    Ausglock's the expert,
    You can thin it down to 20 grms to 100 ml if you have to (done in the summertime when the solution flashes off to fast) but I wouldn't go thinner than that

    just because a bullet passes the smash test is no guarantee your gun isn't going to lead. If your bore is rough at all it could easily peel the coating off. Its not a cure for a gun that has tendencys to lead as much as it is a way to make a good gun capable of a bit more velocity.

    I agree with this...I'm not a PC or Hi-Tek guy (yet)...however, I do shot a lot of lubed lead. I had an issue with my Ruger Redhawk 44Mag leading due to a rough barrel (only shooting 800fps). After taking many strokes with JB Bore Paste and a tight patch this removed the roughness. Leading issue is now gone. I would think along the same lines with PC that is being deposited in the rifling.

    my 2 cents.

    I’ll second that.

    I have a Lyman 2 cavity 452374 mold here that is throwing bullets at .450"
    They would not group with Whitelabel lube. Nor will they group with Hitek coating. Leaded badly with both.
    I beagled the mold up to .452 with ali strip and they now shoot fine with hitek coating out of the Para GI Expert 1911 45ACP. sized to .452"
    Hooroo.
