived this week too. Not bad for $120 worth of raffle tickets for a good cause.

    Oh, I wonder what he'll send then.

    Is the brick red restricted too? They are the best 2 colours.

    If you want I can tell people I am using yours. :P
