To answer some questions:
Gunoil: I live in the Iowa but work for a vet clinic so using ml's just seems super easy to me. My last question was not about the ratio I got the 5-1-10 down was just wondering if Ausglock was using less of that ratio on the first coat compared to the other coats and if the ratio was thinned for the first coated for more even spread.
Ausglock: I'm not sure on the hardness of my bullets but I can't tell you I was using some lead my brother found by the river that appeared to be sheets of lead all smashed up. The thought on here was that was close to pure and causing my problem so I alloyed it with WW now the alloy is 1/3 river lead and 2/3 WW. I can pour some out of my pot and add more WW if you think that would help also my cousin can bring me some linotype if I need that.
Added: Better yet I'll put that pot off to the side and cast up 500 straight WW bullets so I can check alloy off the list of possible problem or maybe that is all that's going on. I will say there has been a improvement since I went from all river lead to only 1/3 but I'm not sure if that was from changing the coating or the lead.
Popper:Well I can't tell you if they are being cooked right or not but I have went this route to determine time and temp. After I coated a batch of bullets I put a hand full in the oven at 400(oven dial temp) for 8 mins and did the wipe test, and they failed. Worked my way up to 12 mins and they all pass the wipe test. Undersized bullets or a light load and crimp, Nope my pulled bullets measure .357 and my bore is .3555 so should be plenty over and no signing of crimping problems. My load is 4.7grs of bulleye under a Lee 124gr TL bullet OAL 1.125 quickload has it coming in just over standard pressure and about 1200fps.
ryokox3: no I have not used the above method to get the bullets to pass the wipe test.
Now on the smash test I have mixed feelings on if they pass or not. On the second coat no doubt they pass but on the forth coat when the bullet gets really flat you can see lead in the tumble grooves that doesn't appear to be from the hammer impact in anyway. I've still got the bullets I'll try to get some pics up.
