This has spoiled me. Its so danged easy. No mess. Cheap. NO LEADING. Very easy gun cleaning if powder choice and charge weight combo is clean burning. My pistols shoot well with PC boolits.
My previous batches were double coated and sized. Today I ran a batch that were pre-sized and then given one thin coat. My prediction is that it won't make a bit of difference other than saving me some time, powder, and a little energy. Powder By the Pound Super Durable Gold. It was very humid and the gold powder just jumped right onto the bare lead.
Also, my first batch with two trays in the small convection toaster oven "double decker" style. 250 .453-200-SWC H&G 68 clones, one tray hollow point, one plain point, 30 minutes at 400F. Worked great.
Edit: The NOE mold drops true to nominal with my alloy; .453". I sized and verified post size at .452". The thin single coat of PC took them right back to .453" on the micrometer. Should fit my 1911s fine.
