    Another 'New Twist' in PC'ing . . . > Standing the Boolits <

    A friend of mine on the 'You-Tube'...' Loads of Bacon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-M...hm02hMxIIY-b0w ' has demonstrated a new way to stand the PC'd casts that seems to be fast. I know some of you might be hesitating on getting into the PC world because of all the effort involved, handling involved...could be he has a way to do it that might work for you fellas.

    Excellent idea, I will try it very soon. Also stoked about using two trays, why didn't I think of that before?!? Slightly off topic, but am I the only one that wipes the base of boolits before baking? I guess my thinking was to minimize uneven lumps, since the base is important for accuracy. I suppose I could still wipe and drop into bullet block afterwards. Am I completely wasting time with this extra step?

    Put boolit trays on second tray.

    Wipe bases and put boolits in tray nose first.

    Take baking tray and put over boolit trays, pickup and flip.

    Bake.

    I wipe the bases for rifle but but not pistol. Don't S&B much.
    Whatever!
