The old goat can never catch a break.
I too hope they go in the correct order, down, then up.
I'm sure he will be back to read your comments, give you a good whipping with more hi-tek samples to test for him. No matter how much grief you give him, he is always sending you more work to do.
All jokes a side, i hope he gets better soon, the last time he was there they tried to knock him off the perch, hopefully they have gotten some better nurses to do his IVs now.
He is back home and as grumpy as ever.
Hooroo.

Good to hear it, well, the home part.
I swear it must be you, every chat i have with him, he is never grumpy I think i need to stir him up a bit more.
Hospital must be a seasonal thing with Joe wasn't he sick last year as well. I sympathize with him having the camera up the Kyber pass it is hard convincing the Doc to remove the tripod. Regards Stephen

Has Kryptonite Green been renamed Zombie Green? Didn't see any Kryptonite for sale on Donnie's site, but the Zombie green looks really similar

Hi team
Haven't been on in a while. Anyway, I purchased a mastercaster and got it running sweet. Made a few bullets and coated them in (cant remember which type) gold hitek. They look mint, smash test ok and solvent test ok. Sized to .358. Got my bullet feeder hooked up on the dillon. Ordered some choreboy from usa to scrub out my lightly leaded barrel. Can't wait to load a few up and hit the range for some testing. Covid has made getting range time difficult, but things are easing up in qld. Should be able to try some out in the next few weeks
Get some!
Shooting the Errol Harper match at the Goldy on Aug 15th... Come down for a yarn.
Hooroo.

What is Joe's status?
While I work at it, it is by God's grace that it happens. So it is best I ask him what, how and when before I start..
Rang him yesterday. He is still in Hospital.
Anti-biotics intravenously. some sort of small bowel infection. They didn't kill it the first time and it flared up again.
So the old coot is still there for probably another week.
He was having a huge whinge about how many orders he has to fill when he gets back to work.
Hooroo.
Regards, Trevor.

Wish Joe a speedy recovery!
I got my 1st order of Hi-Tek in the new gold today. Followed the mixing, drying and baking directions.
I may have shook them a bit too long on the 2nd and 3rd coating. A bit bumping surface. But they passed the acetone and smash test.
Thanks all for this thread. I gotta iron out my process and tune my heat.
