    'Made a few 357446 from a new (to me) mold this weekend.
    I thought this mold had a wider front driving band than the one I had. I was wrong. Now I got two of the same one.... dangit.




    Again, they're speckled 'cause I still had just a little leftover blue powder in the cup.

    St. Pat's day will soon be here and of course the zombie apocalypse could happen at any time, either way I'm covered.

    It's 52 degrees, 83% humidity and I couldn't wait any longer.
    Got the brand new ES gun out of the box (HF) and found my homemade stray booth (box with a garbage bag inside of it to collect overspray) and gave it a try.
    .
    Started with some red with a bit of yellow--left over from tumble lubing (second row)
    Next was HF red (front row)
    and finally HF matt black (great name for a TV detective)
    .
    All got baked in my $19 Wally World toaster oven.
    .
    Got to say I'm really pleased
    Gun worked right out of the box.
    Did note that not much was happening then all of a sudden the bullets would be fully covered--don't know if I feel asleep or what was going on but no problems--I know what to look for now.
    Tried the epoxied nuts on the plate--no a fan
    Next was putting the bullets nose first into a reloading tray and turning them over onto the plate--much better. I was able to get down to the bases even with then close together.
    .
    My SASS buddies weren't crazy about the jelly bean colors--I think the black may win a few over.
    .
    What appear to be voids of PC is the reflection from the flash--just saying

    It allows me to hit the backsides, tho I guess it doesn't matter with most pistole loads.

    Well, I bought this off'n an ol' boy on Evilbay. He sells motorcycle parts that are this color too. And he's kinda secretive about his source, but 'best I could find out from him, and by comparison, it's this:

    birdadly's PC

    :EDIT: I decided my last pictures sucked, so today I took them outside in the sunlight, and believe I was able to capture better images...

    Oh, and I want to mention, take a look at the 40cal (round nosed ones). I don't load those yet, so just quickly used the dies w/out setting them up properly and look how it scrunched up the PC! I assume that's the seat/crimp not being set correctly. :EDIT:


    These are solids and combinations of HF and AllPowderPaints powders. I'm having a blast trying new colors/combos. I haven't actually shot any yet so maybe I should stop spraying for a bit and get to the range I've shot ones I dry tumbled and they worked fine. These have sized in Lee sizers w/out losing any coating, so I guess I'm hoping for the best

    Thanks to everyone for info, ideas and inspiration. -Brad

    I know I'm completely weird sometimes but the picture of mixed colors are driving my OCD completely crazy.
