Guess I'm getting really old!

[JWFilips]

What is it with this Powder coated **** stuff! Can't get into it ...Don't like it ! Like my hands & beard to smell of Ben's Red....like my fingers to feel greasy with Ben's Red! Like my wife to say I smell funny when getting into bed at night! ( yeah I'm old not much going on except stink) Maybe somebody should arrange a shoot off : Old guys with greasy lubes against young guys with "Pink " boolits!.............. who is in? Where does the lead: go down the bore or in the bore! Geeze Pink boolits!!!

[Bullshop]

I am in. What are we shooting for speed or accuracy or both? Set the bar but not too low. How about best accuracy from a rifle at say not less than 2400 fps and from a hand gun at say half that 1200 fps. 10 shot groups rifles at 100 yards and hand guns at 50 yards.
I will be shooting in the greasy section.

[JWFilips]

Heck Yeah! Bullshop: I knew you would be in the greasy section..... ( your boolits shoot one ragged hole on my charts & no residual PB! in the bore)

[357maximum]

<------die hard greaser always will be.

Is my 14 inch dead stock 30-30 contender @ about 1900fps a handgun?

[JWFilips]

Jethro Tull "too old to rock & roll too young to die" If you understand that your in!

I have the Hi-Tek coating, I like it for handgun use. Rifle always get grease. Always.
I haven't decided if I will continue coating or go back to all grease.

Talking to Run the other day he mentioned he might try the Hi-Tek coating just to reduce oxidation of bullets in storage. Seems he thinks a 5 gallon bucket of a single bullet is just a start point.....

No not "Run" TOO Oh I'm old...... Time for bed ...but I will be wandering around the house at 4:30 am!

[btroj]

He is considering it. Not as a lube but an anti-oxidation coating for long term bulk storage of bullets.

I probably will get banned for "outing" him

I grew up watching the Lone Ranger on TV. It was one of my favorite TV shows. I guess that's why I think all "bullets" should look like silver bullets, not like something an ex-wife would have drug home from a Mary Kay sales meeting.

Wow. My Pa always told me if I didn't like sumpin', don't use it and shut up about it! If you go to the Coatings and Alternatives section you'll read about accuracy, handling, cleanliness, etc., and there's some comparisons there too. I'm only 67 but I ain't afraid of sumpin' new and fer sure ain't stuck in 1969...

[jmort]

It don't have to be one or the other.

[DeanWinchester]

Another greaser. I did he powder coating thing and had excellent results. Went back to lubing. I hated the whole process. To me it was messy, tedious and a general PITA. I'm glad it's working for other people and they'll get no condemnation from me.
I wouldn't give you the time of day for it.

Love the Red greasestuff that Ben makes no problems with nothing from pellet rifles to (yes I idd did say pellet) to the real bang-bangs

[bedbugbilly]

LOL

Jim . . . I'm with you . . . both as far as being old and as far as liking grease . . .

I will admit that I have looked at the PC from a distance . . . just out of curiosity . . . . not saying' anything is wrong with it . . . my wife tells me that I need to be more "open" to change . . . I just can't bring myself to shoot cartridges that look like lipstick . . . .

[gwpercle]

I'm going to stick with being a "greaser". Used Vaseline hair tonic to slick back my 1960's hair- do and my Lyman 450 lube/sizer has long been paid for so we will just keep on keepin on.

I don't care for the way them tecno-colored boolits look....it just ain't natural!

At one time in our past, I can just hear the same discussion about, jackets, smokeless powder, and even rifling. Look at the current discord over zinc boolits.

Understood it with a young mans understanding when it was released, never thought I'd be living it out.

So True, So True!

OHH! Geeze Zinc!!! I have been trying to keep that out of my boolits for years...... Don't tell me the young ones are putting it in!
The world's gone mad!

I think you all should go with silver boolits.... Not that I'd ever shoot them but I'd love mining the berm after you go

Seriously though I'm enjoying the PC, and getting my Fiancé to shoot was a rarity. Now that her pink gun shoots pink boolits she goes much more often now. That is a huge win for PC in my book.
